let1gre Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Griffon's vertical drop. As close as I've ever been to freefall that didn't end with me on my face in pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDipper 80 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Although I'm tempted to say Millennium Force, one of my favorite drops has to be Gemini's first drop. It is just fantastic and floaty, and different. And I ADORE it's headchopper drop, especially on the Blue side. It is so fun to throw up your hands at that moment and freak out everyone on the train. For wooden coasters, I'd have to go with Jack Rabbit. That double drop is pretty excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CpBluestreakCp Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Wood- Jack Rabbit at Kennywood. Steel- Phantom's Revenge second drop. It is great going down that second hill and getting a head shopper from Thunderbolt. Also, Maverick. I always loved that drop since it opened. ^By the way, nice avatar.

texcoaster Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 going back in time..... Wood Rattler, opening season. Oh. My. God. Texas Cyclone, post turn. Sideways airtime with simultaneous headchopper. Wicked. Jack Rabbit, double down. 'nuff said. Steel PepsiMax. Too bad the rest of the ride blows. Expedition GeForce. Perfection. Excalibur (formerly Dexter Frebish's Electric Roller Ride) at SFAW in the back seat. Fixed lapbars, not expecting much from the ride, flat track leading to the drop, constant acceleration and then the car just got yanked out from under your butt. Was always fun to watch the braggers pull their raised hands back down to the bar in panic on that one. Very few coasters consistently made me feel that I was literally going to be thrown from the car, but that one did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiderodes Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 as of today my top 5... El Toro - the drop over Rolling Thunder into the finale X2 - the flip on the first drop is still pretty awesome to me Gwazii (blue) - the angled dueling camelback in the middle of the ride Ghostrider - off the block brake...especially at night in the back row Cyclops - the infamous drop into the ravine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDipper 80 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 ^By the way, nice avatar. Thanks Actually, I think that yours is prettier than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamoure Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Steel: 1.) X² - Frist drop, facing the ground = Probably one of my best coastermoments 2.) Superman (Parque Warner) - The most airtime on a coaster yet. In the front row, right seat: I flew up in the air and my whole body was ejected till my shoulders hit the resistains before the Zero-G-Roll rapes me.. and the airtime hill before the corkscrews No words for that. 3.) Goliath SFMM- First drop 4.) Expedition Geforce- First drop twistyness Can't rate wood coasters, still shocked by that CoasterExpress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire2box Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Steel: X2 (only been on the very back on the left outside seat though.. still fun) Wooden: Roar Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. It's not a high drop but it banks and turns on the first drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider-x Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 i like the drop in the que line of Disney Tower of terror. About 20 feet off of the rail but the bottom of the drop hurts a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Here are some new ones from me: Raging Bull's first drop in the back row Voyage's first and second drops, especially in the back Mamba's second drop in the ejector seat GCI first drops Eurofighter first drops Unexpected dark coaster drops, like on Fire in the Hole, and backwards drops "The" drop on Cyclops in the back row--not necessarily my favorite, but certainly as advertised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlover420 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Wood: El Toro, defintiely every single drop on this coaster is amazing! Especially the last one over Rolling Thunder! Steel: Magnum (well...of course) Millennium Force (back row baby!) Dragster (in the back on a good day) Raptor (flyin' over the midway...nuff said) Goliath (SFMM, my first hyper coaster...ooooooooohhh yeah) X ("wait...what?...AAAHHHHH") Nitro (airtime!) My list is a bit limited due to a short coaster list, but these are still some pretty amazing drops, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samisthabomb Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I love Euro-Fighter drops in general. My favorite wooden coaster drop would have to be on Rampage at Alabama Adventure, mainly because the drop continues once it reaches the ground (it's built on a hill).

A.J. Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Probably my favorite drop on a "small" roller coaster would be in Walt Disney World's Space Mountain - the largest drop on the ride completely caught me by surprise and rocketed (get it?) into a tight turn.

Across_the_Universe Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I did like the drop of Griffon when I rode it. Too bad the ride was pretty much over after that. The drop into the ravine that Phantom's Revenge has gets me every time! Same with the double-down on Jack Rabbit. Apollo's Chariot wasn't lacking in the drop department either. This way sound odd, but when you drop to go through the course of a Boomerang backwards. I actually rode the one in Wildwood a few times; it was much smoother than the one at Hersheypark.

cal1br3tto Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The second drop on Coaster at Playland is insane. So are most of its other drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumUnlimited Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The dip on Jack Rabbit always catches my stomach by suprise and on a steel coaster, I still love the drop on Milennium Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big-M Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Here are my Top 5 First Drops: 5. Nitro 4. Maverick 3. El Toro 2. Bizarro SFNE 1. Millennium Force Yes, I do have a thing for Intamin first drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Ive got to go with Raging Bulls first drop, back row. Apollo ranks highly for me too. Wood is El Toro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 GhostRider's drop off the midcourse (pre-trimmed). Insane airtime in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyEisentrout Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Definitely Raging Bull back seat. The second drop of Big Bad Wolf was a great one. Also, Whizzer has a great first drop, i love that turn at the end of the drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCI Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I 305's first drop pre-trim was intense! Intimidtor's First drop back row left wing seat! That about sums it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW1 Flying Ace Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 El Toro FTW!! The first drop and the last major drop going into the curvy ending are my 2 best. (Doesn't the park call a twister finale?) Maverick's first and USF's Mummy launch-drop are pretty good too as well as "Horse I lost my train of thought" and the last drop on Dudley-do right. (Please don't remove it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
