2005 Roller Coasters

[pgathriller]

This poll is only for the new roller coasters that came out in 2005. I checked and I couldn't find a topic about the best 2005 coasters. Post why you like the coaster you picked. I only put the main coasters.

[BiCoastal Kid]

Kanonen.

[ECZenith]

I voted for Kingda Ka, I've been on all of those except Rita and Powder Keg.

[SharkTums]

Out of the new for 2005's I've ridden so far this year (Powder Keg, Shakira, and Kanonen) It's a toss up for me between Powder Keg and Shakira. I think I will also end up on Hydra, Kingda Ka, and Hades this year. I don't expect my favorites to change!

[JamminJ]

No Hades? What the hell?

[BiCoastal Kid]

^I love you in a very non-stalkerish way for that post...

[Reon]

This season Ive only been on Hades, and IJST...IJST is a nice little launcher, but Hades owns it. Therefore, I vote Hades

[relient k is cool]

Wow...I haven't been on any of those, but my favorites that I want to ride, and will probably ride in the next 2 years are Hades and Sheikra.

[pgathriller]

I voted for Kingda Ka. Just because it's the fastest and tallest roller coaster in the world. Even though it has the most down time than any coaster this year.

[Jak]

I personally Think Sheikra is the best , but I'm going to vote for Rita: QoS simply because it different. Its not like any other intamin accelerator , it doesn't have a top hat, it doesn't have go very high, and I think that we should give alton towers the credit for not going with the crowd.

New for 2005 rides I have been on this year are...Powder Keg... Italian job Stunt Track.... Hades...Gold Rush Express...Orient Express(riverview).... And Mr Six. (im going on Hydra next week.. And ill see a closed KK too)

 

Of the ones I have been on I would say Hades was the best but even that could have been better

.

Powderkeg would have been better if it didnt stop so hard for the lifthill.. and if it did more after the lifthill..

 

IJST SUCKED... I hated it.

 

Goldrush is just a little kiddie as with Orient Express....

 

And then MrSix was just the biggest "POS" ever....

[Token Yankee Guy]

I voted for Hades because I heard good reviews for this coaster and I'll be riding it in two weeks. Reason why Kingda Klunk didn't get my vote is because it decided to become the world's largest POS when it broke down a week before I went down.

 

 

Craiggers "I still haven't gotten over the fact that when I went to GAdv, I saw Kingda Klunk, yet couldn't ride it" K

[Coasters 4 ever]

I have only ridden Hydra.

[Jonathan]

Out of those I have been on Italian Job, Powder Keg, and Hades, and my favorite was Hades. I honestly doubt I would like any of the others better than Hades, because I prefer wood over steel usually, and well, Hades is my favorite coaster... ever.

[benzo41190]

Hades, 106 rides.

 

want 250 by the end of the year.

[Reon]

Well you live in Wisconsin so you dont count...Then again Ive only ridden IJST 5 times...who cares though? I mean, its just IJST... As for Hades, I managed to ride it twice...It wasnt an airtime machine for me, but I rode it after a backseat ride on Cyclops, so yeah....Im sure you know about that thing's perfection^^

[bgwfreak]

I voted Sheikra.

 

Although I haven't been on it yet, I have watched the video and it looks awesome. (Thanks Robb for the vid!)

 

Also a tie to that one would be Hades(also haven't ridden yet). It looks awesome.

 

How many times can I use awesome in a post? It would be so awesome if I like got an awesome award for using awesome so many times!

 

IJST is the only one on the list I have ridden so far. It's a fun little coaster, but nothing to write home about.

[TwistedTrack]

i have never been on any of those but SheiKra looks the coolest with the immelman and the 2 vertical drops and the water brake thing.

[pgathriller]

So far Hades comes in 1st and Sheikra in 2nd. Nobody likes Italian Stunt Track. How sad.

[CoasterCrazy]

Out of the ones listed I have only been on Kingda Ka and Hydra the Revenge.

I like Hydra the Revenge better than Kingda Ka because I didn't fall asleep on Hydra the Revenge. IMO if you have been on TTD you have been on Kingda Ka.

 

I haven't been on it but I think Sheikra is the best coaster of 2005.

[coasterdude5]

Definately Sheikra for me. It just looks awesome and I haven't even been on it but I will next year.

[DerekRx]

So far this year I've been on Hydra, Sheikra, Powder Keg, Mr Six's Pandemonium, and sat on Kingda Klosed for 30 minutes. Haven't been on any IJST yet, nor Hades, which I will amend in a few weeks. Of them, I'd say Sheikra is the best. Its got a ride, and though short, its fun, thrilling, and feels complete. Powder Keg is a close second, but with the lifthill and not much after it, it falls just short. Besides, Sheikra's watersplash actually works, and is VERY effective. What's the purpose of Powder Keg's water base at the bottom of the first drop? Will that ever do anything??

 

Both have excellent theming though and are excellent rides.

[Spookbaby]

The only one that I've riden is the Italian Job. I'm sure it wouldn't be my favorite out of all of them but if you haven't riden it, its hysterical. I went with my friends and I think we laughed like crazy the whole way. It's not the tallest or fastest but it was fun!

[Rugged One]

So far this year, I've been on Hydra, Powder Keg, Kingda Ka, and Hades. I have to go with Hades for best of the year so far. I couldn't get enough of that tunnel action.

[viking86]

I voted for Kanonen since its the only one I have ridden. But some of the other new coasters like Hydra, Hades and SheiKra looks really good.
