thecoasterkid Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 It's been a few years since I've ridden the Ghoster Coaster at PCW (about 2-3 maybe) but last time I did the track was the same as always. It's still an ACE classic coaster too! I would have to put it in as my vote for favourite kiddie coaster. I'm looking forward to expanding my kiddie coaster repetoire on the Mid-West trip in August.

downunder Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Even though I had to practically dislocate a hip to get on it, I thought Timberline Twister was kind of cute. I don't if Flying Unicorn at IOA counts as a kiddie. Has anyone who is "ineligible" ever managed to get on Goliath Jr (I know I certainly have tried)?

pgathriller Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 You all may think Im weird but I enjoy riding the Cobra Coasters from Wisdom. I haven't been on many kiddie coasters but there is a amusement center down here in El Paso with a Cobra Coaster and I enjoy it. I like the versions with all the spirals, not the basic lift and drop models. EDIT: I almost forgot to add the 2 kiddie coasters at PGA. Runaway Reptar or whatever it's called and the Taxi Jam. I thought those were pretty cool. Even though Runaway Reptar was cramped and kinda intense. But great ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 This is soooo easy for me. That is because I LOVE this kiddie coaster: http://www.rcdb.com/ig265.htm?picture=4 http://www.rcdb.com/ig265.htm?picture=3 http://www.rcdb.com/ig265.htm?picture=2 Road Runner Express at SFFT is definitely my favorite kiddie coaster of all time! It's got great theming, a great setting (In a quarry), and it is just an awesome ride with some good forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Fairly Odd Coaster at PKI! I loved that thing, re-rode it a few times even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Most of the coasters in this thread aren't even kiddy coasters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 High Speed Thrill Coaster at Knoebels. I've heard rumors that this coaster was rougher than the Phoenix and Twister. Later I found out that it was false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 ^^Yeah, I was about to say that I would hardly classify a mine train as a kiddy (though RoadRunner IS my favorite mine coaster...) That being said, I think my favorite TRUE kiddy coaster is Little Dipper at Camden Park (aka Paddle Boats). I would say the Jr. SLC's, but I count those as more of a family ride.

edboxer Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 The best kiddie coaster was the baby Wildcat at Idora Park (now defunct). It was a woodie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edboxer Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Oh, and yes those are kiddie sized Flyers to the left of the baby Wildcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Definately Little Titans at Mt. Olympus. Those last several small hills get pretty crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satoshi Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 i think ridin' on kiddie coasters are kinda good for us since they sometimes gotta be one of the credit when stayin' at these parks like SFMM or something like CP! the more you love coasters, the more you also love kiddie one! don't you guess they're real pure fun?! well when i run into those at the park i do admit they're for gettin' credit!

CommanderLock Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 ^AYE! Anyways, probably the Woodstock's Express at CP. All about the on-ride photo! Best. On. Ride. Photo. Ever. Or maybe this kiddie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousAphid Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Here's something fun to revive! The best I have been on is probably just the one at my home park, which is powered anyway. I guess I actually haven't been on a true kiddie coaster... yet. I'm curious if there are any new ones that could hold the coveted "best kiddie coaster ever" title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 The one we have at our park, the Kettle Creek Mine coaster, is really the ONLY ride in Playland, with a LOT of trees around it, lol! It's basically a figure 8 in layout, but the first drop packs as nice a punch (kid-size) as to those on the bigger coaster, here. Does two circuits, and everybody seems happy, including adults who can ride on their own if they wish to. Not a lot of theming around it, but what's there is good! Taken during the 2015 PNE.

ytterbiumanalyst Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I thought Diamond Mine Run at Magic Springs was really good. It had better theming than most kiddie coasters, was quite smooth, and the first drop had some kick for being so small. We rode it more than any of the big coasters, though to be fair, it was also because it had the only decent ride op in the whole park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Married a Canadian Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Nice thread. My choices aren't based on what I think, but which coasters my son has enjoyed the most (and wanted to ride again and again and again and again). Air Grover at Busch Gardens Tampa Woody Woodpecker Universal Studios Road Runner at SFMM Thunder Run at Canada's Wonderland Backlot Stunt Coaster, Canada's Wonderland We are talking for a 7 year old here. I am happy he likes the Stunt Coaster because it is quite good fun and the "launch" at the start is quite quick be it for adult or child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I don't know that if count those last 2 as kiddy coasters but I agree that they're both very good. Anyway... Rest in Peace High Speed Thrill Coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Coleman Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I thought freeway coaster at adventure city was pretty good. If it counts, I also liked rewind racers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
