Shawnk Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 The best drop I've been on the the first on Goliath at SFMM. Though I still think the final drop on Splash Mountain at Disneyland is among the best.
jray21 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Wood: El Toro  Water: Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls, and honorable mention to the defunct Perilous Plunge.  Steel: X2 front seat  Drop Rides: Blue Fall  Other: Cyclops' psycho 18 and older seat drop.
brockboehm Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Acrophobia is definitely my favorite. Got to ride it a couple times on my previous trip to Atlanta. It's absolutely insane. Â Wild Eagle's first drop is really good too. I like to stick my arms and legs out forward on it. Feels like you're just free-falling. Goliath at SFOG was a good one too.
Coaster Curt Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Wooden: Renegade's first drop, love the turning fall. Â Steel: Have to go with Maverick and Millennium Force for best drops. Â I need to get on more coasters.
SingleRiderCam Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Steel: The first drop on X. It is completely intense. Â Wooden: Every drop on Ghostrider in the pack car. The best wooden coaster experience I've ever had. Especially at night.
Oryp Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Wood: El Toro for me, hands down (or hands up... ) Â Steel: I305 (sans trims, of course), especially at night. The fact that you're already moving at a decent rate, and the angle and length of the drop make it one of the best anywhere. Â Random: I love Alpengeist's first drop so much. It seems to take forever to drop, and the sense of speed is incredible flying through the valley. Â Honorable mentions: Maverick and Fahrenheit. I really wanted to include Dare Devil Dive, but the heavy brakes going over the crest killed it for me. Still a good drop, but not nearly as intense as it could have been. I can't wait to get on Mystery Mine to try out another Eurofighter.
mark549 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Griffon - drama and weightlessness  Skyrush - ejector seat runner ups: I-305, Xcelerator, X2, Superman Discovery Kingdom, Millennium Force, Superman SFA (Maryland), Raging Bull (first drop, only)  Maverick - favorite beyond 90 degree drop Fahrenheit was great. Dare Devil Dive is too braked. Mystery Mine is like a wild mouse on steroids (lap bars would improve it).  Voyage - favorite wood drops (I haven't been on El Toro) runner ups: Tremors, Apocalypse (dropping through the structure), Raven (back seat)
simon8899 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 The best is Expedition GeForce - in the rear the ejector forces are totally insane. Â Of course for me also the near-vertical drops of Schwarzkopf portables like Olympia or Triple-Loop.
Zcev5454 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Steel- Maverick  Wood- The Boss' Double Down( haven't been on too many wood coasters)
CorkscrewFoley Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Wood: Jack Rabbit (since I haven't ridden El Toro or Voyage). Wild Beast's turnaround drop in the back seat, total airtime there. Â Steel: Phantom's Revenge first and second drops. Behemoth and Leviathan's first drops.
cmullin Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Wood: El Toro  Steel: Goliath at SFMM, X2 front seat, and Kingda Ka
vacoaster09 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 WTH... just saw this ride and had to post it... I doubt its the best but it's interesting.
alpengeistfan1 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 ^^ Reminds me a lot of Great Bear actually, just the extra 180 degrees or whatever is what makes it look strange.
GigaG Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Wood:- Any on the Phoenix (Airtime!!) - 'The Drop' on Ghostrider  Steel: - X's Skydive - Xcel's Tophat (I love how it seems like it's going to dump right on to the street below)  Other: - PP before neuterification (soo steep) - ToT at DCA (only seat-belts!)  I'm sorry, but what is "PP".  I love Millenium Force's drop and Maverick's drop. Diamondback has a good drop (I think), as does, well, any other coaster with airtime over the drop.
Voxelmatic Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 PP is what you do when you ride Perilous Plunge.
singemfrc Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Gotta be X2 front row. Face first straight down, nothing else like it on this side of the planet.
cmullin Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 PP is what you do when you ride Perilous Plunge. Â Haha! True!
CorkscrewFoley Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Haven't ridden Knight Valley, but it definitely has an interesting drop...
Angle O. Descent Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Mine in no particular order: - Xcelerators tophat (back row) - El Toros first - Mavericks first - Behemoths first - X2s skydive Edited February 26, 2013 by Angle O. Descent
markysharky17 Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 The drop on Sheikra and Rip Ride Rockit are really good. Also El Toros and nitros drops are good.
