Favorite Morgan hyper

[MisterP]

Mine is Steel Force. I left Phantom's Revenge off because of the Arrow dimension.

[Swoosh]

I think of all of the "state-side" Morgans, that Mamba is the best of the bunch. I have ridden all of the ones in the states and honestly it is the only one that maintains its speed through the course. The second hill and head-chopper helix are the elements that make MAMBA the best of the bunch.

[Little Coaster Girl]

STEEL FORCE all the way, none can compare.

I've only been on Mamba, and it brakes really hard on the MCBR. It was pretty fun though.

Is magnum a Morgan Hyper?

Steel Dragon 2000...

 

Duh!

[MisterP]

Is magnum a Morgan Hyper?

 

No, its Arrow. (But I actually considered including it in this list!)

[Jonathan]

After riding Steel Force, Mamba was incredibly disappointing to me. There was no air to speak of. Not that there is much on Steel Force, but there is some.

[Swoosh]

^O RLY? What Mamba were you riding? Your butt isn't in the seat until you get to the bottom of the first and second hills. That isn't air time? And it EJECTS you out of your seat on the second hill. It is also a lot faster going through the helix whereas Steel Force sort of meanders through its.

I going with Steel Force even though that's the only one I've ridden. This year it is running a lot faster than it has been in previous years. Also the mcbr has been on light this year which has been resulting in pretty strong air over the bunny hills.

Where's Phantom's Revenge? That's like 90% Morgan...everything except the first drop. That one is my favorite.

[Swoosh]

^First two hills and station track are Arrow. The track switches on the second drop into Morgan. I'm not sure you can call that 90% -- more like maybe 75% or so.

 

I do agree that it is probably my favorite hyper that Morgan had a hand in building

[DCody]

I have to reprezizzle for the Midwest-- Wild Thing all the way! Hooray for the floater hill.

 

It never ceases to make me giggle that there's an accompanying kiddie coaster called "Mild Thing." C'mon, you can't just come out and TELL children that it sucks!

[MisterP]

I already explained that I decided to include only "pure" Morgans on the list. I do agree Phantom's Revenge would easily have won if I had included it. Hell, I would have voted for it!

[Scaparri]

I have to go with Phantom's Revenge. I still feel it should be a part of this, not only because a huge majority of the ride is Morgan, but also because it's the second half of the ride that really takes it from 'great' to 'awesome'. Airtime is just out of hand.

[robbalvey]

I went ahead and added Phantom's Revenge, because, IMO, they ride is far more in spirit a Morgan now than it is an arrow.

 

I believe that if the ride had been designed from the ground up today, the first couple of elements would probably still be very similar.

 

And, Kennywood could have easily gone back to Arrow for the re-design, but they didn't.

 

So I kind of felt it should be added to the poll.

I was going to add Phantom's Revenge originally, but I though people would be saying the opposite - that it should be excluded because is wasn't completely Morgan.

 

But I'm cool with adding it (although my vote is now wrong)

[kewlcoasterdude]

What is Desperado? Arrow?

[FeelTheFORCE]

^ Yes. And thanks Robb.

I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but, I think know what part is Morgan and what is Arrow, being that it is my home park after all. I was just generalizing above.

[kewlcoasterdude]

I thought this poll was for 100% Morgan only coasters? What is the deal?

[Little Coaster Girl]

It is also a lot faster going through the helix whereas Steel Force sort of meanders through its.

How many times have you road Steel Force ? It DONT meander through anything, especially its helix.

Actually, my butt was most definitely IN the seat. Clearly it was running better on the day you were there than when I was.

Just read what Rob said he's totally right, Morgan came in and made this ride absolutely amazing, enough said, although Steel Force is a close 2nd for me

[Arez55]

I voted for Wild Thing. That first air hill is just amazing. Despite what others may say about it, I love it.

Wild Thing was better than Steel Force, But Phantom's Revenge was better than Wild Thing. PHANTOM'S REVENGE PWNS ALL!!!(Morgans, that is.)
