coastersrule85 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I have to agree with others that Voyage in the back seat is amazing on the first hill...and everything from then on as well. My second favorite is probably Hades.
renegadeboi99 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Dude, easily Renegade at Valleyfair. The awesme twisting first drop!!
Moose Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 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. Â Cyclone was even better pre neutering. Â I would have said El Toro, but then I rode Balder with its turn into the drop, crazy negative g's annnnd HEAD CHOPPERS THE WHOLE WAY DOWN!!!! For me, Balder clearly wins.
silvercrew1 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Son of Beast! So fast and very smooth when you get to the bottom of the first hill. Best part of the ride.
DiSab Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 ^Son of Beast... and... smooth?!? Careful, you might rip a hole in the space-time continuum.
James_A Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Terminator Salvation looks amazing, and probably would be my number 1 woodie but since you have to have ridden the coaster to vote it, Id say Tonerre De Zeus at Parc Asterix! Â Balder and El Toro are amazing woodies, if you don't believe me look at what others say about them! Unfortunately I can't vote for these as I have not ridden them. So Tonnere De Zeus for me!
lond Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I say T-Express!! Â That massive airtime spike in the middle of the drop is awesome!! And it's so big that you can't see the bottom of the first drop.
LcHg5265 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Boulder Dash: In the back seat. Â Being pulled around the drop, flying by rocks and trees, and the high speed laterals...I miss Boulder! First drop overview! Approaching the first drop!
Coaster Cow Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 The Voyage in the back seat. However, I have always loved the little flat drop before the steep one on the Texas Giant. You pick up a ton of speed and hit it really hard in the back seat.
testtrack321 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 El Torro and The Legend have awesome drops. The Legend's after they added the slides to the water park is now just freakin insane. And El Torro... well it's El Torro, you don't need a reason!
wickedtwister Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Which El Toro? Â oh Good one! I forgot theres a new one. SFGAdv of course!
HCLcoasters Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Out of the few good wooden coasters I've ridden I have to say Roar at SFA has the best first drop.
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I know it's not a drop per se, but the tunnel on Psyclone. Sitting in the station was the smoothest part of the ride. The tunnel before the lift was the only BARABLE part of the ride.
CHILLERLC1 Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I take El Toro's first drop like it's nothing. It's so smooth, easy, the gateway to craziness. I think I've held the most respect for going down the Coney Island Cyclone's first drop.
Franc Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Xcelerator is a wooden coaster? Â Haven't you heard the latest news? It's being converted into a wooden coaster at the end of the season...
KnottsDisneyFarm Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Xcelerator is a wooden coaster? Â I didn't read the rest of the topic title. I just saw "best first drop." I think the best first drop on a WOODEN coaster is El Toro...definitely.
Capitalize Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Gotta be El Toro. I can't think of another that even compares.
freddycoasterkid Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Parc Asterix's Tonnerre de Zeus Back seats, TAKE THE TUNNEL!!!
FeelTheFORCE Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Another good one is Ravine Flyer II. One of the few drops that still takes my stomach.
atem122 Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 The back seat on Roar at SFDK gives a pretty awesome experience
