Most Intense Rides You've Been On

[philthephorce]

For me it's probably Steel Phantom. Apparently it was a bit much for many other people and that's one of the main reasons it is now Phantom's Revenge.

[RollingRunner]

Either 'Intimidator 305' or 'Batman: The Ride' would win the intensity cake. Even though i only rode i305 once, I was amazed by just the sheer raw power and speed that thing ran, and this was after the trims were installed too! I could only imagine what a brake-less ride would be like...

 

Batman on the other hand is relentless positives throughout the entire ride. The tight first drop into some speedy inversions, and no MCBR! It still hurts my legs alot, but Batty always gives a thrilling ride.

Without a doubt the most intense coaster I have been on is Intimidator305. While I didn't grey out at all it was still pure insanity and those "twisties" are absolutely crazy. I probably wouldn't be able to handle it without trims because it was so intense.

Bomber (Roll-O-Plane) at Sylvan Beach- gotta love an old school flat plus the ghetto look and feel of it makes it even better.

The Revolution swinging ship that goes upside down at PGA(now Endavor) at CGA. I first went on it summer 1993 approx I was so scared I thought I was going to fall out. I didn't go on it again until 2002 & one or two times after that year. It is intense every time especially when you are swinging from side to side almost ready to go upside down. I'd love to go on it again but I can't go on swinging/spinny rides anymore.

Pretty much tons of countless rides found here in Germany's fairs are intense.

 

Goliath's helix made me go into tunnel version.

Alpengeist can be pretty intense.

If I remember right, I found Zonga (was at SFMW) to be pretty intense.

Batman: The Ride is very intense from start to finish, but for me Maverick is the most intense coaster I've been on simply because when I come back into the station, I am always out if breath and really hyper. Just my opinion though obviously!

[Geauga Dog]

Voyage - intense from chain release to brake run. Leaves you rather breathless.

 

Laser - for a small Schwarzkopf this packed a punch. I greyed out on the second loop every time. He was a genius.

 

Ravine Flyer II - not as intense as Voyage but night rides on this can be insane.

 

Superman (SFGAm and SFGAdv) - while the layout may be meh the pretzel loop makes up for it. I can only imagine what Tatsu's massive pretzel loop is like.

 

Batman - any Batman is intense though I thought SFStL's was a bit more intense than the others (or is it that I'm getting old).

[cb0688]

Titan - Those helix's are just crazy!

 

Batman: The Ride - The whole ride is intense...I gray out every time.

 

Boardwalk Bullet (1st night) - We didn't think it would open because it was storming pretty bad, but we still wanted to go see if they would. When we got there it was still raining but they were running it! The ride was really insane when it first opened.

 

Taz's Texas Tornado - The drop and first 2 loops were so intense the few times I was able to ride it. Those accordion like-OTSR would crunch down on you during those loops!

[sixflagsgadvguy1000]

I only have two that I can think of off of the top of my head. These were off the charts intense for me but still so awesome

 

#1. Batman The Ride ( Six Flags Great Adventure ) / / Vampire ( La Ronde ) { Both Are Batman Clones }

 

#2. Intimidator 305 ( Kings Dominion )

[ScottBrown]

One word Tango . . .

[braztaz]

intimidator 305, no contest!

[Intimidator305]

intimidator 305, no contest!

 

Agreed.

 

2nd place would have to go to Afterburn @ Carowinds. I am always simply amazed of how intense that ride is (back-row especially) for a B&M!

 

3rd place would have to go to Volcano @ KD... That launch, turn, second launch, and flip out of the mountain is still one of my favorite moments on any coaster I've ever been on!

 

Honorable Mention would have to go to Dragster @ CP... Very nice launch!

 

Now if XLC was still around it would definitely be up there... that launch was SO forceful!

[Blind Idiot God]

Boulder Dash at night in the back. Holy crap does that thing fly, with the triple-up being especially savage.

[Angry_Gumball]

Not sure why but lately, especially after reopening that Invertigo seems to feel more intense depending on what row I sit at. Lately, I've been sitting at the very back row (end seat, backwards first) and when going through the boomerang element and loops, I've began seeing gray spots and tunnel vision. I've also felt my head get locked into a position during the vertical loop. Afterall it does pull 5 g's.

 

And CGA's White Water Falls...yes, it' a standard water ride but that double dip plays no games. The airtime is crazy especially with no restraints to hold you in. Normally I would be one to put my hands up but on this one (especially if it's a full boat) I will hang on as my butt is ejected off the seat leaving me practically standing up.

 

Lastly, Flight Deck at CGA...pretty intense, usually get tunnel vision/start graying out after the first loop. The ending helix is pretty powerful too.

Olympia Looping + Festhaus Beer + Pretzel Girl + hhot = Intense Ride Experience

[SenseOFone]

Wildcat at CP

 

Ok. Or maybe Voyage.

Invertigo has always been like that, if you sit in front row that runs through backwards first when you hit the vertical loop forward it is brutal

The backseat of X2 during ERT at West Coast Bash. The flip at the bottom of the hill happens so fast in the back. I was afraid I was falling out every time I had my legs almost ripped out over the top of the hump...love that ride so much.

[Josh Linn]

Intimidator 305 and Batman: The Ride...Kumba is up there too.

[jordanthejordan]

airtime:

1. el toro

2. boulder dash

3. magnum (yes, i loved it in 2010)

4. maverick

 

High gs:

1. superman uf SFGadv

2. Montu back row (specifically the climb to the mcbr)

3. kingda ka/ttd launch (the feel the same to me)

4. batman (1st loop into zero-g or 2nd flatspin)

 

but, the scariest moment on a ride IMO is the climb up the first spike on deja vu

[hansrubens]

Olympia Looping + Festhaus Beer + Pretzel Girl + hhot = Intense Ride Experience

 

 

Absolute truth!!!

[shangalaing]

Wooden wild mouse at Blackpool Pleasure beach. Nothing that I have been on slams you into the sides of the car as hard, pushes you as far out of the seat or hurts your backside at the bottom of drops than this ride.

 

I love it.

[singemfrc]

Definitely the side facing the lift on the Green Lantern ZacSpin at SFMM. Swung forward and backward so fast it just about ripped my jaw off. I liked it, but it will make repeat rides rather difficult

[Kyle Coleman]

Not exactly the most obscure choice from me but I would have to also go with the voyage. Just raw speed, power and intensity from the top of the lift hill to the brake run. After riding it last Saturday night during holliwood nights, I had to go sit down and take a break in between rides because I was just out of breath when we came back to the station.
