itsme102 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I'm gonna have to go with El Toro on this one. Honorable mention would have to go to (R.I.P.) Hercules. The turn out the drop was insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank6585 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 El toro for me, ive been to a lot of parks and no wooden coaster gives more airtime. But the hill after the 2nd bank turn is just brutal ejection out of the seat and is unexplainable. Â I keep forgetting my camera when i go to six flags and only found some cunstruction photos. I will be going back in about a week and will take tons of pictures. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okinawaboy11 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I'd have to go with Skyliner back seat. It's ejector to the max, and only with a Buzzbar. Â Also, Cyclops MAIN drop, not its first drop, but still. Â Hades also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_teisco_delrey Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 My top 3 1st drops. Â 1 - The Beast 2 - Legend 3 - Kentucky Rumbler . The twisty drop is just that....twisty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RctInfinity Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Gwazi is mine! I went on it recently. I only went on two different wooden coasters. Â Gwazi's drop had lots of airtime! The most airtime I experienced on a coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejafox Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Thunder Run at SFKK. it delivers speed and a nice fly-by of the station and sets up the rest of the coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Best wooden drop I've been on: The Wild mouse at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, it really has that out of your seat, out of control feeling. Â Best wooden structure drop(but not wooden track): the Ulitmate at Lightwater Valley. Because of how long the train is (10 cars) the pullover is insane in the back. Â Best second drop on a wooden coaster is on Thundercoaster at TusenFryd. It feels taller than the first drop (I not sure that it is though) and you're out of your seat every second of the way down.

jedi1 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 sob, the ride is like a runaway mine car that jars and bangs you to hell, but that first drop is insane. i hope they just do something with it give it a new name , build new parts. something.

pete4winds Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I'm gonna hafta go with the back seat on SFA's Roar and/or Hershey's Wildcat. I found myself floating down the first drop several inches ABOVE/BEHIND my seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdon Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 After about 60 or so woodies, I can say without a doubt that El Toro is by far the best forst drop on a woodie, maybe even the best first drop on any coaster with the exception of MF. Â Just my 2cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superman_test_dummy Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I gotta hand the best drop on a wooden coaster to El Toro in the back seat. First its the steepest woodie on earth but combined with an extremely fast cable lift and a great headchopper at the bottom this drop takes the cake.

jedi1 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 el toro hopefully. it will be my first trip there . im a cedar point person,pki,gl area thing mostly. how good is eltoro . so far my fav woodie is the beast. but the big dipper was my first coaster. anyway i also like beasts first hill but second is better imo.

Golfie Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Both Gwazi's at BGA. There is a TON of airtime, followed by a TON of vertical G's at the bottom because of the turn. It's a pretty intense drop for only 90 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisterbret Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 El Tora has the greatest wood coaster first drop on the planet! Â Coasters worth listing too. Â GA Cyclone (Back Seat) Riverside Cyclone (Pre Hack) (Back Seat) Coney Island Cyclone (Back Seat) Rebel Yell (Backwards last seat) Haven't ridden the Boss but that double down looks killer.

Calvin Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 When you're not expecting it... Â Back car, Colossus. My friend and I were talking about something down below and suddenly we were whipped over the top of the lift and I screamed my ass off. That drop is pretty huge. I was out of my seat the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwantRevenge Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 No Brainer, El Toro's of course, back seat you get airtime all the way down! it's also Beautifully shaped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.E.MO.Rocker Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I love the Voyages first drop. Back ca you get great airtime on the way down. But I'd say that the rest of the drops its best in the center car. My second favorite drop Beasts drop into that tiny tunnel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollerholden Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Worst first drop: Mean Streak, because of the trims! Â Roar at SFMW has a good first drop...airtime with a twist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musical Pete Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 For anyone who knows me this is predictable, but it's Grand National for me (and I've been further afield than Blackpool - 235 coasters so far). It's small compared to your silly huge US coasters (which I've ridden a lot of) but the airtime is superb, with a lovely rocketting feeling you just don't get from modern coasters. You can feel the track oscillate as the cars slam into the bottom of the double drop. You're flying for a heavenly couple of seconds then you're hilariously bouncing up toward the sky. No nasty stiff track with jarring vibration here - instead it's correctly ductile, greased and well maintained. Something America just doesn't seem to 'get'! Â Weeeeeeee FLYYYYY SLAM BOUNCE - nothing else like it. It's perfect hand-drawn circular 30s coaster magic - no precise CAD ledger plotting, no docile parabolic arcs. Only problem is PTC going wimpy with lapbar springs - the first drop of immense fun has become the first drop of painful pinning. I make sure to hold the bar up with both hands which results in a lovely ride, sometimes better than ever before, sacrifing hands up in the process.

thrillrideseeker Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I think the best first drop on a wooden roller coaster is The Texas Giant, or The Ozark Wild Cat! But I hate wooden roller coasters so I try not to ride many! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devious Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 lets see:  Jackrabbit/thuderbolt at kennywood (gotta love those pre-lift drops on the ravine  Raging wolf bobs at geauga lake, it's just so...odd  Wildcat at hersheypark, gotta love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
