Skramp Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 So here's the question, what is your favorite ride. Don't say TTD cuz it's huge and fast. Be creative and give reasons. Mine, actually I have two. Flight of Fear at PKI-yes, removing the over-the-shoulder restraints helped alot, but it's just a unique ride. There's really nothing else like it. Even though you can see the ground, you can't really tell which way you're going. Plus, if you get to ride it when the bldg is dark, it's great, feels so out of control. I gotta get to Joker's Jinx and Poltergeist soon to see if they compare. Second, and I know I'm in the minority here, but Flashback at SFMM. It's another unique ride that is like nothing else. Might hurt a bit, but not as bad as SOB or anything. So what is everyone elses?
CoasterExpert13 Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I'd have to say the Phantom's Revenge at Kennywood Park...It's former self (Steel Phantom) broke all the records. Phantom's Revenge is Awesome now that there is a lap bar and the inversions are gone (even though I loved them). The overall re-design kicks ass. Limegreen...Rocks. My second would be Villian at Geauga Lake. I don't think it broke any records, it's overall ride is fun. I love the first 2 drops and the trick-track manuver. The look also attracts me to it...Wooden track with steel structure, looks nice.
FlyingScooter Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 My favorite non-record breaker. Flying Scooters are my first choice. Second goes to The Bug.
socalMAN123 Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 My first would be Xcelerator. I don't really know if that broke any records, but oh well. Xcelerator isn't very unique, but still the speed and height of this ride, makes it second on my top ten list (right behind X). ---Brent 8)
PhishyBrewer Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Your mom! :shock: Oh wait, she did break a couple records. Nevermind. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Coasters 4 ever Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I've never even been on a record-breaker! This is easy! Dueling Dragons Fire! Second is DD Ice, Third is Revenge of the Mummy at USF.
RctInfinity Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Me neither! Thunderbolt at SFNE. It made me realize that woodies might actually be fun!
coasterdude5 Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I'd have to say Raging Bull at SfGam. That first drop owns. All the overbanked turns and unexpected turns make for an awesome ride. My second would be Thunderhead at Dollywood. I know it's not the biggest or the fastest but its my favorite woodie and will probably always be. My third would be Wildfire at SDC.It was my first major looper and that first immelman is amazing.
ECZenith Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 SFNE's Superman Ride Of Steel. The only recent coaster that broke records that made it into my top 10 was Millennium Force, but I still prefer SROS.
arrowfanman Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 It had many firsts, but I dont believe any records: The Matterhorn
coaster1 Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Wildfire .. amazing airtime in the seat of doom. PowderKeg .. simply amazing Jack Rabbit (KW) .. again .. masterpiece Phantom's Revenge ... masterpiece Ozark Wildcat and Thunderhead
Reon Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Cyclops, but I have doubts that it lacks a record, due to the TREMENDOUS amounts of airtime on that thing...on a similar note, good old Vortex. One of the best arrow multiloopers Ive been on, and with good reason. After multiple rides all over the train today, I discovered your guarenteed ATLEAST 2 pops of airtime regardless of where you sit...and thats ignoring the floater air down the first drop^^. Considering this is a ride built for G force pulling inversions, I say this ride is friggen awesome! The same reasoning goes toward Cyclops, but its a nice small wood twister instead...
it Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 i have.the record breaking ride that has the most pain..... VEKOMA BOOMERANG!!!!!!!
Coasterlicious Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 Superman ROS @ SFDL.... oh and Raptor.. but knowing CP that probably broke records but I dont know of them right now..
Groteslurf Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 my favorite ride is still Expedition G-force in Holiday park : amazing first drop, my favorite coastertrains and restraints, great airtime, ...
X Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 I'd say Xcelerator@KBF! 2nd best coaster I ever rode! Batman the Ride. Its not tall. Its not fast and yet It still ranks as the 4th best coaster I ever rode! Kevin"Oh yeah Batman the Ride does have a record. Most cloned! sorry"Bujold
EricLovesTZTOT Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 I'm a big fan of Expedition GeForce, the first drop is so amazing and the negatif Gs are so powerfull mmmhhhhhhhhhhh
dsngiem Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 I don't travel much, my family doesn't go to many places.. I do like Xcelerator, rode it 10+ times in a row. (no line, nothing else to do, why not?) Riddler's Revenge @ SFMM s a favorite of mine, Big Favorite. Daniel "should be sleeping or eating" Sngiem
Fry Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 Hurukan Condor at Port Aventura is my favourite ride around. The height is immense and the drop is just 5 seconds of pure speed, and airtime. The fact it has three types of seating just makes it better in my eyes.
roeterich Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 I would say EGF but I think it has some records (Richard Rodriguez) or at least the first drop is very unique. So I have to say Goliath, because it's my 2nd favorite coaster and there aren't any records.
