Froggies111 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I believe Sheikra is the best roller coaster in the United States Because it has very cool things on it like the drop and the immelman. What's your favorite roller coaster in the u.s.? By, Froggies111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Gosh, that's a hard question....Best Roller Coaster in the US...if I *HAD* to choose *one* to survive and all others would be destroyed I would go with: S:RoS at SFNE Elissa "but don't hold me to that!"

zaneymon Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 From the ones ive been on i would have to say Ghostrider at Knotts Berry Fram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 As of this moment in time, I'd also have to say Superman: Ride of Steel at Six Flags New England. Now how it will hold up in a few more years, a few more pitched people, and ever decreasing maintenance budgets, that may not be true. I'm not too fond of the park, the clientelle, or the operations of the ride, but the ride is kickass from lift to brake. Kumba has been running for over 10 years, and its still just as forceful, fun, and efficient as the day it was built. It may not be as smooth as it once was, but its still a great ride, and may be the best looping coaster in America, though it isn't very rerideable due to its intensity. As for wood, it may not be the tallest, fastest, or longest, but I've always had a consistently great ride on Phoenix at Knoebels. Add in the fact that it IS Knoebels and they are proud of their coaster and put some TLC into it every day, and I'd say Phoenix is the best coaster. Its definitely the best wood, IMHO. If a park like Knoebels had a monster like SROS, you know it'd be running great every day for the next 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterkid20 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 The Raven, Holiday World, Santa Clause Indiana. Of the coasters I have ridden only GhostRider on a good day can compare to Raven's otherworldly pacing and airtime. And considering out of the 70 some rides I've had on Raven were all suppurb it just shows that Raven runs amazing all day and all the time.

Skyscraper Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Tough question, but I think I can get an answer... HADES ! Awesome speed, awesome tunnel, great airtime, surprisingly good airtime and speed before the lift, steel beams that would cut your head, the 90degree bank curved... Sorry X, Millenium Force and The Beast, I had to make a choice ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookbaby Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 First of all I can't pick my favorite wooden coaster. Everyone loves a woodie! (wow... that kinda sounded dirty... lol!) but seeing as right now my big hype is all about Top Thrill Dragster cause I just rode it for my first time and about peed my pants. The moments where you are rolled out and waiting for the lights to turn were the SCARIEST moments of my life and all I could do was hold on and pray we cleared the hill! (the train before us had a rollback) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 wood: cyclops (mt olympus). that ride is perfection when ridden in the back seat...the only thing i hate is its so short steel: vortex (pki) the only looper i know of that produces at least 2 pops of air regardless of where you sit. and let me tell you...that is some sweet air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
