PKI Jizzman Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 EGF is not a hyper, I believe it is about 150ft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaptorBoyASU Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Well, how many hypers are there then if we're not counting jr. hypers? I mean that throws out Goliath too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Well since a hypercoaster is a coaster with a height between 200-299 feet, there are only 3 hypers in Europe: Silver Star Pepsi Maxi Big One Stealth Not much choice, but I choose Silver Star because the Big One is old and apparentely without airtime and Stealt is 'just' a launched coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCfanatic Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 EGF is not a hyper, I believe it is about 150ft? I think by saying hyper coaster we should not look at the height but at the type of coaster, sure EGF and Goliath aren't 200ft high but they're coasters mainly consisting out of airtime hills and turns, so basically they're hyper coasters without the height, or a "mini hyper" as some like to call it. (Mini) Hypers in Europe: Expedition GeForce, Goliath, Pepsi Max Big One, Silver Star. The best one would probarly be EGF, i've only ridden Goliath and it was great so EGF is probarly like heaven! Silver Star is probarly second or third best, and PMBO gets last place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Yeah, let's say for ease sake... Hypers in Europe: Expedition Ge Force Goliath Silver Star PMBO Hmm, that's pretty much my order of how I like them too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 PMBO sooo has more airtime than EGF!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteornotes Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 EGF is not only the best hyper in Europe, but the single greatest coaster experience ever. After that, I'd go with Goliath, Silver Star, and PMBO, though the last one ranks far, far below the other three. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 From looks, Expedition Ge Force hands down. Goliath at WW looks simply amazing! Silver Star looks like a good B&M, nice tall airtime hills PMBO.....meh....looks like a big slow mine train But nonetheless, good coasters!!!

gieljan Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Best hypercoaster ever build: 1. EXPEDITION GEFORCE:amazing first drop, everywhere airtime after that coaster my ranks of hypers I did is: 2. Goliath: especially in the front row there's amazing airtime on the camelback and the bunny hups 3. Silver Star I also like silver star, it haven't so much airtime like the other two, it's more like floater time. But still a funny hyper to do especially when your on the front seat at 9.houre in the morning and there's everywhere fog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaptorBoyASU Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I've only been on Goliath, but it's as good as Superman at SFNE in my opinion, even if it's a bit shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 If I ever went to Europe, I would seek out the hypers of Europe/UK in this order: 1. Expedition Ge Force 2. Goliath 3. Silver Star 4. Pepsi Max Big One If they built an Expedition Ge Force quality hyper in Australia I'd never leave the country, in fact, I'd probably move to where ever it is, if it's not Sydney.

After that, I'd go with Goliath, Silver Star, and PMBO, though the last one ranks far, far below the other three. dt By definition a hyper is as a coaster that is either over 200 feet tall or has a drop of 200, try as you like EGF is not a hyper and shouldn't be in this contest, if we where counting costers that are nearly hypers then why isn't colossus in the line up.

coaster05 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 ^ Yeah, let's say for ease sake... Hypers in Europe: Expedition Ge Force Goliath Silver Star PMBO Hmm, that's pretty much my order of how I like them too! Owen try reading all of the posts before answering. Elissa was trying to make this a more valid question since Europe has almost no hypers and PMBO sucks no matter the height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hey Owen, Your definition also doesn't work as that would mean that Alpengeist is a Hyper, SoB is a hyper, TTD is a hyper, etc. Intamin classifies EGF the same as it classifies it's other 'hyper' coasters, so we're going with that...thanks!

redfoot12 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Elissa--you're really not much of a fan of B&M hypers, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 LOL...um, well, I used to *LOVE* Raging Bull until SFGAm killed it with like 78 trims! Never really cared for Apollo or SFoG's Goliath...Nitro is cool, Silver Star seems to have actually improved over the years so...B&M Hypers are okay, but to me it's all about the Intamin's!

DerekRx Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 And technically, Arrow/CP coined the term hypercoaster. Therefore, the only hypers would be Arrow manufactured, as Intamin and B&M call theirs Mega coasters, meaning this entire thread is pointless, as PMBO is the ONLY hyper coaster in all of Europe. Classifying nonlooping steel coasters with many hills though as hypers, I would rank them the same as Elissa and many others, Expedition GeForce being way above every other one, Pepsi Max sleeping on the bottom bunk all the time, with Goliath really good and Silver Star just meh, but still more worthwhile than PM.

Where is this official definition being quoted from? I've never seen it! Whatever. Elissa's list is correct. I doubt many people would argue with it, and if they did, I can choose to ignore them! --Robb "Try as your like...LMAO! You're funny dude!"
