Roller Coaster

Background:

There are several Roller Coaster rating/ranking sites online that, while taking some objective measures into account, heavily rely on subjective input to determine the rating or ranking of a particular roller coaster (e.g., an "excitement"or "experience" score of an "expert" rider to measure "thrill").

In addressing this HiMCM problem, consider only roller coasters currently in operation. We have provided data for a subset of operating roller coasters whose height, speed, and/or drop are above the average of worldwide operating coasters. Therefore, we have not included family or kiddie coasters, nor have we included bobsled or mountain type coasters.
