Zack44 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 El Toro, pretty obvious decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbarner14 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I think El Toro has the best drop. I experienced it in the back seat for the first time yesterday and found it phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedten Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I'd say Legend The Beast's 2nd lifthill drop into the covered helix & American Eagle's 147 foot drop into framework (longest, tallest, fastest racing woodie in the world) are the best I've been on. Can't wait for El Toro in 2010! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Linn Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 El Toro Every other drop on a woodie I've ridden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90377sedna Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Playland's Dragoncoaster in Rye, NY has a killer first drop. It's also blind, coming right after an innocent hairpin turn out of the initial ascent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermanrosfan0810 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 El Toro obviously, and more under the radar I'd say Cyclone at SFNE in the backseat. Halfway down the drop off the chain there's one of the most violent moments of ejector air I've felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 This is easy. Timber Terror: amazing airtime! I was so shocked. My quote after riding: "Did you feel that?" Tremors: I'm infatuated with the turnaround. I think I had an expression of pure shock every time, preparing to scream. The drop itself is tall (and the tallest I've been on...too bad) and leads into the first of several outstanding headchoppers (which I love)! Roar at SFDK is fun because there's that moment where I feel like I'm going to fly out...totally psyches me out. Timberhawk isn't too well liked as a coaster, but it has a surprisingly decent first drop into a headchopper. Best pre-lift drop is definitely the drop into the tunnel on SCBB's Giant Dipper. Amazing surprise every time! I swear there's even a bit of air. You can see how many wooden coasters I've been on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bebes Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Of the woodies we have ridden as of 2009: El Toro!!!!! No Contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franc Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 El to the Toro (rode it for the first time today. Three letters; OMG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Voyage's is nice. So is Raven and Legend. BUT! The best so far for me.... Cornball Express! Laterals and ejector air. A speedy chain lift straight away; then BAM! Out of your seat and into the person/seat to your right. Awesome way to start an EPIC ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreaksrttd Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 EL TORO..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Of currently existing coasters, El Toro easily. If we're including past coasters too, tied for first would be Hercules. Before the "holding brake" on the drop of course. The Beast (again, pre-trimmed) is another very very close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I would have to agree with a lot of people here and say El Toro. Though I also like Tremors and Ravine Flyer II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 T-Express!! That nice -1.5 g spike in the middle of the drop is awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A speedy chain lift straight away; then BAM! Out of your seat and into the person/seat to your right. Awesome way to start an EPIC ride. I know exactly where you are coming from...New Mexico Rattler's drop is absolutely amazing in the back seat, for the same reasons you mentioned. But...the original Boardwalk Bullet drop in the back seat is the most extreme drop I have ever felt. It was seriously El Toro-like airtime just with a PTC lapbar...which means it was crazier. Too bad they smoothed it out (although it still rides great and has decent air, just not as good as the original). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absimilliard Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 T-Express!! That nice -1.5 g spike in the middle of the drop is awesome!! T Express for me too! -1.5g?? Is that the most intense airtime moment on any coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowaymang Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 My favorite first drop on a wooden coaster is the Blue Streak at CLP. Quite awesome in the back rows. I also quite liked the Villian at Geauga Lake. (SFWoA, SFO, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
