Janster Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Well, I would say that drop tower in Moviepark Germany. A floorless stand-up drop tower where passengers are slightly tilted forward. Â Runners up: Stunt Fall at Parque Warner Madrid, scream tower at Heide Park, left-back seat Expedition Geforce at Holiday Park and that midcourse psycho drop on Jetline at Grona Lund (a schwarzkopf oldie).

Billy Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Lets not forget back row on Skull Mountain at SFGADV! thats a "whoa" moment if there ever was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 El Toro at SFGAdv, at least before they neutered it by slowing down the lift. Getting flung over the edge at like 20mph scared the crap out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline_Rush Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I just remembered this ride, and youll be shocked to hear, its a water ride. Here in IOA we have Dudley Do Rights Ripsaw Falls, which creates the most gutwrenching feeling in your stomach. Now Im not saying its airtime, but its like floater air, anyways, you just feel like OMG I am going to fall out I have nothing to hang on to, OMG! And the hills after the drops that pop you right up (especially the big drop) are phenomanal, its the only water ride in the world that has ever given me a sensation of airtime. Â Oh and SheiKra, backrow, first drop...wait for it....wait for it...wait for iAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AIRTIME!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwantRevenge Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 El toro back row...BEFORE they slowed the lift hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b&mforever Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 El toro back row...BEFORE they slowed the lift hill  The only place the slowing of the lift effected was the drop in front seat. The lift never went 20mph its only like 5 mph slower now and in the back its just as strong. The rest of the rides the same except now the ending faster because the slowed speed allows it to take the first half smoother and not lose all its speed. That combined with the fact that its further broken in than before is why the ride is better this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youthink? Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Maverick in the back seat on that first drop was pretty gut-wrenching. Also Raging Bull in the back had some major ejector air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 For some reason I got that feeling on Ghostrider at KBF. I think it was because of the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxleRIDAH Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 ^ Good one. Didn't think of GhostRider. Â It feels like you're going to be ejected from the train and be thrown into the ceiling of that drop cover on the way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGA29 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 What about Roar at SFDK in the back? Twisty goodness! Â I also thought of Zonga/Texas Tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knottslover77 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 GhostRider(KBF)- The "drop" in the back seat. Â Mega Drop(oc)-crazy drop tower. Â Sheikra(BGA)-Back seat 200 foot drop what more do you need. Â Roar(SFDK)-Twisted butterflys. Â --Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConleyKE Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Demon Drop - It scares me every time! Top Thrill Dragster - It's the launch, not the drop. Twisted Twins - This thing still gets me in the back seat. Â Others use to give that stomach drop feeling like the first time I rode them but not really anymore, such as MF, Magnum, Tennessee Tornado, Raging Bull, and for some odd reason the Demon (all in the back seat of course).

mike541x Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 For me its Raging Bull in the back, Hades in the back,Superman:ROS SFA, and Drop Zone at KD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMountainMan Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 The free-fall sensation on Deja Vu was great! Also I think that Larson drop towers are just plain awesome... They go up really slow and then they just release. It's awesome! Â But I would really love to ride El Toro, the coasters at Magic Mountain lack airtime.

WildStangAlex Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Deja Vu is fantastic, I agree. I was made a bet by a random man of the GP that I could not hold my hands up on Mil Force the first time I went on it. Ha, no problem for me, but yeah, great sensation on that one! Also, it may seem odd, but Demon at SFGAm provides a great sensation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uwgbdork Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I am surprised that no one has thrown this one into the mix. But the Tower of Terror at Disney MGM always kicks my stomack into high gear. Just the fact that you never know when it is going to drop or how many times and the fact that sometimes you don't know whether you are going up or down at times coupled with the times that you can't see where you are and then change directions when you finally orient where you are in the tower. It pretty much kicks any standard free tower's butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildStangAlex Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I agree with your statement^. ToT is my favorite amusement ride of all time, however a close second for me is double shot at Indiana Beach. That thing is so wound up its amazing!

Airtime&Gravity Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 El Toro's first drop is simply amazing, and anyone who has ridden it will probably agree. However, last row on Avalanche is also really good, but due to how much tall, and steeper of a decent El Toro has, it is executed better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline_Rush Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I dont think Ive heard anyone say this one, The Kentucky Rumbler! That thing is just OMG airtime ride! Â Oh and one already stated is ToT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazed49 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 One of my favorites is defiantly Superman Ride of Steel (SFNE) in the back seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niiicolaaah Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Maverick... El Toro... Demon Drop... any Intamin 3rd Gen. drop tower  Oops, this post makes me sound like an Intamin fangirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 The old FreeFall rides have always been the most thrilling for me. As for coasters, I guess SheiKra/Griffon and El Toro are the best IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
