Invertalon Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 X2 no doubt... That ride is abusive (in a good kind of way) and intense as all hell. Nothing came close to that first ride for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultradude306 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) 1. Skyrider: (Togo standup... Only ride I've ever grayed on, & the airtime is crazy too.. Also on the trick track, if you're in the front left, you feel like you'll hit the fence next to the path, & the last bunny hops before the breaks get you by surprise. Added bonus, the ride is only rough in the corners, which is pretty amazing for a Togo that's been around for nearly 30 years) 2. Drop Zone: (Intamin Senond gen Freefall...only ride that still scares me a bit) 3. Chance Zipper (Run by World's Finest Shows): With the right op at the controls, this ride probably pulls about 5G, & also has some crazy ejector air. Also some crazy moments pinned against the door while being flung toward the ground, preying the deadbolt holds) 4. Mindbender (West Ed. mall): (Shocked that I didn't grey on this, & also a bit disappointed w/ the lack of airtime, but still a crazy ride) 5. L306 (Leviathan): (The first drop is crazy, & about halfway down, you feel like you've reached terminal velocity... But you just keep going! ) It will be interesting to see how Vampire at La Ronde ranks against the bad boys listed above after my La Ronde trip this summer. I hear BTR clones are very intense.

rubysparkles Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 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. I forgot about this one. I agree with the pretzel loops on B&M flyers, but found Manta more intense than Tatsu. Intimidator 305 is the only ride I've greyed out on, so that's my most intense. I can't wait to go on Dodonpa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olov Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Insane with no weight balancing rules applied made me scream like a little girl. Also had a beyond awesome ride on a Huss booster at Hamburg SommerDOM, wish there would be more of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcoastermark Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Skycoaster at Fun Spot Orlando last week. Being pulled up 250 feet on a string and then released. Most terrified I've ever been on a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultradude306 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 ^ I'm too much of a P***y to ride skycoasters, so my excuse is that I don't count it as a flat-ride or coaster, so technically, by MY standards, it's not an amusement ride lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angle O. Descent Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I305. Made me grey out every time. Random tip: I find turning your head towards the direction of the turn helps with avoiding a greyout. Helped me with Ride of Steel and Goliath SFMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon8899 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Thriller on the carnival. The compression between the first and second loop was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Insane with no weight balancing rules applied made me scream like a little girl.Green Lantern ripped my face off, so Insane would definitely make me squeal as well..its on my bucket list now I305. Made me grey out every time. Random tip: I find turning your head towards the direction of the turn helps with avoiding a greyout. Helped me with Ride of Steel and Goliath SFMM.This will work on almost anything..the greyout is caused by the G forces forcing the blood out of your head..if you turn your head in a direction that prevents it, you wont grey out. On a helix, turn your head so that it is straight up and down with the ground (for example on Goliath at SFMM, tilt your head left, toward the car). On inverted coasters with vertical loops with high Gs, tilting your head back works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnychen Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Titan at SFoT - That helix definitely will cause grey outs X2 at SFMM - Insanely intense Weiner Looping at Boardwalk and Baseball - I greyed out on this thing Top Thrill Dragster at CP - can't beat that open seating with just a lap bar and a great view of the lake Iron Rattler - Best pacing ever in a coaster. Keeps up the intensity until you hit the brakes with a huge pop of air and laterals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peytonsgirl83 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 So far, all three of mine are/ were at SFMM, but I am sure that will change after the midwest tour: Deja Vu- not sure where it is now, but I was shaking after getting off that ride. Loved every minute; sad to see it leave the park. X2- gets me every time. Lex Luthor Drop of Doom- 405 ft free fall...lost my mind. One time only ride for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Komar Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 For me its 1. Mantas Pretzel loop 2. Afterburns batwing 3. Millennium Forces over banked turn, I always Grey out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBears Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 -Maverick in the back row on the first drop always makes me see black dots. -Batman: The Ride at SFGAm is small but still very intense. I sometimes start to grey out on the loops. -The Beast's double helix finale shakes the cars side to side in the tunnels. It's a lot of fun! -Hades' tunnel (both trips) tosses you around but it's still one of my favorite moments on any roller coaster. -HellCat (formerly Avalanche at Timberfalls) is very deceiving. It may not look tall, but this is one of most out of control rides I've been on in the back row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 For just start-to-finish intensity, Batman and Outlaw Run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koasterking48 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Maverick's f**ked up turns towards the end always bash the hell out of my head. This one under the first drop This one under the first drop second one right before the brake run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgiumcoasterfreak Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Speed Flip on the local fair in 2008 in Leuven (Belgium). Really, this flatride was insane, a real puke ride that can speed up like crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AusCoasterFan Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I was hoping a topic like this would pop up. I have often wondered to myself what indeed is the most intense coaster I've ridden. I guess for the overall coaster I'd go with: - BATMAN SFMM for its high Gs through the inversions and helixes - X2 simply for its crazy concept and terrifying first drop - XCELERATOR for its launch and high speed overbanked turns For intense experiences during a ride I'd like to mention: - The final helix on SILVER BULLET - The "grey-out" helix on GOLIATH - The pretzel loop on TATSU - The crazy violent ride and ejector airtime on DESPERADO - and the slingshot feeling on the first drop of APOCALYPSE when riding at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultradude306 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Again, hearing all these amazing things about B:TR, I'm EXTREMELY pumped for my trip to La Ronde, which has a B:TR mirror clone. As I've said before, i like my rides really intense, and this sounds amazing, as it seems like a smooth and intense ride. Although I haven't rode it, I've heard that the slingshot (reverse bungee) rides) are extremely intense, and from what I understand, La Ronde also owns one. Has anybody been on one of these, and if so, how was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcoastermark Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I can testify that, yes, reverse bungees are very intense and fun too. Last one I rode was about ten years ago and had the old style seats where the attendant strapped you in with nylon belts, as opposed to some of the newer ones I've seen with the over the shoulder restriants found on coasters like Montu etc. Night rides are best as you're shot into the dark and the spinning as you come down has you seeing the lights below on the ground before seeing the dark sky as you're flipping. Intense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultradude306 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 ^ That sounds great.. I'lll make sure to bring some extra cash for the ride when I go t La Ronde. Do you know how the forces were? (Gs/airtime etc.) If it's anything like the zipper, with all the spinning, I'd expect it to be quite forceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yay101 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 1.) Intimidator 305 2.) Intimidator 305 3.) Intimidator 305 Nothing comes close to equalling that ride's intensity (at least nothing I've been on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midgetman82 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Having been on Maverick for the first three times two days ago, my top vote for intensity goes to it! Second to that is I305, and third is probably backseat on Wicked Twister thanks to the sudden upward turn going backwards and the twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultradude306 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Speed Flip on the local fair in 2008 in Leuven (Belgium). Really, this flatride was insane, a real puke ride that can speed up like crazy! Geeze!... That looks pretty intense, however, with my experience on ride by that manufacture (I believe it's Moser), I found I really don't fit they're restraints all too well, & would be in for some major headbangaing Still looks like an interesting ride tho, & I'd probably try it if I came across one at a fair or park.
