What Now Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 While isn't my #1 coaster, I like Steel Force quite a bit. It *has* airtime and quite a bit of it, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I'm the opposite with the Beast at PKI. Everyone says that they love it, but I rode it and said, "WTF?" It was fast, but that's it. Ditto. The only redeeming quality I find in the so called legend is a nighttime ride. However, even that has been destroyed, now that theyre are lights lineing the track . Even though I havent ridden them, I feel the same about the hype for Raven and Legend. Legend does have a nice looking layout, but Raven on the other hand...From my point of view, if you want a good airtime coaster with a nice layout, ride Cyclops in the backseat...Or the HP Wildcat....

black sabbath Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Ok I admit it, I actually like SLCs and Boomerangs. I know everyone hates them, but I just didn't think they are *that* bad. Sure they had roughness and headbanging, but it wasn't unbearable IMO. They aren't top ten coasters by any means, but they weren't all that bad. Deja Vu is also another ride I like. I also think that Revenge of the Mummy at USH is underrated, was a pretty fun indoor coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Yeah. I actually dont mind SLC's and SLC-in-trainings...Theyre actually kinda fun once you get used to the pain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Ninja at SFOG and Son of Beast. Don't get me wrong, I'm not like in love with Ninja, but I thought it was a fun ride, and it takes a lot of crap... or at least used to. I love Son of Beast too. What an awesome ride, however, I do feel like I need my ribs glued back together when I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J man Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I like Scream! at SFMM. I'll admit that the location isn't the best, and they could have at least gotten rid of the parking lot lines. But still it's a good ride. It's got lots of elements and that's what I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I really loved the Steel Phantom, and it was REALLY hated. Sorry Den Den, lol! I suppose I knew how to ride that thing after 10 years. I really hate Mean Streak though. That is the biggest POS. Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneygurlz2s Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Despite my recent brain-jarring ride, I have always defended the Beast because of the awesome layout and just the fact that it led the pack for many years. I still think it's a great coaster, just wish they would do something to smoothen out the ride. I definitely think they could improve that.

M_Force_4_ever Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 believe it or not I liked SOB alot. yeah thats a pretty hated ride.

Orient_Express Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Mamba, You get alot of ejector air in the back seat. Its my fav. morgan hyper to date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I love X, because for some strange reason, everytime I go on it, it is smooth.(past and very recent) I also liked SUF a lot, and can't wait for a flyer here at SFMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezus Juice Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I like SOB and a few others I'm not "supposed" to like. Also I thought Ninja at SFOG is probably a top 5 arrow/vekoma (not counting Disney) There are others I'll probably think of later. -Don Oh, and OE ^ "So if your fat and all your in this bi$ch then grab ya nutsack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvcoasterguy Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I have quite a few: - Arrow Loopers. I think they're fun. Demon, Python, and Shockwave all are (or were) great fun. Shockwave, when I went on it, was glass smooth, and better than B&M loopers. (I know, crazy.) - Iron Wolf. If you get in the refurbished train, you're in for a fun, smooth, and amazingly intense ride. Try to notice how fast Iron Wolf goes through its corkscrew- it's amazing. - American Eagle. It's my favorite ride at Six Flags Great America. It's awesome in the front row going forwards- tons of air. And, it's amazing in the back row going backwards (the row that goes down the hill last.) It feels like you're freefalling down that drop, and it's a sensation that you don't really get on many other coasters. - Gwazi. I really don't think this ride is as rough as people say it is. In fact, I find it very smooth for a wooden coaster. The overbanked hill on this ride is crazy, as are the suprises that this ride provides. - Schwarzkopfs. While they're not hated, they aren't talked about or loved enough. I find this man a genius, and even his smallest works are works of art. Scorpion may be small, but it packs a punch, and is forceful. Whizzer may be a little tame, but it's one of the most enjoyable rides ever made. Those turns are so cool through the trees, especially the one real close to the ground. The first drop may be shallow, but there's an awesome twist to it. I always tell my friends to put their hands up as we're first going down the drop, and it's fun to see them slam their hands down as soon as we turn. The Schwarzkopfs are still smooth, even after many years of constant use. The Whizzer is still the smoothest ride at Six Flags Great America, smoother than Raging Bull, which, really vibrates a ton at the bottom of the drops, which feels really weird. It feels like a massage chair, especially on your ass. Strange? Yes. True? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgathriller Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I really like the Grizzly at PGA. Everybody says that it is boring, rough and a waste of room at PGA. It was my first coaster and I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 X at SFMM- The front is a little bit rough, but the ride itself is awesome! The seats are very comfortable and I just don't understand why everybody hates it so much. Arrow loopers- I've only been on one (Viper @ SFMM), but it is one of my favorite rides. Yes, I do get extreme headaches after riding Viper, but the ride itself is very fun. ---Brent 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroger8 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I too like Ninja at SFoG, I really think its a great layout with awesome head-choppers, and its really not at all rough. (in the special seats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchCoasterFan Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I really love the El Condor in Walibi Worldm the first ever SLC. And it hurts like hell, but it is so much fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUSHIE Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Hmmm... I don't really know. I liked Steel Phantom, do people hate that? I liked Talon, allthough I do argee it had no forces. Hmm.. I don't really know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derwood Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I've always liked SOB. Yeah, it's rough, but its a wood coaster with a loop and some awesome hills. I also like Mean Streak at CP, which everyone hates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasters 4 ever Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I'd say Hydra @ Dorney. People don't really HATE this ride, but most people don't like it because it's almost forceless. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I like X while most people don't like it because its rough and Silver Bullet. People say Silver Bullet is forceless and its true but its still a really good coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I like Boomerang at KBF. People say its horrable,but I don't see nothing wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 For me, SoB is just highly overrated. First of all, despite there being a few bunny hills, the ride provides NO AIR....and Ive ridden it from all the seats...Secondly, while I can appreciate roughness, wooden chaos does not mix with 200ft+ height and speed...Finally, your mom XD. Im not saying SoB is a bad ride (heck its #5 on my wood list), Im just saying its highly overrated.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterExpert13 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I Love the Steel Phantom (Defunct) formerly at My Home-park Kennywood, West Mifflin, PA. The fact that it was a bit rough is what made the ride funner to me. The Speed, The inversions and that killer second hill won me over. But now the Phantom's Revenge is thrice as good! I Love the Mantis at Cedar Point, Sandusky, OH. People say it's rough at the end.....people say it doesn't have enough inversions.....or it isn't tall or fast enough...Simply put, it's my favorite coaster at CP.....though I love most of the others...Mantis is the most exciting to me.....yeah even more exciting that Raptor, Millennium Force & Top Thrill Dragster. Mantis Rocks! I also Love Dominator (Batman: Knight Flight) People say that the ride is too short and that the first drop is forceless...that may be to some people but I loved the curved drop into that huge verical loop. But the cobra-roll and interlocking corkscrews is what won me over with this ride. Silver Bullet, Hydra & Talon are underatted in my opinon. To tell you the truth,TTD is garbage in my opinion. Son of Beast is too damn rough. Beast is just another wood coaster to me......*whoop-dee-doo*, its long and fast...and so are more than half of the coasters wood or steel in the world.
