Best One-Two Punch


Recommended Posts

Out of the parks I've been to, I'd say Cedar Point has the best 1-2 punch with Millennium Force and Steel Vengeance (sorry Maverick fans) followed by Kings Island with Mystic Timbers and Diamondback. Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags New England, and Kentucky Kingdom also have great 1-2 punches.

You don't have to apologize for picking an inferior coaster to Maverick. That is on you.

 

 

Definitely Cedar Point - Steel Vengeance and Maverick. This park wins even if one of those two didn't exist.

Skyrush & Lightning Racer (one's crazy, the other's fun -- I love 'em both)

Magnum & Millennium Force (iconic record-breakers and faces of the franchise)

Dragster & Millennium Force (my pick)

 

With all of the one-trick pony talk, Kingda Ka being a little bit bigger, downtime, and having Maverick/Steel Vengeance there, I feel like the most exhilarating ride in the park has become a little bit underrated. Dragster is it still the only coaster that makes me say "gulp," and then I giggle like an RCT peep at the exit and run right back in line.

Using the nerdy ranking list method, here's every two-punch with a coaster in my top ten currently:

 

Millennium Force (1) + Maverick (4) || Cedar Point (5)

Outlaw Run (3) + Time Traveler (8) || Silver Dollar City (11)

New Texas Giant (2) + ShockWave (11) || Six Flags Over Texas (13)

Iron Rattler (5) + Wonder Woman: Golden Lasso Coaster (12) || Six Flags Fiesta Texas (17)

Goliath (7) + Raging Bull (9) || Six Flags Great America (18)

The Voyage (6) + Thunderbird (22) || Holiday World (28)

Diamondback (10) + The Beast (19) || Kings Island (29)

3a. SFGAdv: El Toro(8) + Nitro(38) = 46

3b. Liseberg: Helix(19) + Balder(27) = 46

5. Hersheypark: Skyrush(6) + Storm Runner(44) = 50

Some honorable mentions that didn't quite make the cut: Taron/Black Mamba, Alpengesit/Apollo's Chariot, Outlaw Run/Wildfire, IRat/Superman, Flying Dino/Hollywood Dream

 

Some unridden combo's to look out for that could rank: Goliath/RMC Robin Hood, SD2000/RMC White Cyclone, IRat/Wonder Woman, iSpeed/Katun, Fury 325/Copperhead Strike, Twisted Cyclone/Goliath

 

I want to make a ranking like this for top 3 or even top 4 coaster collections!

I'm up to 52 credits. This is where every Park I've been to with 2 coasters ranks for me. This could change soon, as I'm hitting Dollywood and Lake Winnepesaukah.

 

Carowinds - Fury 325 (1) and Intimidator (4) = 5

Kings Dominion - Intimidator 305 (2) and Twisted Timbers (3) = 5

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom - Medusa (5) and Roar (12) = 17 (Haven't gotten on Joker yet)

Busch Gardens Williamsburg - Alpengeist (8) and Griffon (9) = 17

Disneyland Anaheim - California Screamin' (11) and Space Mountain (23) = 34

Walt Disney World - Rock 'n' Roller Coaster (19) and Expedition Everest (24) = 43

Legoland California - Dragon (39) and Coastersaurus (40) = 79

Mirabilandia: iSpeed + Katun. You're not going to beat that. Without a doubt, the best one-two punch.

 

Some runners up.

Six Flags Magic Mountain: X2 + Twisted Colossus

Busch Gardens Tampa: Kumba + Montu

Liseberg: Balder + Helix

Cedar Point: Steel Vengeance + Maverick. New best One-Two punch.
