ernierocker Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) ^Agreed. The Back seat at night was just insane. Would of liked to have tried El Toro before they slowed down the lift hill. Edited August 28, 2013 by ernierocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Of what I've been on, I will have to go with Gold Striker. It feels so bizarre going down a fully enclosed drop, then what feels like firing out of a cannon as I fly through the rest of the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolercstrluvr Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Im definitely gonna have to go with El Toro on this. In the front its just insane, you just keep tilting forward and before you know it youre flying out of your seat. I want to get back to ride it asap. Honorable mention, as angry_gumball said Gold Strikers drop is awesome, best way to experience it is in the back. It just pulls you right over the top and twists to the right. Youre already hauling a$$ like a cannonball, with his words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booink Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 El Toro's at Great Adventure is crazy ! From the passenger POV's it looks vertical and it's insane ! The worst is Mean Streak with all the brakes it's boring and not interessing all. And it's rough ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrbuzz Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Based on all the woodies I've riden I got to go with Shivering Timbers. After that first drop it just feels like a never ending series of first drops with some of the best airtime I've ever experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I prefer Outlaw Run very slightly to El Toro. Both are amazing in the back seat. I also always liked The Predator at Darien Lake's first drop. Just that feeling of getting thrown over a cliff in a shopping cart gets me every time .

Coastergenius250 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I haven't been on a lot of wooden coasters, but i really enjoy Cornball Express' drop in the backseat. My Reaction: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get Johnny Knoxville to ride it before RMC gets their hands on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniellazarus Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Iron Rattler has the best first drop of any wooden coaster I have ever been on, even though it is a hybrid. Even after 78 times the first drop is truly magnificent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Haven't done Outlaw Run yet, but for me, it's El Toro. Such an amazing drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I haven't been on Outlaw Run yet, but of all the woodies I've been on, I'd have to go with El Toro, especially in the back seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oryp Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Medusa Steel Coaster at Six Flags Mexico or El Toro Medusa Steel Coaster is not a wooden coaster, as it's name suggests.. I have to go with Outlaw Run. I love the way it dips first to pick up a little speed, and the airtime as it pulls the back seat over is incredible.

cmullin Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Iron Rattler has the best first drop of any wooden coaster I have ever been on, even though it is a hybrid. Even after 78 times the first drop is truly magnificent! Well, if it's a hybrid, it's not a wooden coaster, so it can't really be the best drop on a wooden coaster...

XII Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Definetly El Toro with Outlaw Run as a close 2nd favorite first drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWolfman Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I also always liked The Predator at Darien Lake's first drop. Just that feeling of getting thrown over a cliff in a shopping cart gets me every time . Timber Terror and Tremors both have drops that are like this, and that is why they are amazing (other than airtime). But Timber Terror has the edge due to buzz bars ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 ^I've lost track of my opinions on first drops, since there are plenty of great ones, as well as some average ones on otherwise amazing coasters. But I wouldn't be surprised if Timber Terror in the back would still make my top 5. The front is no slouch, either; excepting the first drop, it offers all the air you could possibly want.

deano Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Even though it isn't the wildest or steepest, I love how Boulder Dash's first drop is always about the same height from the ground and the trees really accentuate its speed. You nailed it, Boulder Dash is my personal fav, followed by El Toro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I always tend to prefer first drops that don't come immediately after a lift hill. It builds even more suspense and also lets the train gain some speed. Right now I really liked Outlaw Run's little dip before the drop and most GCIs that have a turn around before the drop are pretty great too like Apocalypse. Then of course there is El Toro's awesome first drop after really hauling through it's top of the lift turn around. As for favorite non-first drops on wooden coasters, I'd like to bring up the Voyage's triple down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 For some reason I don't like turns before drops and the only reason is it seems like such a waste of structure to me. The ride would us much less wood if the slow(ish) turn was closer to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kailisun98 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Outlaw Run! Its so steep and it really hauls ass because of the great first drop. Silver Dollar City did a really good job of incorporating the coaster into the natural scenery too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Time to bring back a dead thread. We have the "Best drop on a steel coaster going around" So, I figured it would be fun to talk about best drop on a wooden coaster since a lot of new wooden coasters have opened since the last time this thread was active. So, for me... I am going to say that Outlaw Run has the best drop on a wooden coaster. It is steep, and amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
