Two of the biggest coasters built on this site go up against each other to determine the best model ever!

SSC must love big recreations of B&M hypercoasters. My vote may go to Apollo though. Completing that kind of a layout with those kind of proportions all with tube supports amazes me.

The two are equal for me, but nitro already won best model of all time on ssc awards and I want to give a chance to AC.

I'll just vote randomly, since I really can't decide.

EDIT: Okay, I voted Apollo's Chariot.

^lol

Damn, the first real re-cre of a Hyper that brought on the big hyper era, or the first Tube hyper which will probably start some big tube hyper era. The 2 are equally matched in quality, I guess it's just if you like Tubes or Boxs...

I went with AC. Both were great models but AC was better in my mind.

Neither of them actually made it around the circuit unaided. By the way, Nitro.

Nitro was amazing, but AC was too. If AC wasn't made with tubes, I wouldn't have voted for it.

What I've just recently that most of the older people here have voted for the older coasters for example of all who have posted so far in this thread people dating back from before 2006 voted for nitro, and all who have voted AC that posted in this thread have been here after 2006 (including me). Interesting, very interesting.

Nitro FTW!
It had a much more difficult layout, and more, difficult elements.
AC was awsome with the tube supports too.

But it isn't looking so good for Nitro right now.

Hard, hard. Nitro was slightly better in my opinion, though. I guess I just liked the layout and the style CC10 builds with.

All I have to say is CC10 is pure love. How could you go wrong with that?! Not to mention his Nitro coaster is awesome!

Well, i voted for myself but things are looking pretty bleak for nitro. It's not a pounding, but it's not looking like it'll get close to tying either. I guess things could get interesting, but i'm not getting my hopes up.

And coastergeek: we all love you too.
