Vffreak07 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorchomp83 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I gotta go with either Voyage's triple down, or Hulk's launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 ^^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 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Oh I see where you're coming from (and I agree too!) Sorry bout that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterLover Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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...

verticalzero Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Voyage's "Triple" down wins out-right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odene497 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I like Phoenix's tunnel during night ERT when everyone has glowsticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason10 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoasterCritic Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewheeled999 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jslim39 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killwize Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 The first one on Tremors is freaking awesome, although the 2nd one you enter during airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killwize Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I like Phoenix's tunnel during night ERT when everyone has glowsticks. We can't all be that lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 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. -JZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montezooma Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I really like the end tunnel on Big Thunder Mountain at Paris Disneyland, you get hauling some "A" in that thing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Mine is a tie between the Beast and Tremors. Tremors is cool because the "tunnel" goes right through the gift shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuschSchoe Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaWhippet Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 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. -Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DegoRed Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalepi_Konei Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 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 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 ...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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipbrianhop Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 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.
