SpectralN Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I know many people rate coasters on Air Time and negative or positive g's. I personally love the great big drops as my favorite element in a coaster. What coasters would you say have the best first drops? I do hope that someone like Robb or Elissa who have ridden almost every coaster in the world could chime in! Based on my narrow ride counts I would say I rate Mforce as my #1 for best first drop, followed by X, Goliath SFMM and MagnumXL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelmaker Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Oblivion was quite a nice experience . . . the same is for the goliath. But for me, the best european drop stay's the expedition G force, I don't like the rest of the coaster, but the first drop is marvellous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumboshrmp Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Of what I have been on (all of the major coasters in Florida, and a few others), Of course Sheikra comes in first, followed by Kraken. I'm not a huge fan of the curved drops, but Montu does it well so that makes my list: Sheikra Kraken Montu Also, Jurassic Park River Adventure has a really scary drop. Scarier than any flume ride I've ever been on, that's for sure. But that's not a coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbadboy Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Back row Medusa West. I just don't get anything out of curved drops. I like to feel floaty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 1. Millennium Force, front row - WOW. 2. Millennium Force, back row - Again, WOW. 3. Patriot, back row - Overly under-examined, IMO. This drop has everything a drop (great air, laterals, positives) should and even beats out most straight drops. 4. Hydra - Please don't hurt me for this. Hydra's first drop is insane air in the back row. 5. Top Thrill Dragster - Can't even describe how cool this feels in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haux Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 X Next question! Quoted for truth. In second, Millennium Force in the back seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What Now Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 X- The one good part of X, IMO, is the "Sky Dive". Oblivian- It's ALMOST NINTY DEGREES!!!! That drop has some nice airtime and you gotta love that view. Xcelerator- Looks like it's going to dump you right into the street! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastermaniac Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 It's a tie for me between Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster. Both have such great hills, I can't decide on which one is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytoremember Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I forgot about X. That first drop is really good. I will have to put that drop in my number three spot ahead of SROS(SFNE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
