Coasters 4 ever Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 What coaster that's new for '05 are you most excited about? For me it's Hydra since, *sniff* sadly *sniff*, that's the only one I'm going on. But, it looks like a great ride so it's not THAT bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Kanonen  Followed by...ugh, I don't even know! Oh, I guess Hades...it has a chance!  Elissa "not interested in much" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What Now Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Rita... becasue I actually have a chance at riding that one this year. Â However, I'd really like to ride Hades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I will most likely be riding SheiKra in June. I may make a trip towards the Dells in Late July. In August I am hitting Dorney for Hydra. Out of the three of them I would probably want to do SheiKra the most, since I haven't been over the pond to ride Oblivion yet. Hades comes in second and Hydra in third (since I have ridden a floorless before.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I'm looking forward to SheiKra the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuakerOaties Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Kingda Ka since its probably the only new roller coaster I'll be riding this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I'd have to say SheiKra, it's just going to have so many firsts. It looks like the perfect coaster. Too bad I won't be riding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezus Juice Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I'm excited about pretty much all the new coasters this year. Even Mr. Six looks fun (reguardless of the fact that I've already ridden it in two places already)  Dons Top 5 Picks for 05, in no particular order:  Sheikra Hydra Kingda Ka Hades and Rita  Though I'm easily most excited about Sheikra, perhaps because that's the one I'm hitting first, perhaps because I'm duck-stomp insane.  -J "who knows" J  Kannonen looks awesome though, have fun guys!

Rockman89 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Idealy, I am looking forward to Rita and Kanonen. More realistically, I'm looking forward to Hades. In reality, I'll probably end up staying in Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterlicious Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I really wana go on kingda ka, but when I go on dragster in may it probably wont be a big deal anymore.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Fan Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 New for 2005 coasters I will get to ride will be Hades, Hydra, Kingda Ka, IJST PKI, Chinese Express , Gold Rush Express, Little Dipper (WI moved from IL), Powder Keg, and Road Runner Express TGE..... And I went on Mr Six at SFNE last night... Â I would have to say Hades looks like its going to be the best coaster of 2005... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Homer's Top Five of Oh-Five (w00t, alliteration!) Â 5. RITA- Another knotch in Alton Towers' belt for providing unique rides under tough ordinances. Though short, it actually looks like a kick ass ride. Â 4. Kanonen- Can we say those geniuses down at Intamin design some kick ass rides? It oddly reminds me of old Schwarzkopf's, and of course, its small phallus . Â 3. Hydra- You know a coaster rocks when it has an inversion named after a pop star. Also, its twisted layout looks awesome as well. Â 2. Kingda Ka- Lets just say Intamin does it again, hopefully. This time, a phallus taller (not bigger) than Cedar Point's. Â 1. SheiKra- Another example of how coasters would rock for being named after pop stars. Of course, the great theming and how it would bring a much needed facelift to the Stanleyville area. Also, it is well designed and looks kick ass!

Movieguy Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Both Sheikra and Hydra look like they're gonna be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Force_4_ever Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Sheikra looks great. Hydra looks like fun. Hades looks awesome (I actually get to ride this one!) Rita looks insane. and um...Kingda Ka looks like TTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasters 4 ever Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 Why are you guys excited about Rita? I thought most of you like big rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Was Powder Keg, now that I've ridden it and love it, I'm looking forward to ShieKra and Hades, everything else seems kinda blah .. except the Europe ones, but I'm not planning on going there this year so I don't count those.

CoasterExpert13 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I'd have to say that the most anticipated roller Coaster of 2005 will be Hydra: The Revenge debuting at Dorney Park.....I must say the ride looks rather impressive...but this is B&M were talking about....their coasters are nothing short of GREAT!! Looking forward to riding the coaster in mid-July. Â Still awaiting for my home park Kennywood to get a new Roller coaster. When that will happened.....who knows?

viking86 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Im going to Liseberg in a month, so Im very excited about Kanonen. Im also going to Gardaland, but Im not really excited to ride the S&S Screamin Scquirrel. Im mostly annoyed actually because it destroys the great look of the vekomalooper.

Mind Eraser Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Dude, that really pissed me off. The Vekoma looper had such a beautiful setting, over the water and such. Were they that pressed for land that they had to shoehorn that stupid S&S INSIDE THE F**KING COASTER? Â Bah. Â Â -kip- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rock401 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Hades, for the reaosn being that it's the one of the bunch that I will be riding this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Well, right now I can only confirm that I will be riding Italian Job (PKI) and Hydra. I have prospects, but the only ones that are for sure are those two. So, Hydra easily takes it for me. I really hope it turns out to be an awesome ride. The prospects are Hades (quite likely), Skeikra (not so much), and Wild Mouse at Beech Bend (not so much likely). If those ended up happening, then I don't know. Hades looks awesome, Sheikra looks like it could be a pretty sweet ride, and I'm still really excited about Hydra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
