Alexander Nagel Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Oh man how could of have forgotten The "World Famous" Lakeside Cyclone! And OH crap Dragon Mountain too! I really can't believe I didn't think of that at first. As for the "I had no idea the tunnel existed reward" that would go to Jack Rabbit at Seabreeze, Caroline Cyclone at Paramount's Carowinds, and also Giant Dipper at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

TombraiderTy Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 The Beast at Paramount Kings Island, you go through the same tunnel twice. It's awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMPP Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 For me Vampire at Chessington before over half of it was removed. It was so dark and small, I always thought it was going to hit the rockwork. A great illusion ruined, also it was a real supprise from a really fun ride to a black intense shock as the car swings right out and back in. Now its just like going under a flyover on a freeway, shame real shame. 2006 2006 pre 2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwerling Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Helix on Beast at PKI. The tunnel there is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookbaby Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Since no one ahs said it yet I'll go ahead and put it out there.... THE BEAST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't care if you love or hate the ride (I personally love it) but that last tunell around the double helix is awesome, makes theride along with therest of the 3 other tunels. But the helix rocks even with the magnetic trims I couldn't agree more! That thing is INSANE! It's so crazy loud in there as well! It's complete insanity and it's fabulous! I also enjoy the tunnel at the bottom of the Raven first hill... sure it's not the craziest, darkest, or longest... it's just plain fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownStreak Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 ^Note to self... must go to Seabreeze. I live about an hour away, and have never gone inside. I've taken pictures of Jack Rabbit from outside the park though. Silly me... and I never got to experience Quantum Loop. Seabreeze is absolutely tiny, but everytime I have visited, I have had a blast! And seriously, if you have never ridden Jack Rabbit there the last drop is an incredible surprise in the dark, which in and of itself is made even cooler (more cool?) by how old it is. Add that to their adorable wood-support wild mouse sorta thing, their ancient log flume complete with rapids(!), and sveral good thrill rides, this park is my favorite in New York! Oh and their spinning coaster gives incredible views of Lake Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragoncoaster1292 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 For me it's either The Beast, Volcano: The Blast Coaster, or the Coney Island Cyclone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chavslayer Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 I didnt know the Coney Island Cyclone had a tunnel. Where abouts on the ride is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShannonSomerville Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 The best tunnel for me is The Grizzly at PKD,and the two tunnels on SRoS at SFNE. SES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiderodes Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 im partial to a couple... - Desperado @ Buffalo Bills - The tunnel on the first drop...especially at night its like it swallows you up for a split second. - Big Thunder Mtn @ Disneyland - The last tunnel before the second lift. The way the track is angled it gives a good headchopper and comes up unexpectedly if you are in the back. Its really effective at night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedMonster Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hades at Mt. Olympus. Why? Because it's long and dark. 2nd pick, Goliath at SFMM, because it's so loud in there, what with the train echo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCOSurfer90 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I've been on the Coney Island Cyclone MANY times, and there is no tunnel on the ride anywhere. Anyway the best tunnel looks like Hades to me. I mean there's not one straight piece of track in that tunnel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satoshi Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Suppose i'm gonna chop my hands off at the 1st drop tunnel of SFMM Goliath? But if it real happens it'd end up in lawsuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 The Beast is definately up there, but there's nothing really in the tunnels except for the helix at the end (which was added after the ride was built), so I'd vote for Hades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulosthejackal Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Currently the tunnel on oblivion is pretty awsome, especially on one of the side seats - real 'side chopper' plus head and shoe chopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Manhattan Express' brake run tunnel, because it means that the ride is over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Hmm--based on my limited experience, I vote for the opening tunnel on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland--gotta love the colorful pools and bats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien666 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Out of all the coasters I have been on, Tremors takes the cake. The tunnels fit very well with the coasters theme and the first one is just fantastic. A steep drop into a small tunnel and right under and through the gift shop! They don't call it the Shake,Rattle and Roll gift shop for nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Um, I think you are all forgetting the Abandoned mine at Uncle Bernie's in Florida Uh for me a close second would have to be the SCBB Giant Dipper, but really there is no comparison to "Abandoned Mine" coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 In no particular order: Goliath at SFMM (the illusion with the offset roof as you enter the tunnel is one of the best headchoppers anywhere) All the Big Thunder Mountain Railroads (I hear that Paris' first tunnel is especially cool) Lakeside Cyclone Lightning Racers at Hersheypark (best hiding place for an onride camera) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Some of the more memorable tunnels I've experienced (in no particular orded): Dragon Mountain @ Marineland - The pitch black downhill descent into the butterfly inversion. Awesome! Hades @ Mt. Olympus - Obviously. The Beast @ Kings Island - All of the ride's tunnels are pretty cool, but the last one stands out as the best, even though it's a bit rough. Magnum @ Cedar Point - The tunnels add a great effect to the ride, especially the misty last one. Others I like include: Legend & Raven @ HW; Minebuster @ PCW; and the Demon @ SFGAm.
