Heth Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 The only ride I've 'greyed out' on was Dueling Dragons: Fire, so I guess by virtue of that it's probably the most intense I've been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 ^Well, one of the only two rides that made me grey out was nitro (sfgad) and I wouldn't exactly call it intense. it has an intense moment - the helix, which is where I greyed out. The Batman clones are pretty forceful and never made me grey out. I'm not saying that dueling dragons are not intense as I've never even ridden it but what I mean is that it's not just about having a long moment of sustained high Gs (which is what causes grey/black outs) it's more about the way those moments combine with transitions (batman corkscrews or maverick's turns), good pacing (skyrush),.... Hope I've made myself clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I305 (KD) - This introduced me to a whole new level of coasters the first time I boarded the train at East Coast Bash 2012. Wowzers! Maverick (CP) - Those transitions into the turns are super sharp. Get some i305 restraints on it, and it'll be my #1 coaster, hands-down. Top Thrill Dragster (CP) - That launch is an out of body experience. Bonus points for the floater top-hat 400+ feet up. Voyage (HW) - It's always an adventure that leaves me breathless after each lap. Goliash (SFMM) - Always greyed out on the helix. T2 (KK/SFKK) - Brutal in "certain" ways while it was open. Not really "painful," but did shake my entire body around violently. Sometimes that roughness made me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Iron Rattler. That backseat! X2. I remember sitting on the break run thinking "WTF just happened." Batman clones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Coleman Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Have to give it to the voyage on this one. Every time I come back to the station I feel like I ran the course not rode it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwil Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 For all-out intensity, Skyrush is the winner for me, and it isn't even close. I can't think of another ride that emulates riding a bull so perfectly. Somewhat ironically, El Toro is my #2 (and certainly my top woodie for intensity). Kingda Ka wins for most intense launch, but after that the ride is "calm." Honorable Mentions: Millennium Force (most intense drop, IMHO), Maverick, Nitro, Griffon.

PKI Jizzman Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Phantom's Revenge and Exterminator are new additions to my list. Cyclops is up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Dondonpa. I loved that ride, it's to bad it's in such an awfully run park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Skyrush. Easily tops anything I posted in this thread before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Mindbender at SFOG, though Afterburn is a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Laterals-Legend The Knoebels Twister has some crazy laterals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Cyclops and Outlaw Run, different types of intensity. But I I think Outlaw Run can pull more positive and negative G's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiCraft2011 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 GhostRider. It's fast, rough, and it has a very twisted layout. I would say Xcelerator, but that coaster is just "fun". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Pretty much all of the obvious ones that were mentioned so far plus Montana Infinitum at La Feria Chapultepec. That thing is INSANE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Skyrush for sure. It may not be as tall, fast or provides the intense ride that i305 does, but it's still intense in it's on way. Back left wing seat has a major airtime moment going over the lift and every turn and airtime hill will have you white knuckled the moment you hit it. Such an awesome ride!

Sharman19 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I have to say Maverick. The twists in the canyons are so tight. There are very few airtime moments, but are INSANE! And the airtime in the 95' drop, and the overbanks after the launch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Fox Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Boulder Dash, after dark. Even Intimidator 305's g-forces can't come close to the insane out of control sensation of speed on BD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnastyGnoric7 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 For me, I'd say Batman The Ride, that coaster makes me so disoriented in all the right ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanobieFan Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Cyclone at SFNE. The ejector pop in the back is unbeatable on any coaster. The lateral airtime after the third drop was really abrupt. Ejector with major headchoppers. It will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Thunder road @ Carowinds back in '08. This thing was CRAZY! In my opinion, it was so rickety and rough that it was fun! I didn't get a headache coming off. You would just bounce violently throughout the course. It was one of those rides where you had to hang on for dear life!

Angle O. Descent Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I305 for greyouts, Skyrush for airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Wood: The Voyage: I've yet to ride anything else that can match it in terms of how aggressive the ride is. That's when it's running smooth, of course. I'm also going to to say The Legend because of the laterals, but being more specific, it's really this turn that does it for me.

ioio Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 X2 ... you will never forget the first time you go on this ride! it's truly indescribable! That face first drop, followed by the huge raven turn ... unreal!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Invertigo at Kings Island. Front row has some crazy greyout-inducing forces. And with the coaster being a Vekoma... intense is putting it lightly. Not to mention you have to relive everything twice, and going backwards prevents you from bracing the transitions.
