Coolest station you've seen

Manta gets my vote.

I really like the station for The Beast, especially at night. The signs in the station are awesome and the whole abandonded shack feeling goes with the ride.

Windjammer. You have to admit - despite being a crappy coaster, the station was very good looking. The promise of shade in the queue is what actually got me to ride it after being out on the uncovered Cedar Fair concrete on an overly hot day.

1. Dueling Dragons

2. Riddler's Revenge - a very odd station

3. The Time Machine - with all the curved framing.

Dueling Dragons station and queline looks awesome !!

[cinciDAWGS12]

The Beast's station will always be one of my favorites. You gotta love the old rustic shack feel to it.

 

Also, I've always liked Maverick's station. I love the western theme to it.

Expedition Everest, Space Mountain DLR, Big Thunder Mountain WDW/DLR

Those are all sexy

[KnottsDisneyFarm]

I really like Indiana Jones (DLA). One of the bamboo poles inside the pyramid is actually rubber and can bend if you move it. I totally love scaring the living crap out of people who don't know it's supposed to be like that. A dad started to yell at me that I was vandalizing or something (I forget exactly what he said). Priceless!

1- Journey to the Center of the Earth(DisneySea)

Easily the best and most heavily themed queue and station.

2- Dueling Dragons(IOA) & Tower of Terror(DisneySea)

 

3- Expedition Everest(WDW)

 

Worthy mentions: Revenge of the Mummy(USO), Indiana Jones Adventure(DisneySea)

I agree with Knott's Disney Farm in that Indiana Jones Adventure has a great loading area. Show-wise this particular area is called the Motor Pool, the entry to the Hall of Promise and the Chamber of Destiny. The theming is wall to wall and the flickering lights and roars of the engines really sets the mood for the ride ahead. I'm so looking forward to my shifts there next week. After 2 years of working at Indy the mood of the ride really makes me love working there. Working at Thunder can be quite hot at times so the AC is also nice at Indy.

Flight of Fear's Station is awesome, but a bit weird as well.

[KnottsDisneyFarm]

^^

I forgot to mention the dimming lights. That is also great. I remember standing in one part of the line when it broke down and just taking in all the wonderful theming and wall paintings and vines and stuff. Great job on Indy DLA!

Giant Dipper--I love the classic feel.

X2--Something about it just helps me get excited for the ride. It resembles an airplane hangar, which is probably the basis for why I like it so much. Airplanes rock, after all!

"Is everybody in? ... Is everybody in?" (I actually love hearing that!)

Batman: The Ride--It's dark and kind of enclosed. Somehow that's appealing to me. I just hope the Batfan is never on when I'm around.

I love Hydras station its so open and the control booth is very sleek and after work a coaster i wish more control booths had the wrap around window so there are no posts obstructing you view heres a photo to show you what I'm talking about.

Working Maverick those post do get in the way

[tiger01]

Apart from RoTM as seen above, 2 of my favourites from little ol' England are; (Sorry for the poor pictures, will get some better ones on my next trips)

 

Vampire

 

Thirteen

 

 

Also noteworthy mentions are Nemesis and Dragon Falls stations.

[WildStangAlex]

Just thought about this one...Batman the Ride at SFGAm.

[thrillrider]

My vote goes to the corkscrew at Michigans adventure.

My vote goes to the corkscrew at Michigans adventure.

 

Damn you beat me to it! SAVE THE STATION!!!

[darkon]

I really like the stations of Black Mamba (Phantasialand) for the show, vliegende Holländer (Efetling) (but not the ride itself...) for the great theming and Mammut (Tripsdrill) for the nice museum.

[XYZ]

Just revived a DEAD thread.

 

I like the station in Flight Deck @ CGA since it is outdoors and the "station fly-by" turn goes right near the station. Also, when you're on the ride, look to the right on that turn before the corkscrew and it seems that you're flying by the station.

[cal1br3tto]

I absolutely love the queue and station buildings for Lightning Racer. They have such a beautiful classic feel with arches, cupolas and other thoughtful details.

 

I like stations of any age with old-school elements like latticework, carnival lights or interesting design or architecture. Some of the "futuristic" stations are attractive as well.

[Skycoastin Steve]

Untamed's station is awesome!

[JJ728]

This post is a shrine to the best station ever created.

 

Listen to this song as you look at the pictures:

Confused GP's try to navigate the odd shaped station and figure out what row they're in. Believe me, it's actually very difficult... Photo from Flickr.
