darklingscribe Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I tried doing a search for a topic like this, but the closest I found was the post your favorite coaster color scheme thread. I find that there is something arresting about the curves and shapes roller coasters create. And regardless of the ride there are some coasters out there which are so visually stunning that it is hard to deny that they look great. Here are three that I love. Goudurix at Parc Asterix is the first that comes to mind. While it's probably the worst ride at the park no one can call it an eye sore. Photo by Hhappy And the Giant Dipper at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is what I think may be the most Photographed coaster in the world. The Voyage at Holiday World has always been eye catching to me. This photo in particular was my desktop background for a good part of a year.

atem122 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Scream at SFMM is oddly photogenic. So is Tatsu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the ghost Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 ^^^ Mmmm, the ultimate example of B&M goodness(the hulk is really nice looking from far away also) My personal favorites are the following. 2 are not coasters, but are the two most beautiful rides on earth(IMO) and need to be put here because they are the most photogenic. The most beautiful ride in the world and almost(but not quite) a credit. Photo by Chuck(cfc) Second most beautiful ride in the world. Tower of Terror-Disneysea. Just amazingly well themed. Only Disney(and universal) can pull off something like this. California screamin(with water) is beautiful, with a very unique look added due to custom Intamin supports to make the coaster look like a wooden coaster. YAY INTAMIN GOODNESS The coaster is also in my top 10 Loch Ness monster is beautiful and considered to be one of the best arrows(this seems to be second best after tenessee tornado) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Since hundreds of coasters are photogenic, I'll just have to go with a couple favorites I've seen in person. Medusa (SFDK). The colors + curves= <3 , and practically any photo of her is beautiful. Tremors. There are some great angles that really convey its intensity.

Skycoastin Steve Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 In my August trip to Texas, I found that several of the coasters in San Antonio had very photogenic qualities to them. Steel Eel Great White Superman: Krypton Coaster And Voyage is a simply beautiful ride to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterfan99 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 To me, my absolute favorite before it was just removed was Chang. Outside of that, basically any B&M Invert comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Superman: Krypton Coaster Totally forgot about this one. Though I have never seen it in person I love the way the old quarry was worked into it's design. It reminds me of Magnus Colossus at Terra Mitica in Spain, another beautiful coaster build into an old quarry. From what I've read, It's a real shame that the ride Magnus Colossus gives isn't good.

DBru Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I forgot how beautiful of a coaster Vortex at CW is! In fact, that whole park is beautiful...some of the greenest grass and best landscaping I have seen at any park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 What is that last picture of, CJ? The last picture is the infamous Journey to the Center of the Earth at Disneysea. It is infamous because it is considered by many people to be the most beautiful and highly themed ride in the world.(its awesome, and thats where the lava monster is from) Also, it uses test track techhnology(sudden acceleration and deceleration) and is supposedly much more reliable than test track. In fact, strangely enough when Cars is built the only resorts that wont use test track technology will be Paris and China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wados Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 simple and small coaster but the red track on the blue sky looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkdcoaster Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Can't go wrong with MF from the lake. To me the lift hill is very symbolic of coasters. JEFF gorgeous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlmoorer Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 As cliched as it is....there is still something beautiful and majestic about Mean Streak Wood coasters were never meant to be this BIG!!! Oh and check out the retro pic...the longest line for Mean Streak EVER!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I know everyone thinks the Voyage is beautiful to look at, but I just wish someone would paint the steel framing on hybrids... Although I do love the one pic of it with the 90 degree turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreditCrazy Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Besides what has already been said, I find Diamondback very photogenic. My avatar has to be my favorite picture I've taken of the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeydad Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I would also agree with other choices like MF, Loch Ness, and Voyage. But I also used to love Dominator when it was still at Geauga Lake, (esp. from the watershows stadium). Volcano is also pretty awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
