Most Anticipated Coaster - New for 2005

[Coasters 4 ever]

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.

[SharkTums]

Kanonen

 

Followed by...ugh, I don't even know! Oh, I guess Hades...it has a chance!

[What Now]

Rita... becasue I actually have a chance at riding that one this year.

 

However, I'd really like to ride Hades.

[Guest]

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.)

[CoasterCrazy]

I'm looking forward to SheiKra the most.

[QuakerOaties]

Kingda Ka since its probably the only new roller coaster I'll be riding this summer.

[coasterdude5]

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.

[Jeezus Juice]

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.

Kannonen looks awesome though, have fun guys!

[Rockman89]

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.

[Coasterlicious]

I really wana go on kingda ka, but when I go on dragster in may it probably wont be a big deal anymore..

[Canobie Fan]

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...

 

I would have to say Hades looks like its going to be the best coaster of 2005...

[Homer]

Homer's Top Five of Oh-Five (w00t, alliteration!)

 

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.

 

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 .

 

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.

 

2. Kingda Ka- Lets just say Intamin does it again, hopefully. This time, a phallus taller (not bigger) than Cedar Point's.

 

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]

Both Sheikra and Hydra look like they're gonna be awesome.

[M_Force_4_ever]

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.

[Coasters 4 ever]

Why are you guys excited about Rita? I thought most of you like big rides.

[coaster1]

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.

[coasters 4 me]

[CoasterExpert13]

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.

 

Still awaiting for my home park Kennywood to get a new Roller coaster.

When that will happened.....who knows?

[viking86]

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.

[SharkTums]

^I couldn't believe how they wedged that thing in!

 

Elissa "I forgot about that ride!" Alvey

[Mind Eraser]

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?

 

Bah.

Hades, for the reaosn being that it's the one of the bunch that I will be riding this year.

[Scaparri]

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.
