Scaparri Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I thought USF's Mummy was cool and a good ride, but didn't meet the hype. I guess I had a little anticipointment. A dark coaster that gets little recognition that I thought was awesome is Runaway Mountain at SFOT. Seriously, that ride is pitch black, glass smooth, and has the crazy drop of doom.

ChrisFL Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I would have said the Mummy at USF but actually after being on the improved Space Mountain at DL I have to go with that one first...I love the new effects and it's very dark, plus the ending is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewelap Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 I can see why space mountain is a favorite (because well....its a classic) but i have been on both and i have been disaponted on both versions (WDW and DL) I mean WDW's is basically falling apart becuase its so old and DL's had way too many right turns. It was too predictable. Â Plus, FOF is a really great ride....but the one thing keeping it from my number one position is that half way during the ride you basically stop on the mid-way break section...and THEN you complete the rest of the ride. I have no idea why they do that! It's pointless! Â so revenge of the mummy florida takes the cake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 A dark coaster that gets little recognition that I thought was awesome is Runaway Mountain at SFOT. Seriously, that ride is pitch black, glass smooth, and has the crazy drop of doom. Â I totoally agree I LOVE that ride, it was a huge suprise! It is just so much fun, and I love the drop of doom! Â My list is as follows (in order): Â 1. Revenge of the Mummy (FL) Â 2. Runaway Mountain (SFOT) Â 3. TIE Revenge of the Mummy (Ca)/ Space Mountain (MK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKULLY Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Space Mountain De la terre à la lune may be gone but nothing yet has beat the experience when it was new. It was so damn beautiful, original, unique, everything. Stateside, I'm fond of any indoor coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okinawaboy11 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Am I the only one that likes FoF. Just because the themeing is a little...mediocre (Spelling?) doesn't mean the ride sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I love FoF (and all Premier LIM coasters for that matter) but I find it secondary to Disneyland's space mountain. SM's overall experience with the on-board soundtrack and new special effects make it more interesting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verticalzero Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 It was "Black Hole" at Alton Towers. Sadly this has closed: Â "Revolution" at Bobbejaanland is amazing: Description below for those who don't know: Â Â Trains: Single train with 30 cars. Riders are arranged inline in 2 rows for a total of 60 riders. Â Features: Inside of the building/hall there were two movie screens illuminated by 70mm projectors -- one on the ceiling and on the floor. The track circles around these screens. Sometime around the 2000 season, the screen on the floor was removed and replaced with lights. Then in 2003 the same was done to the ceiling lights were removed and again replaced with lights. Â On 6/17/2005 a new digitally remastered movie and projector was installed. Â X:NWO gets no vote from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Either Revenge of the Mummy, Chaos (at Opryland), or Blazing Fury at Dollywood. One of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riccoaster Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Its got to be The Runaway Mountain even though I havent been on many indoor coasters the Runaway Mountain's crazy drop gets me every time plus i've been on it with the lights on and that drop looks wicked for a dark ride.

bulldogmom Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Disaster Transport, Space Mountain. And I know it's powered, but I really liked this indoor mine-train type coaster at Canada's Wonderland called Thunder Run- don't know if it's even there anymore. In my opinion, take any ride, put it in the dark, and add sound effects and a light show and even the lamest ride can be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
