Zoltan_Kodaly Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Wood - Haven't been on many woodies, and I'm not a big fan of Ghostrider, so I'd have to say Tremors backseat! Steel - X, and the Mindbender HELLS YES. Not the one at SFOG, but at Galaxyland in West Edmonton Mall! Oh man, within 3 seconds you plunge from the metal beams at the top of the building to below walkways and track and what seems like a beyond-vertical plunge into hell itself, man I love that thing. http://www.rcdb.com/ig193.htm?picture=3
pgathriller Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 My favorite drop on any ride is Drop Zone at PGA. I think when Sheikra opens, it will be a cool drop.
Richard Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Well considering all I've been on Steel - Raging Bull back row or Oblivion, arms and legs out. Greeaaat dropping feeling, both pretty similar. I think I prefer Oblivion's though because you get that back row feeling, yet have a fantastic veiw of the whole ride and beautiful surroundings. Wood...considering I've only ever been on 2 woodies! (I know!) The Grand National. That double dip is insane, you really do fly.
X Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Wood:Ghostrider (The other 2 woodies I ever rode SUCK!) Steel:Xs Skydive. That drop is SO INSANE! Xcelerators Awsome Tophat and DejaVus Vertical Tower. Goliaths drop is also fun. Drop Rides:Supreme Scream and Tower of Terror Kevin"The drop ride at my local fair was SO much better than Freefall at SFMM" Bujold
M_Force_4_ever Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Concidering the small amount I've been on here are the best: Steel: M-Force, Raging Bull Wood: Viper's double dip, great airtime. if I remember correctly the Boss had a pretty fun first drop.
Eunuch Provocateur Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 for some reason, I really liked the first drop on Medusa at SFMW. And Goliath's... I really need to get out of this state. Ghostrider's THE DROP was the shit when the ride wasn't shit.
Coasterkid20 Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 I think everyone here is riding a different Ghostrider than I am, cause there is way to much bitching about it in my opinion. I've been on A LOT of wooden coasters that beat the crap out of you a lot more than Ghostrider does...... Adam "Stop your whining" Hornick
BiCoastal Kid Posted April 14, 2005 Author Posted April 14, 2005 ^Dude, last time I got off of it two years ago I had bruises.
Movieguy Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 I remember one of the last times I was at Kennywood, my mom went on the Thunderbolt, and ended up bruising a rib on her side. It wasn't terrible for her, but she wasn't too comfortable for a while.
Mr Stratosphere Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 I really enjoyed Desperado's First Drop but since the ride isn't aging well the coaster has become really rough, but I still love that first drop. Tower of Terror (Disney MGM Studios, Florida), there was one program i rode which was the best. The ride actually caught me off guard. X- SFMM
CoasterFanatic Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 I remember one of the last times I was at Kennywood, my mom went on the Thunderbolt, and ended up bruising a rib on her side. It wasn't terrible for her, but she wasn't too comfortable for a while. What's funny is that my mother is very picky about coasters, but anytime she goes to Kennywood, she rides Thunderbolt. She is 62, but she taught middle school for 38 years so she is pretty TOUGH!
CoasterExpert13 Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 My Favorite Drops were on: STEEL Raptor's 1st Drop: Cedar Point Mantis's 1st Drop: Ceadar Point Millennium Force's 1st & 2nd Drop: Cedar Point Phantom's Revenge's 2nd Drop: Kennywood Dominator's (BKF) 1st Drop: Geauge Lake WOOD Villan's 1st & 2nd Drop: Geauge Lake Mean Streak's 1st Drop: Cedar Point Thunder Bolt's 1st & 4th Drop: Kennywood Dave" Phantom's Revenge Is The Shhh".....Knight
dougr Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Mindbender at West Edmonton Mall. The way the track curves around and drops...you can't see it...
ECZenith Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 SFNE's Superman Ride Of Steel-The first 220' drop into a mist-filled, neon-lit underground tunnel is second only to the entire ride's ridiculous airtime.
KrakenKing Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Wood - GA Cyclone Steel - SheiKra (Back Row) or Montu (Front row) Other - Acrophobia

palavos3 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 The Kissimmee Skycoaster has the best drop of any ride in the world. All others pale in comparison.
