grsupercity Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 The launch on Mavericks lift over that beyond vertical drop, gets me every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 My most intense coaster moment was when I went on Millennium Force for the very first time. I remember the first drop... then the overbanked turn... then I regained consciousness just before the final tunnel. It might have had something to do with our Canadian tailgate party in the parking lot hours prior Millennium Force pulls a ton of G's at the bottom of the first drop. Not many people talk about it but it causes me to grey out every single time I ride it in the section between the first drop and start of the overbank. I still wouldn't put that anywhere near the most intense coaster moment though. I immediately think of I305's ground hugging turn after the drop, Skyrush's turn out of the drop or basically everything Maverick does. I don't know if it's overly intense in terms of G forces but Maverick's second to last hill and turn is just... I don't even know. It's like it's just trying to dump everyone out of the train, I love that ride. Kingda Ka is up there too in the front seat. My ears always pop on the way up the tower and for a few seconds it's actually hard to breathe just because of the amazing rush of wind. I'm not sure where it ranks in terms of G forces but it's an amazing experience in that seat... the same can be said for Dragster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I had a 6-flip ride on Insane a few years ago, that's probably the most intense coaster moment of my life. Otherwise I would say Vertigo aka "Plane on a stick". I had a couple of grey out on that ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Top of Dondonpa's spike. The airtime in the back row of the train is insane... twice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 El Toro's first drop and crossover hill in the last car Kingda Ka and Dragtser's launch Millennium Force's first drop Intimidator 305's first drop and turnaround Nitro's helix Raptor's helix Batman clones inversions and tight turns And... Maverick's track circuit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I'll add furius baco's heartline roll. The speed, the proximity to the ground and even the roughness make it pretty intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Definitely the entirety of Maelstrom. I mean, it had to have been VERY intense and greyed me out something fierce. I couldn't see a damn thing the entire ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreaminNewEngland Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 The over bank turn and the whole entire spagetti bowl on Bizarro at SFNE is AMAZING. Goliath SFNE basically all of it Nitro's Helix El Toro's over bank turns and drop Kingda Ka's launch Batman the ride clone's corkscrews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AusCoasterFan Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Most appear to be on inverted coasters: Silver Bullet - Final Helix Batman The Ride (SFMM) - Helix after second loop Nemesis - First wingover Other good intense moments: Goliath (SFMM) - Greyout helix Desperado - Intense airtime at the top and intense Gs at the bottom of each camel-back Tatsu - Pretzel loop Ninja (SFMM) - The tight turn over the pond by Jet Stream By far the most intense (but also the worst!)

rcjp Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Indiana Jones' loop at Disneyland Paris is extremely fast and forceful. Definitely the best part of the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Kingda Ka's launch, especially in the front seat Xcelerator's launch Any B&M flyer pretzel loop SkyRush (most of that ride) Cyclone's first drop (Coney Island) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonGeorge Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 The Top Thrill Dragster launch. Having only seeing front seat POVs on Youtube, I didn't know about the stadium seats. So stupid me craned about the train finding the countdown lights. After eventually putting my head back, the launch was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Dodonpa's launch and the top hat. The vertical trim brake is also the craziest I've experienced. Edited July 4, 2015 by gerstlaueringvar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Kingda Ka launch I'll add back car of El Toro on the first drop and all of Skyrush. Oh this thread! I can add more now: Phantoms Revenge 2nd drop and the turn that follows Dragster launch Millenniums pull out of the drop Mavericks turns after the drop and launch out of the tunnel Raptors final helix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Hero Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 -Kingda Ka's launch. I've been on it tons of times but it never, ever gets old. -That airtime hill on El Toro right before the twister section. The most airtime I've ever experienced is on that hill. It just has SO MUCH ejector it feels like if you weren't in a lapbar you'd fly all the way to the Golden Kingdom -Intimidator 305's first drop and turn. Don't need to say much about this one. Most intense sustained g's I've ever been through, and like most I blacked out completely -Fahrenheit's drop. It's not that high, but it was my first (and only) beyond vertical drop and it was really great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uriel Galindo Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Le Vampire at La Ronde on that helix after the second loop. It feels like your legs are going to fall off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF15 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Just a few intense moments that I find particularly memorable: -Top Thrill Dragster's launch. -The pretzel loops on Manta and S:UF. -Millennium Force's first drop. -Goliath's (SFGAm) first drop. -Maverick's first ejector airhill. -Banshee's final helix.

BugEyed Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Tatsu's Pretzel loop caught me mid-swallow. For a split second I thought I was going to choke on my own tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'm not sure I can remember the most intense, but a few moments comes to mind: - The launch on Stealth. - 9 flipping ride on Insane. - First ride on a megalite. - Hang Over the first time (Vekoma Invertigo), I was only 10 at the time and it was my first big coaster. Honorable, non-coaster, mention is plane on a stick at Tivoli! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Millennium Force's first drop and over bank. I greyed out every time I rode it my past trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 -Intimidator 305: From start to finish. -Kumba: The Zero-G and Cobra Roll are pretty forceful. -Montu: The Batwing element. -Skyrush: First drop in the last row has to be one of the craziest moments on any roller coaster. Great airtime hills as well. -Manta (SWO): Pretzel Loop -Dragon Challenge (Chinese Fireball): Wraparound Immelmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
