Dodonpa, always the king.

I really enjoyed Cheetah Hunt

I'm sorry, but it's sacrilege not to have Macerick on this this. I refuse to participate and put Maverick under other

 

 

But seriously

 

 

This poll is from 2005, two years before maverick opened.

 

Oops! Thanks for that. I didn't even catch the date of the post. I jus figured it was posted recently and didn't put it together that it may be an old post that was bumped up.

The one I liked the most is Fluch Von Novgorod. Seriously didn't expected how great it really is.

I haven't been on too many launched coasters, but I put down Storm Runner as it is a fantatstic ride. TTD is good too. Other noteworthy ones after 2005 that I have ridden are Maverick and Thunderbird

^How was the LSM launches compared to the Rocket coasters?

[alpengeist04]

My top 3 are as follows:

 

1. Maverick

2. Storm Runner

3. TTD

 

...With all 3 being in my top 15 steel.

I assume XLR8R is Xcelerator.

 

Hydraulic launches are always better than electromagnetic and Montezooma's Revenge is my favorite launched coaster, even over Xcelerator at the same park, which I also love. 0-55 in 4.5 seconds may be slower than the 0-82 in 2.3 seconds but the intensity of the actual takeoff is second to none.

I can't pick one, but some of my favorites are Full Throttle, Maverick, Top Thrill Dragster, and Xcelerator.

This question varries for me because there are elements on multiple launched coasters I enjoy. .

 

I Volcano, I love how surprising, and thrilling the blast comes. It doesn't have to stop for the launch, and yet the suspense is very intimidating.

 

I also really like Rock N' Rollercoaster, but as for the ride it feels quite similar to the Premier LIM coasters such as Flight of Fear/JokersJinx. But I like all of those.

 

The Mummy I think is the most fun I have on a launched coaster, that or Storm Runner. They're both just really fun, even though Storm Runner is real short. These are the ones I probably marathon the most.

 

I think my overall favourite is Cheetah Hunt only for the great balance between duration-time, and thrills. It's a long ride that is really fun, yet thrilling as well. Even if it's not too intense.

 

These are based on the ones I've ridden.

TTD by far. Nothing can beat that launch!
