coasterbill Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 El Toro, I305 and Skyrush come to mind but for me Maverick is miles ahead of all of them in terms of intensity. The insane lateral transitions put the similar elements on I305 to shame and there's nothing comparable on Skyrush or El Toro. I think El Toro is a better coaster than Maverick (barely) but Maverick is much more intense. I love Maverick's final overbank before the last bunny hop. That element is screwed up in the best way possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker27 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Is it bad that I think Manta @ SWO? The pretzel puts so much pressure on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 B&M Pretzel loops are very intense but they're the only parts of flying coasters that are which is why I wouldn't consider listing them. Something like Maverick, I305 or Skyrush is just an onslaught of intensity that never lets up until you hit the brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin00007 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 For me it was Sky Scream in Holiday Park Germany. My first backwards launched rollercoaster, and then the weird - not very safe looking - safetybelts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Stinger at dorney (yes, I managed to ride it!) was pretty forceful while being smooth (at least for me). It's not the most intense I've ridden but you could definitely feel the 5 Gs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkjunkie Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Ditto on B&M Flyer pretzel loops, otherwise for entire ride, I would have to say Hades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
