irideburton4 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I haven't been on enough popular woodies but I really like American Eagle's, and Wildcat's (Hershey) drop American eagle still scares me after almost 10 years of riding it, and I love the Lats/uncontrollable feeling of wildcat's drop in the back
rcjp Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I also haven't really been on many quality woodies so my favourite right now is Cú Chulainn's drop in the back (at Tayto Park)
viking86 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I haven't been on many great wooden coasters, but for me it's the Intamin woodies that stands in a league of their own. El Toro is by far my favorite, followed by Balder.
Superbatboy Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 El Toro by far, though I do like the first drop on Goldstriker a lot as well
ItsMe Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Hard to say... I think the first drop on Troy in Toverland beats f.e. Wodan and Joris en de Draak. Outside Europe I barely have ridden woodies, so can't judge there.
DoinItForTheFame Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 El Toro /endthread I still prefer Outlaw Run. Not sure why. El Toro has an amazing drop!!! But I'm still partial to Outlaw Run... maybe because it's been so long since I've been on El Toro..
lond Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I still think that T-express and Balder beats El Toros first drop. /// Marcus
grsupercity Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Who ever doesnt agree that El Toro wins hands down can leave tpr
scbt Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Of the wooden coasters I've been on, El Toro is head and shoulders above being head and shoulders superior to everything else I've been on. The way you get launched out of your seat is absolutely unreal!

coasterkid124 Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Outlaw Run still is my winner. I love Toro to death, but OR's pre drop and snap over the hill is breathtaking. Plus it has a much better view. Toro's turnaround gives you a little more time to prepare for the drop. Once I get on Lightning Rod, I bet it will take my number one spot.

Every one of the reasons you listed are reasons why Outlaw Run is my winner as well. I LOVE El Toro, but Outlaw Run still beats it. I agree with you. Once I get on Lightning Rod next year, Outlaw Run may become my #2 wooden coaster.
Imagineer Josh Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Goliath at Six Flags Great America's drop is something else. Seriously guys?
DoinItForTheFame Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Goliath at Six Flags Great America's drop is something else. Seriously guys? Haven't been on it yet... So I can't say.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 I haven't been on El Toro yet (or anything on the East Coast for that matter), but I will say of the Midwest woodies, Goliath has the best first drop. It's huge and goes into a tunnel, and as steep and smooth as they come. Outlaw Run's is almost as good, being only 3 feet shorter and 2 degrees less steep. The experience is almost the same, but the tunnel really makes it for Goliath. You feel like you're being flung straight into the earth. I also really like Boss's double-down first drop. The first part is so long, but then instead of coming back up, it drops again, this time through the support structure. Awesome.
jray21 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I agree with El Toro. Haven't been on any of the newer rides, but El Toro is my pick.
Nitro1118 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 El Toro is my number 1. My 2nd would be Cornball Express in the back row...extremely underrated and slightly frightening.
RollerManic Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 El Toro is my #1 overall, but I gotta to give my home park some love. Boss's double down drop is a real treat!
Angle O. Descent Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Goliath and Shivering Timbers both had good pulls in the back seat. Almost felt like I was on a steel coaster
blk_mamba Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Just coming to post on the El Toro band wagon. I had no idea it was so intense when I first rode it and it really took my breathe away and it has a nice head chopper effect. Haven't been on a RMC yet though. Not even sure if half of them count, lol.
WOFanatic Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I'll be voting Outlaw Run for this one. It's extremely steep, very tall, and has a view that can take your breath away almost every time.
Paradox Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Wicked Cyclone in the back row. You get thrown out on the crest and then get slammed back down with some great positives before the overbank.
El Toro_Ryan Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Wicked Cyclone in the back row. You get thrown out on the crest and then get slammed back down with some great positives before the overbank. WC definitely has a great first drop but it's moved on to the steel category thanks to the awesome RMC conversion! And I'm going to jump on the El Toro bandwagon as well. That first drop in the back seat is my favorite first drop on any coaster.
Genx24 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 There is only one answer to this question: El Toro.
