Jerrykoala2112 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 For me, the best drop on any wooden roller coaster is the Cyclone at Six Flags New England. Rode it on the North East trip last year, and chose to sit in the back. You don't hear much about this coaster on TPR, so I wasn't expecting much. But that first drop was WOW! Intense airtime.

LoopLover Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hmmm...I think my favourite drop has to be the first drop on Kraken at Seaworld. It just feels so open and you get a great view and rush at the same time! I also love the drop on Saw:The Ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigalyte Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 For me it's i305 and El toro those are two drops I just find amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The best drops for me are: Steel: Goliath at Walibi World Wood: El Toro at SF Great Adventure Non-Coaster: High Fall at Movie Park Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominoes Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 My drop for ne is Tonner de Zeus at Parc Asterix. Back row, lots of airtime, steep drop, and tunnel that scares the hell out of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yeti Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Sheikra is my favorite first drop with Maverick's first drop close behind. If a Stengel Dive is a drop, throw Maverick's in third. Wildfire is my favorite drop on a B&M sit-down or floorless looper. Orient Express's first drop was terrifying in the back seat, and so memorable. I'm not a big fan of drops on Inverted coasters since most provide little airtime, but both Dragon Challenge and, especially, Patriot have a nice whip down the first drop near the back seats. Manta's Pretzel Loop is one of my favorite elements, but I'm not sure that qualifies as a drop... *Gotta love that last drop on Space Mountain!* And let me just say Dudley Doo Right's finale is the best drop on a log ride with or without seatbelts, and pretty much any other drop on the ride is up there. Weather and lines permitting, I would not pass up a chance to ride it! As for wooden coasters...none of the ones I've ridden should make this list ...I hope to change that this year!

biker7766 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 El Toro, Back Row PERIOD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanreich Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 X2 in the front row with the amazing view on the drop. My second favorite is Xcelerator in the back row, you're practically flying out of your seat going down the other side after the airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainbowDash Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 One of my favorite drops is possibly the first drop on the Giant Dipper at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. It's a very thrilling wooden drop. And I live really close to there, so I can easily access it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatle11 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I think Leviathan has to be added to this list. You definitely get great air in the back, and on a 300 foot+ drop, it's amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXman308 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Steel Eel at Sea World San Antonio has one of the best drops I've been on. It has a pre drop like B&M but it's slanted downward. Insane airtime in the back seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublestufforeo Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The Incredible Hulk, coming out of that tunnel upside down into that drop is amazing, especially on an outside edge seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legoguy1395 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCY43AhKBZw But if you are talking about coasters, I305 would definitely be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CpBluestreakCp Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I've always liked Maverick and the second drop of the Phantom's Revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rai Fox Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Phantom's Revenge. The second drop, into the ravine, at night...it feels endless, like you'll never pull up out of it. I've been on Intimidator, Kingda Ka, Gryphon...none of them can touch that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger01 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Megafobia has a great drop when your in the back! The Grand National at Blackpool tops for me since it goes straight into a double drop, AND YOUR RACING! I've been on Stealth once but I wasn't really taking much notice of the drop because I was having too much fun. As I recal though it felt soft. Oblivion. Rage, Speed, Saw are alright, although I prefer Rage out of them three. Dragon's Fury at Chessington has a great fun drop! The Pepsi max drop is alright. Megafobia wins it for me personally. It's the perfect balance between small and sweet and massive and scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalyte Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Without a doubt, X2 has had the most insane drop I've been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideofSteel Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Nitro's drop is great in the back row. You get flung over the top of the hill and have airtime all the way down. Its just slightly above average in every other row though. But, nothing beats El Toro's drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster_Fanatic Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Wood: El Toro. It's just so amazing I can't explain it in words. Steel: Intimidator 305, in the back, with your hands up. Amazing freefalling sensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomes1225 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Sheikra has a crazy first drop. I love the holding brake at the top. It scared the crap out of me the first time I rode it. The first drop on Cyclone at SFNE in the back has some crazy airtime. It's a lot nicer too now that its been retracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRHcoasterki Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I love Diamondback's first drop. (But I haven't been on THAT many coasters ) I also sort of like the drop on Coney Island's Cyclone. Even though is HURTS. I think I enjoy it because of the nostalgia? I don't know. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmerleeberry Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 The Jack Rabbit at Kennywood - the double dip feature. Best part of the ride. "If I had a double dip feature, would you have stayed in bed with me?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Sheikra is my #1 favorite first drop coaster. Next is a tie between Rock Bottom plunge and Dare Devil Dive. Dare Devil Dive Rock Bottom Plunge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
