I voted for the Harry Potter coaster but i am very curious to see how these 2 nes S&S coasters do (Steel Curtain and Maxx Force).

I too voted for Copperhead Strike.  Looks like a well rounded fun coaster.  Granted, I also love going to Carowinds.  I haven`t been there since Fury 325 was put in though.  I am hoping to change that for next year.

Yukon Striker looks like a fun coaster to.  Canada`s Wonderland is also a very nice park.  If you are in the area, I highly recommend you visit there.

There's a lot of fantastic-looking coasters to look forward to in 2019, but I the one I think I'm most intrigued by is Steel Curtain!

 

Judging by the rendering it looks crazy enough BUT JUST LOOK AT THESE STATS :blink:

Is that a cutback I see? AWESOME!!

And it's nice to see S&S put another dog in the race. Really, I think it's great whenever we see major coasters coming from all sorts of different manufacturers...

Mack, Premier, B&M, Intamin, GG etc., you name it....

No single manufacturer can provide every kind of thrill...Not even B&M or Intamin.....

Variety and diversity of ideas is what makes parks' coaster lineups complete :)

Is there a "let me see what 2020 brings" option?

With the possibility of B&M hypers/gigas at Kings Island & Hersheypark and an RMC Gwazi, I'm WAY more excited about anything in 2020 than I am for anything next year.  Copperhead Strike and Yukon Striker look like the best of the 2019 bunch, but I'd rather take the possibility of anything top-shelf worthy in 2020 than the sure-fire 2019 additions.

Copperhead Strike is the one I am looking forward to now. I am not a big dive coaster fan so that Yukon Striker does not excite me much. 

Canada's Wonderland is indeed a great park.  Leviathan is a top notch coaster although I prefer Fury 325.  Minebuster is a (almost) clone of what was Shooting Star at Coney Island.  Wild Beast is a clone of Grizzly at Kings Dominion. Behemoth is nearly as good as Diamondback. Also, the park has great flat rides.

Agreed! My wife and I can either go to Canada's Wonderland or Carowind's next year, and I think Copperhead Strike might be the deciding factor

Both being about the same distance from us

So, I'm most excited about both Steel Curtain AND Maxx Force, but since I could only make one choice, I chose Steel Curtain. Yukon Striker also looks cool and I hope to get to Canada's Wonderland within the next few years.

Yukon Striker for me... Of the parks on that list I'll only be visiting 3 next year; Canada's Wonderland, Carowinds and Dollywood... Of the 3 additions, it's the one I feel that will most improve the park it's going to... The Dollywood addition doesn't excite me, and I think that even without their addition, Carowinds already has a better lineup than Canada's Wonderland...

Of all the rides on the list, I think Steel Curtain looks best... But I won't be getting there until 2020 at the earliest :(

I am excited for Hakugei/White Whale at Nagashima Spa Land, and I plan on riding it for Spring Break next year!
