U2Rox Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Fpr me: Dragster MF Shiekra Big Shot-Vegas Stratoshpere Tower All Amazing Rides!!!
brossa Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Of all coasters I know I would say Goliath at Walibi World. I just love it.
DBru Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I will be riding Fahrenheit within the next 12 hours, so I have a feeling my opinion may change...
KrautWithAltitude Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Expedition Geforce for me. Last row to the left. The beginning of this drop makes me feel like I´ll have to die NOW. Doesn´t get any better, imo.
Voyage_luvr Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I think Intamin drop towers give the most shocking drops. Ecspecially since you usually never know when you are going to drop. Some S&S towers give some good negative-g's too!
gk Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Arrow Shuttle Loops, going backwards over the drop. I used to dread that part on KI's Demon. I'll concur with Intamin first gen freefalls, too. I think it's the claustrophobia of being enclosed in the car that makes them seem scarier than other newer freefall rides.
AstroDan Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Detonator, at Thorpe Park. Oblivion, at Alton Towers. Apocalypse, at Drayton Manor.
FeelTheFORCE Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 1) Drop Zone/Tower at Kings Island Tied for 2 & 3) The drop towers at Waldameer and Silverwood. They are the same, I just don't know the make and model. 4) Big Shot on top of the Stratosphere. 5) Pitt Fall at Kennywood.
silvercrew1 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 ^Drop Zone (that's what it was when I last rode it) does have a really good drop. However, El Toro's drop wins my vote. I rode that beast 10 times in a row last trip in a bunch of different rows and in everyone it was amazing. Plus when you get to the bottom everybody ducks and I hold my hands up high. I love that coaster.
Footballteen58 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Kings Dominions Drop Zone Tower Scream Stunt gave me that awesome free fall feeling for a crazy long time. On a coaster I'd have to say Griffon, Mystery Mine, Millie, and AC.
thrillrideseeker Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I must say that the night after S&S reprogramed the Blue/Green side of Power Tower at Cedar Point it is now my all time favorite Drop EVER!! ~Matthew
HHN Dylan Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I just went on Tower of Terror at WDW, and i thought it was great really. Even though theres no airtime >.< But the drop is still great.
dragonskeep Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Does the Orlando Skycoaster count? That thing is wicked
HHN Dylan Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 ^ Do you mean the slingshot? If you mean skycoaster I've never heard of that
andyuk200523 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I am glad to see a few other people have mention Hurakan Condor, it still scares the crud outta me! Tower rides are my only real "thrill" remaining as I still get the good shot of Adrenaline afterwards (Fear of unsafe heights (sitting on a tiny chair 330ft in the air I class as semi-unsafe) And it took me 3 days to pluck up the courage to ride it (and that was on my own, the other half doesn't touch drop towers at all!) After riding it, I was straight back in line for another Adrenaline shot, love it!!!! Found the seated version better, less painful at the end Andrew "Love Drop Towers" Shakespeare
andyuk200523 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 ^ Do you mean the slingshot? If you mean skycoaster I've never heard of that Check out their website, this should help you http://www.skycoaster.cc/
HHN Dylan Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 ^ Woah, I had never even heard of that. It is in Kissime, I was only thinking direct orlando. Thanks a lot for that.
Kalepi_Konei Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I know this sounds like crap and every thing, but I think that Dr. Doom at IOA, gives some pretty good airtime, I just LOVE the thrilling pop of air at the top, and the launch gets me every time.
ihani Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 What about Blue Fall? Never been on it though, but it looks great.
dragonskeep Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 ^ Woah, I had never even heard of that. It is in Kissime, I was only thinking direct orlando. Thanks a lot for that. Check it out if you get the chance. It will shake you to the core.
thrillgeek Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 I know this sounds like crap and every thing, but I think that Dr. Doom at IOA, gives some pretty good airtime, I just LOVE the thrilling pop of air at the top, and the launch gets me every time. Dude, I completely agree with you. Dr. Doom was intense! That launch scared the SH** out of me and then the air time coming back down was indescribable! I also love the 1st generation drop towers but I think Dr. Doom takes the cake in my book.
