HCOSurfer90 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I would have to say: Wood: The Cyclone (Coney Island). I absolutely love that drop, but that may change after this summer (El Toro) . Steel: Kingda Ka. Nothing beats a spiraling vertical drop from 456 up!
I_am_Em0_0 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Wood Roar SFMW Gotta love the twist! steel Medusa SFMW Air time! Other drop zone PGA and DCA's tot
phazan Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Steel: X has the BEST drop I have ever experienced on a coaster. However, it doesnt really give a ''traditional'' coaster drop so I also will pick DeJe Vu because I like vertical drops! Wood: Roar at SFMW gives a good floating feeling on its first drop. Other:ToT at DCA rocks!!
rabid disney Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 That ive been on. Steel Goliath Wood Roar and ghostrider Drop rides The highest in the world of course GIANT DROP http://ozcoaster.net/photos/main.php?g2_itemId=385
verticalzero Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Son of Beast 1st drop as you zoom past the Vertical Loop and see how big it really is
timetrial3141592 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 The best drop is on Riddler's Revenge. Front seat. Center-right. It feels like you will fly out of the train.
socalMAN123 Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 My favorite drop on a coaster is Goliath @ SFMM's first drop. The feeling of air rushing into your face and falling down into a hole is awesome. ---Brent
Jon Sabo Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Weren't we suppose to pick just one of each?.lol Wood: Defunct Hurcules @ Dorney (old fashioned I guess...but the view over the lake) Steel: AC@BGE

NoahTheBoa Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Wood: Colossus @ SFMM Steel: Goliath @ SFMM and also X Other: Drop Zone @ PGA
pete4winds Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Wood: Wildcat at Hersheypark, first drop, in the last car (either row, either side) - I find that floating down the hill an inch or so AFTER the seat is way too cool not to mention. Steel: Also Hersheypark, Great Bear coming OUT of the vertical loop - diving down into the trench just rocks!
Beate's Freak Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Superan:Krypton Coaster, right side nearly hits the cliff!
jamesdillaman Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I like Thunderhead's first drop, so twisted... (And, as much as it [literally] pains me, Son of Beast has a good first drop) Steel, I still like Vortex @PKI in the back car and of course the obvious (MF backseat) -James Vortex @ PKI
Darien Laker Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Steel: One of the mirror S:ROS's probably. SFDL's at day time (flying into the water) and SFA's at night (No lights engulfing the lifthill-pitch black!) Wood: Either Roar at SFA or the Hershey Comet, but it's been a real long time on the second one.

rollermonkey Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Hmmm, I've been thinkin' 'bout this one for a fair bit, and here's what I came up with: First time I rode T-Bolt at Kennywood, I was a single rider and I got shunted into the back row. It was really crowded and I didn't have a moment to look around. The first drop caught me more than a little bit by surprise! A real moment if ever I had one! Jack Rabbit's double down also hit this list in my mind. Looking straight down into the spiral for that one moment on Dragster. The first drop on Thunder Run at 6FKK. "Why's there a turn at the bottom!?!" S:RoS at Darien Lake after dark when the fog is thick: Where's the bottom? Desperado: We're going into that tiny hole, way down there?
Billy Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 the second drop onto the river on Big Bad Wolf in the back row is the most insane drop moment for me so far. The swinging, speed and slight airtime make for a visual and forceful mess. love it!
coasterguy4 Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 scream. That drop is crazy. You twist to the side randomly it completly utterly rules!
boothy Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Wood: Cyclops @ Mt. Olympus. For those who haven't been on it. You REALLY need to. Steel: Raging Bull, obviously in the back row. Ohhhhhhh, those clamshell restraints.
kennywood!007 Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Here are my picks! Wood: Jack Rabbit's Double Dip Steel: Phantom's Revenge 2nd drop over the cliff through th eThunderbolt! Awsomeness! Other: PKD's Drop Zone...
08stien Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Raptor in the back right seat is tough to beat. This drop can only be described as a "Roller-Gasm" Begin "Roller-Gasm" now
mummyjohn Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 I'd have to say that GhostRider's drop gets me every time. One time my friend Stewart, who was sitting in the next car in front of me (I was in the last seat of the train), said as we topped the second hill, "Well...that was a bit steeper than I thought..." For steel, I don't now if Superman the escape at Magic Mountain qualifies, because it happens backwards, but it's still soooo cool...I mean 6.5+ seconds of ZERO gravity! Well if not that, then It's a bit of a tie between Goliath and X. X looks almost vertical, even though it's only '88.5' or some such thing. I rode that in the front front seat, staring straight down at the ground in the front of a 5 ton train...fun stuff. But Goliath is just so freaking HUGE, that I can't help but not mention that. By the time you're at the bottom of that first hill, you're going so fast that it feels like your hands would be lopped off by that tunnel.
DancingDays Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 Wood: These are my favorites drops, no doubt. -Raven 5th drop: Definitely one of the best....and you go into that insane right-hander at the bottom... -Cornball first drop: This is so perfect...the air is insane and the lats, as well, in the back -Cornball lakeside (3rd drop I think): awesome air, great headchoppers -Cyclops huge drop: WOW. Not as purely perfect, but just straight intense air. Steel -Millennium Force 1st drop: So long and just awesomely perfect air -Raging Bull 1st drop: finally, trims serve a purpose...that little straight section makes the air so much more sudden and intense...most "wood-like" air on a steelie I've ridden
