viking86 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Liliputbahn @ Prater Park, Vienna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Busch Gardens Europe has a beautiful, long train ride through the woods giving awesome views of all their coasters. On the same level is BGA's, which offers viewing of their animals, and unlike Animal Kingdom's train, actually takes you to important areas of the park.

Rollerholden Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I think I have to go with Disneyland's train on this because all the others sucked! Well...I guess I've only been on 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingScooter Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I'd say DollyWoods train is the best i've been on. It's a full-sized authentic steam train that snakes thru the woods and park. It being in the Smokey's makes for a nice view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USRoadTripper Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Disneyland! Definitely! Worst in my opinion was Dollywood's. Ugh. Boring. -Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Disney's or Dollywood's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmoofy Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 The Pioneer Train at Knoebels. There's better trains than this one, but I love how it takes you out into the woods, away from the hustle of the park, plus right through Twister's supports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlord694 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Silver Dollar City's is the best I've been on. The train robbers are fun and go off script alot and joke with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AznShortBoi8021 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 My favorite train ride? I'm not sure what park my favorite train is in. Just kidding. My favorite train is one that at Walt Disney World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberBeavis Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Knott's Berry Farm - except for when the robbers don't seem to care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okinawaboy11 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Uhm well, I've only been on SFA's, SFGAm's, and CP's. I'm going to say tie between SFGAm's and CP's. SFA's is just rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I'm not sure if this counts, but for whats its worth, the train ride at Roaring Camp through the redwwod forest to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is easily the best train ride A cool REAL steam train at Roaring Camp They use modern desiel trains for the trip to the boardwalk, damn reliability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 The one at Europa Park is really fun. It's relaxing and it has some cool tunnels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper2 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Dollywood has a good train ride. SFOG had a good train ride until 2003. Prior to that the train was an actual steam train that ran around the perimeter of the park. Not as good anymore since the train is a diesel.

texasgiantrules Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I think Disneyland is the best I've been on because of the cool little dioramas. I also liked the train at the Santa Barbara Zoo because I seem to remember you getting an ocean view and seeing all the animals. I forget where, but I've gotten some airtime on a train before.

scruffy Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 When I was little I would have tould you the Kings Island Railroad that had train robbers. Also I loved the Cincinnati Zoo Train one of the only rides left from when they had a theme park at the Zoo. The best train ride that I have been was the Disneyland railroad.

Holtskee Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Definitely Dollywood. They have full-size steam locomotives...no dinky little engines there. Plus, the train climbs a very steep grade...wonderful for any railfan! Too bad they discontinued the "robbery"/gunfight show a few years back. Busch Gardens Europe's train ride is nice as well. It snakes through the park's beautiful scenery, and has the two high bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Im gonna have to go with SFFT's. I haven't been since they still had Joker's Jinx, but the train still went through Rattler and the query Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calaway Park Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 The Galaxyland Express is awesome! You go through space themed tunnels and all over the whole park. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete4winds Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I'm partial to Hershey's Dry Gulch Railroad, but I've also always been big fan of Edaville Railroad. For those of you not familiar with it, it's an entire park in Carver, MA built around a narrow gauge (not necessarily miniature) train, albeit mainly geared toward families. No coasters, but still a great way to kill an afternoon, especially if you're into trains or train history. Plus, they have a few classic flats and a decent antique car museum.

ECZenith Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I go to Edaville every year in the holiday season and the train ride is always awesome. The light displays they put out in the winter are awesome too. Not to mention they have Whalom's tumble bug, not built yet but waiting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
