PKI Jizzman Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 That's a good way to get your hand chopped off. What part of "keep your hands inside the car" did you not understand? I like to put my hands up and to the side on rides! I and I understand. >.>
summerof72 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 the tunnel section in Expedition Everest, esp where you go backwards, is awesome! the "launch" tunnel of Space Mountain makes me dizzy, have to close my eyes : (
itsme102 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 For me, Loch Ness Monster takes the cake. I love that helix!
All Clear Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I'm glad to hear the Grizzly getting it's well-deserved props. That tunnel always feels like something has gone terribly wrong and just when you think you should be dead you come popping out the other side. Once in a while they have the lights on in there and then it's just weird. Voyage's triple down was the first coaster moment to scare the carp out of me in a loooooooong time. OT (not so best tunnel): Here's the story of the very first time my friend Nicole rode the Loch Ness Monster: As we latched on to the second lift, she began to share with me her ideas of how the section between the first loop and where we were now might be reprofiled to make the ride more exciting. That pretty much sums up my feelings about LNM's longest, slowest helix (for)ever. Strobe, fog, whatever. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
coasterCrAzY505 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 #1 is definately Tennesee Tornado! After that, Lochness Moster, Kumba and Steel Force.

I like to put my hands up and to the side on rides! I and I understand. >.> Not to be rude, but yeah, we had a couple people come back with bloody hands while I worked at the Beast. You're okay usually if you put you hands straight up, but out to the sides there isn't much clearance, especially in the helix tunnel. If you've seen what I've seen, you wouldn't be so quick to stick your hands out to the side on the beast. -James "I'm being nice to call them 'bloody hands' as they were pretty nasty injuries" Dillaman
TatsuXtreme Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 the best tunnel on a ride that i've been through is the one on Revolution at SFMM. it gets pitch black in there for a couple of seconds, and they say that its haunted.
PKI Jizzman Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Millennium Force's is accually pretty cool, is narrow and gives a cool sound when it goes through it. Tennessee Torando's is cool, but not that great.... Thunder Road at PC is pretty cool b/c of that loud noise it makes Space Mtn's with the lights and swirls stuff is pretty awesome Top Gun the Jet Coaster - Its cool for any invert to have a tunnel, especially one filled with fog! Also with Adventure Express! - lights and flashes, skeletons, Indiana Jones theming!
VegasCoaster Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 I'm a fan of the tunnel after the midcourse break run on The Voyage. I swear there are LIMs in the tunnel to gain that speed, after the breaks. That and the air on the triple down takes you by suprise.
odene497 Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Millennium Force's is accually pretty cool, is narrow and gives a cool sound when it goes through it. Yea it is cool but it really sucks at night in the second tunnel when they take your picture. I'm surprised no one's had a seizure
niiicolaaah Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Dragon Mountain: it gets pitch black and when you come out, you go straight into an inversion! Dragon Coaster at Rye Playland: It roars at you!
vjgx Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 The only tunnels I've been through are on SFMM's Goliath and Rye Playland's Dragon Coaster. I like Dragon Coaster's for the length, mist, and special effects, but I also love Goliath's due to the crazy headchopper.
steel Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Demon's tunnel owns all other tunnels. MF's tunnels are cool at night. The picture flash is ALMOST as blinding as looking straight into the floodlight on Steel Venom at VF!.
ShannonSomerville Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 So many choices,but the best tunnel for me has to be the second tunnel on Superman at SFNE,but the tunnels on the Voyage comes in second place.
Golfie Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Raging Bull @ SFGAm - it's SO freaking loud when you go through it! Demon @ SFGAm - All the flashing lights inside make you feel dizzy and forget that you're riding a roller coaster.
IceDragon Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Colossus at Thorpe Park comes straight out of a loop, under a bridge, over an airtime hill and dives under the shop. the extra airtime makes it feel like you really are gonna hit it. Oblivion is also very good. it looks smaller that a 2p piece from the top i dont think ive been on any other rollercoasters with tunnels...
exmouse Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 I think the tunnel leading to the lift hill on Air is superb. I love the way it reminds of driving into a multi storey car park (parking garage). It genuinely gives you that feel. No other tunnel creates such a genuine feeling so well. 2nd to that is the tunnel on Voyage with the tripple down. I love how it catches you out and without the tunnel you'd know it was coming.
cobra_roll06 Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Em probably either oblivion or the launch section on the incredible hulk love the zero-G roll right after the launch!!!
Airtime&Gravity Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Well it used to be Hades' tunnel, but that coaster has gone to hell, so my favorite tunnel would probably be Demons. Between the lights and water effects, the tunnel provides a good experience on an otherwise bad ride. Airtime-Does the long section of headchoppers on Viper count as a tunnel?-&Gravity
ScottBrown Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I must go with the SCBB Giant Dipper - great tunnel
Satoshi Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 japanese Cyclone would take you to the darkest spot ever in your coaster bio! yeah you get spun 'round 2 helices in the very darkness! soooo scary than you guess! wanna try? i mean Cyclone's in Toshimaen!
WildStangAlex Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Hades fo sho! A close second might be the beast.
Worm Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 I'm gonna have to say that the best tunnel is one that few people even knew of... ANACONDA! at gold reef city! just amazing for a invert to have a tunnel! espessialy a big 'rock' tunnel after the first drop!
Xme3 Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Raging Bull @ SFGAm - it's SO freaking loud when you go through it! Demon @ SFGAm - All the flashing lights inside make you feel dizzy and forget that you're riding a roller coaster. I totally agree!
Fry Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Colossus at Thorpe Park comes straight out of a loop, under a bridge, over an airtime hill and dives under the shop. the extra airtime makes it feel like you really are gonna hit it. Did we ride the same Colossus? Oblivion's tunnel is amazing, so dark and dank. Sheikra's is quite cool too, as is Hulk's out of the loop into a sheet of mist. Do un-underground tunnels count? If so, Hulk's launch and Xpress' launch tunnels are VERY cool, each make the launch feel that much better.
