dr.gumbo Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 We're alway taking about the bigger coasters, but what is the best little one I think this ones fun, a little intence and an okay airtime hill at the end, my brother loved it, and it only Three miles from were I'm sitting New rollercoaster (Im suprised no-ones made this post befor so if it exists or is just dumb, lock it)
FlyingScooter Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 This one's a killer for adults, but it's still fun. It is the oldest steel coaster still on its original site. Best ever!
Electerik Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Pteranodon Flyers is great fun...if you can get on it.
viking86 Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 It may be the size of a kiddie coaster, but this coaster beats the crap outta any B&M or Intamin Ive ever been on. The kids seems to love it aswell, even with its extremely high intensity level.
Mark Rosenzweig Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Knoebel's High Speed Thrill Coaster of Death sets the bar. All others draw inspiration. -Mark
ParkTrips Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 (edited) pretty freakin' obvious to me... Edited April 18, 2017 by ParkTrips
matteocrepaldi Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I used to love the coasters at Fibilandia (Italy). Also a good one is Pegasus at Europa Park!
ECZenith Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I agree with Elekterik, Pteranadon Flyers is great fun, lots of swinging and awesome surroundings.
niiicolaaah Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Teeny-weeny! I'm with you there, James!!! Knoebel's High Speed Thrill Coaster of Death sets the bar. All others draw inspiration. Can't wait to try that one out this weekend!
Erik Johnson Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 ^^ Just remember it counts as a half credit Niiico!
DPdragon Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 High Speed Thrill Coaster at Knoebels was good but I still think Dragon at Dorney Park is the best. It is powered but still has the feel of a non-powered kiddie ride plus insane lateral forces. Did anyone else notice that the height restiction to ride High Speed Thrill Coaster ALONE is 48" whereas it is only 42" for Phoenix and Twister???
Adriel Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Flounder's Flying Fish Coaster. The theming around the coaster is nice and the track itself is twisty with some sharp turns at the high speed, well not oo high but a bit high for kiddie coaster. How nice! Look at the pond!
Three Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I was gonna say SFOG's canyon blaster. It's bigger than most kiddie rides, and the first drop actually took me by surprise. But yeah, Pteranadon Flyers is pretty slick too.
RCfanatic Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I actually enjoy riding kiddie coasters at parks! My favorite: Oki Doki (The Clown Coaster) at Bobbejaanland! I must of rode it 3 times the day i took this picture!
mr_teisco_delrey Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Little Dipper at Kiddieland in Melrose Parl, Il . It's classic wood.
WillMontu Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Isn't it obvious? I never got to ride, but it's a ride to remember
IceDragon Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 so many to choose from... Might Mini Mega (Adventure Island) its physically impossible to sit in the seats but its one hell of a ride beacuse of it! has some great G's and airtime!!! The Barnstormer (Adventure Island) well, a little more comfortable with the exception of the Awkward Helixes. Green Scream (once again, Adventure Island) Nice airtime, speed and G's. seats are quite comfortable as well!! The Beastie (Alton Towers) one of the most painful roller coasters ive been on, and its actually quite scary!!! The Flying Fish (being re-built at Thorpe Park) Nice G's, quite fast. what more do you want??? The Clown Coaster (Chessington. well, its been demolished, but..) cant remember much except being scared of the massive drum... and i think thats it...
pkdcoaster Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Scooby Doo at PKD has always been my Fav. Great airtime in the back on the east side turnarounds. HM goes to High Speed Thrill coaster JEFF
texasgiantrules Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 i like gadget's go coaster because of the theming, and the kiddie coaster at bonfante gardens because because its probably the smoothest coaster ive ever been on
eddie200330 Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 I agree with Jeff, I grew up on Scooby Doo at KD. I believe in the last few years the final bunny hop was removed for a longer brake run?? At least the version at Carowinds was missing the hill. Only problem I have is at 6+ feet I have to ride alone spread eagle in order to fit in the trains lol!!!!!
Sean Menefee Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 I'm a fan of the Hi-Miler and it's crooked lift hill.
Calaway Park Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 My selection for this thread But only moreso [by the way, these are really old pics and the Intamin First Gen Freefall is now gone, and is replaced with an S&S double shot, and the front of the cars is different, there are also new rides there. Also the Mini-Hymmilaya thing was replaced by Sonic Storm- Much better ride, similar motions but more fun. It spins and moves up and down on arms, more capacity and overall better design.]
Ryan King Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 For me, It would have to be Treetops Coaster, In Oakwood! Treetops = AWESOME Sadly, is so far back, pictures are almost impossible -Ryan Pictures Taken By WillMontu Pictures Taken By WillMontu
pkdcoaster Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 I agree with Jeff, I grew up on Scooby Doo at KD. I believe in the last few years the final bunny hop was removed for a longer brake run?? At least the version at Carowinds was missing the hill. PKDs Scooby Doo is still the same as it has always been (except train mods) I think all the other Paramount Jr woodies had track modifications.
