Aceattack52 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Why does everyone like all the ones that are 7 miles tall and go 5,000 miles per hour? Here is my favorite, Mindbender at Six Flags Over Georgia. How about another one? Sure, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CpBluestreakCp Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Â Definitely Maverick. But, I also have a sentimental feeling for Blue Streak (Even if it isn't the best), so you could say those two are tied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_IntaMAN_ Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) STEEL: California Screamin'. Awesome Coaster with lots of potential, and even has airtime! Also makes for an awesome night ride with the lights and all. I absolutely love it  (Note: Pic is not mine)   WOOD: El Toro. One hell of a coaster and pure airtime goodyness. I wish to ride it again sometime soon in the future, I miss this wooden beast   TOP 5 STEEL: California Screamin' (DCA) Superman: Ultimate Flight (SFDK) Xcelerator (KBF) X2 (SFMM) Maverick (CP)  TOP 5 WOOD: El Toro (SFGAdv) Tremors (Silverwood) Apocalypse (SFMM) GhostRider (KBF) [iMO this is a pretty fun ride when it has it's good days] Colossus (SFMM) Edited February 1, 2013 by _IntaMAN_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrecken Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) I have a tough time picking an all-time favorite, so generally I pick a top five, and the rank within can change. Â Right now, my top five steel are as follows (they are all pretty much equal in their own way in rank, but the numbers are closest to the way I would rank them in order): Skyrush (this is a pic I took earlier this year) TTD MF I-305 Goliath at SFMM (tied with Nitro at SF Great Adventure) Â Wood is harder for me to rank, since I don't like woodies as much as steel coasters in general because I can't take a lot of roughness (and can't do many re-rides), but here goes: El Toro The Voyage Lighting Racer The Phoenix Ravine Flyer 2 Edited August 27, 2013 by Schrecken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanM64 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 My favorite steel and wooden coasters can both be found in this picture: Steel: Kingda Ka, Six Flags Great Adventure Wood: El Toro, Six Flags Great Adventure  A few right others at the top of my list include Top Thrill Dragster, Maverick, and Millenium Force at Cedar Point, Skyrush at Hersheypark, The Voyage at Holiday World, Phoenix at Knoebels, and Thunderbolt at Kennywood.  Coasters highest on my wish list include Bizarro at SFNE, iSpeed at Mirabilandia, Expedition GeForce at Holiday Park, Kawasemi at Tobu Zoo, Nemesis at Alton Towers, Balder at Liseberg, Colossos at Heide Park, Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce, and T Express at Everland.  It's no coincidence that most are Intamin. Yay, Intamin!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 My Coaster repertoire isn't that extensive (Current Count 125), but I can safely say of all the coasters I've ridden these are my favourites...  Steel - Nemesis  Wood - Megafobia  Special Mention - The Ultimate If the first half of this ride was as insane as the latter half I think this could be a real contender for my top spot, it's a ridiculously brutal ride but incredibly fun.

Pyrozooka0 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Wood: 3: Thunder Road at Carowinds (SC side, haven't ridden the NC side) 2: Scream Machine at SFOG 1: Hurler at Carowinds (yes, seriously. ) Â Steel: 5: Kraken at Sea World Orlando 4: Expedition Everest (wow, a Vekoma on a BEST list) 3: Intimidator at Carowinds (would be higher if it was a bit longer) 2: Mind Bender at SFOG (despite the extra inversion they always say it has, it still kicks ass in the best way possible) 1: Goliath at SFOG (Helix of Doom, Southern Style!)

GayCoasterGuy Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) I've probably answered this 10 times but o well... In no order:  -Kennywood Thunderbolt -HW Legend -Phoenix  -SFOG Mind Bender -CI Cyclone  ...this is where it gets fuzzy, cuz there are so many I like. The oldies are typically my favorites (Lakemont, Kennywood, etc. etc..) but I like a lot of new stuff too. It's all fun with good friends!  Anything from Anton Schwarzkopf! Cyclops, sooperdooperLooper, Apollo's Chariot, Voyage, Great Bear... the list goes on.  The best coaster I EVER rode was Timberwolf 1989. GA Cyclone and TX Giant were right behind it in 1990. They all were very quickly neutered (and deteriorated) within 2 or 3 years.  This curve was serious old-school - it felt like the train was riding running wheels on the right, and upstops on the left (it probably was!).

Coaster_Fanatic Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 My all time favorite is El Toro, for obvious reasons, and my #1 steel coaster is a tie between Kingda Ka and Intimidator 305. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tororific Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Favorite Coasters (in no order): Â Vancouver Playland Coaster Thunderbolt (Kennywood) Superman/ Bizarro - SFNE Magnum XL-200 The original Willard's Whizzer and Turn of the Century at Marriott's Great America in Santa Clara (sentimental reasons) El Toro Big Bad Wolf Griffon Kumba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmTree55 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 My favorite coaster by far! INTAMIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBears Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Favorite steel is Maverick because the first drop is short but insanely awesome. The ride just whips you around turns and tight elements. The launch is great too! Â Â Favorite wood is The Beast. It's just a classic and I love the smell of the grease while going up the lift. The ride shakes you but that's what makes it fun. The helixes at the end make a spectacular finale. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GayCoasterGuy Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Steel: S:ROS (Bizarro) Pre Ankle holsters/before 2009 Â What do these ankle holsters look like? The ride was perfect in the early 2000s... Very strange for a park to spend $10 million on a ride that is near-perfect and rated #1 in the world. That was strange. I haven't been back since 2006.
