Your favorite coaster tunnel

Cp fanboy says:

 

I'd have to say Millenium Force.

 

Yeah because tin tunnels are flippin amazing.

 

I'd either have to say Hades, Loch Ness, Stunt Track (KD & KI) and Anaconda because of the whole underwater aspect.

 

Does Flight of Fear count?

 

*And that wasn't intended towards B&M I'm just sick of hearing about CP this CP that Zomg CP so yeah*

I gotta go with either Voyage's triple down, or Hulk's launch.

^^No offense taken I think that Cedar Point is one of the most overrated parks in the world (where's the Golden Ticket award for that?) But of what very little rides I've been on with tunnels, MF was one of the best. Unless you include the turn-around at the start of Psyclone...which was the only smooth part of the ride.

[Vffreak07]

Oh I see where you're coming from (and I agree too!) Sorry bout that!

[CoasterLover]

Not sure I could pick just one... certianly some of my top include...

 

-Stunt Coaster (KI, KD, CW)

-Voyage's tripple down

-Grizzley (KD) (it's that unexpected hop right in the middle that makes it good)

-The Beast's second tunnel

 

Phoenix's tunnel also holds a special place for me, but I'm not sure I would put it as one of the best...

Voyage's "Triple" down wins out-right.

[odene497]

I like Phoenix's tunnel during night ERT when everyone has glowsticks.

I have got to go with Air! Hands down!

 

No, in all seriousness, I have got to go with Oblivion. The best ever use of a tunnel EVER! Vertical (nearly) drop into a mist hidden tunnel. Fantastic, scary and thrilling. The noise and whoosh when the train as it enters the tunnel is simply stunning!

[MASH80554077]

My clear winner is Hades. It was just amazing. My least favorite is Loch Ness Monster, it goes through so slow that the spinning makes me nauseous

[TheCoasterCritic]

Voyage's triple down in the dark is sick! But, I'd have to go with Hades tunnel on the way out:

 

As you tear through the dark at 70 mph the train banks and dips as it tries to throw you around like a rag doll. You can't see a thing, but I could've sworn I saw some red eyes down there. It's insane! Did I mention that this coaster lived up to its name? As you start to see light breaking through at the other end, you realize that the train is not right side up. You climb up the wall and ride along it, but because of the darkness and speed you can't even tell.

 

Hands down the best tunnel anywhere!

I've only been on one or two coasters with a 'real' tunnel.

 

So I'm gonna have to go with Goliath at SFMM, because the first time I went on it, I'm just like "Wait.. Where does the track come UP?" right before the drop, and then the ultimate headchopper in my opinion.

I think one of the coolest tunnels was on Lightning Racer at Hersheypark. In the day, it's kinda blah, but the first time i rode was at night i arrived, and i didn't expect all the flashing lights. It was alot like lightning, (i think it was just the on ride photo flashing, and i'm not sure if it was intended to be lightning, but it works.) But anyways it was pretty sweet

[Killwize]

The first one on Tremors is freaking awesome, although the 2nd one you enter during airtime.

[Killwize]

I like Phoenix's tunnel during night ERT when everyone has glowsticks.

 

 

We can't all be that lucky!

[PKI Jizzman]

If it counts...Space Mountain's lift hill! (The one where those red and black spinny things come down) It's so awesome. I seriously f'ing love that ride.

I really like the end tunnel on Big Thunder Mountain at Paris Disneyland, you get hauling some "A" in that thing!!!

[FeelTheFORCE]

Mine is a tie between the Beast and Tremors. Tremors is cool because the "tunnel" goes right through the gift shop.

[krakenman13]

Hades without a doubt.

[BuschSchoe]

I don't know if this is considered a "tunnel", but I love the small tunnel you fly through on Alpengeist, right before the cobra roll.

It totally gets you by surprise the first time you ride it.

[SeaWhippet]

Ok, I guess I should jump in here. THE best tunnel on a operational coaster is -- without equal -- the SCBB Giant Dipper. Such a steep entrance and then all that swirling and winding in the darkness. Pure brilliance! Thanks, Fred Church.

 

The finale of the Coney Island Shooting Star (my first big woodie) was complete insanity. So much speed at the end of the circuit. It was amazing incredibly LOUD.

 

Honorable mention should go to the Rocky Springs Wildcat. Though I never rode this one, I did walk the entire track in the mid-80s and I can't imagine how much fun that crazy 500-foot tunneled trip down into the ravine must've been. Especially in those big 4-bench PTC cars. Schmeck was a wicked, wicked man.

Like so many others have said, Hades, no question. Inside of that pitch black tunnel is nothing but speed and chaos. No other coaster I've been on has come close. Though I would give honorable mention to SFMM's Goliath...nothing like diving 255 ft at 85 mph into a small tunnel like that...always a rush

[Kalepi_Konei]

Well...I've only been on a few rides with tunnels.

 

ShieKra

Hulk

Expedition Everest

Space Mountain

Big Thunder Mountain

 

And that's all I can think of but out of those the best tunnels have to be on....

 

Hulk

Space Mountain

 

And as for tunnels on any coaster that I haven't ridden I'd say....

 

Hades

Tremors

Beast

I really like the end tunnel on Big Thunder Mountain at Paris Disneyland, you get hauling some "A" in that thing!!!

 

I have to second this. While the first tunnel was great, that final tunnel was the wildest ride in the wilderness. It would only be imporved if the train had the momentum to get over that hill coming out of the tunnel a little faster, but all and all a great happy ending to a great ride.

[Killwize]

...But I also love when a coaster lunches in to a tunnel and drops in the dark right off the station. Like on an old Woodie.

[hipbrianhop]

I think the Hulk will be the best tunnel on a coaster, althought I never rided it.

But I think the theming of Space Mountain paris will beat The Hulk, but space mountain has this stupid brake on top of the hill. And the magnum has several tunnels that rock to. Difficult competition
