kidcoaster Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 My top two is 1. The one on the Bluestreak ( I like to flash on and off the lights in the tunnel and It freaks out some people.) 2. The two one Dragon Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwantRevenge Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Goliath at at SFMM....it looks so small from the drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 SheiKra's tunnel has a nice headchopper at the bottom. As for worst tunnel, I would say Twister II at SFEG, it seems like it was just "plopped" there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoryPa77 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I think Hades has to be the best tunnel I've ever been on, probably by far even. I just wish they wouldn't have replaced the soft PTC padding with the hard G-train style padding. It makes that tunnel run pretty uncomfortable, or the whole ride for that matter. When was the padding replaced anyway? I know in the pictures I've seen from '05 it still had the original pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytoremember Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I don't think Hades is painful in any sense, but I do agree that it would be nice to have that plush PTC padding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I also have to add, Raging Bull's tunnel is pretty intense. The sudden change in confines hits you with this giant wall of air - it's great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytoremember Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 ya, Raging Bulls was pretty good. It reminded me alot of Goliath at magic mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoosh Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Personally I love both Zambezi Zinger's and Orient Express's tunnels the best. Zambezi Zinger finished with a crazy long tunnel that took you to a sudden stop at the end of the ride. Orient Express on the other hand started with a tunnel which led to the chain lift -- which was a very neat effect and one that is missed dearly. ---- Now that I think about it, would Expedition Everest count? I like going backwards through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
restoca Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I strongly agree with many that have been mentioned: Zinger, SFNE Superman, and the obvious Voyage and Hades. I didn't see any mention of the original Elitch's Twister. The Knoebel's Twister has a good replica, but the original was somehow more effective. Speaking of Knoebel's, I love the curvey tunnel of the Phoenix from the station to the lift. Perfectly pitch dark at noon or night. original Elitch's Twister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDragon Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Oblivions definately comes first. the hole seems so small from the top, if you get one of the outer seats (the frthest one away as you board preferably), it feels as if you are going to hit the ground! i also like the little tunnel on N:I purely because its a 180* banked drop and turn, then you hit a layer of mist which, when going through the tunnel and going up the lift hill, seems to make you get hotter and feels as if you are being burnt. i love the tunnel on Air... not! *edit* and what someone el;e said about The Vampire's tunnel, it was an amazing tunnel until they had to cut half of it off due to the floorless trains. from the corner before the drop, it looked as if the track just stopped and it was a brick wall, you'd do a massive dive into the cave and see a massive flashing light (on-ride photo). it felt as if you were actually being attacked by a vampire or something, then you woud come flying round a corner and feel as if you were going to clip the end of the tunnel. now you just go under a bridge... its still fairly impressive, with the speed and all, you swing quite high. if you sit on the furthest away seat in the station with someone who's heavier than you in the other seat, you feel at that part as if you were going to scrape your feet on the wall. it always makes me retract me feet very slightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwantRevenge Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 The tunnel in the beginning of Space mountian (Florida) with the blue lights and the mirror and right before the mirror you turn....the mirror always fools me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 My favorites: The headchopper tunnel on BTMR at WDW. The great pop of airtime followed immediately by the tunnel = brilliance. Hulk. The soundtrack plays perfectly into the anticipation of one of the greatest launches around. Both tunnels of Space Mountain at WDW. They never get old for me. Voyage's triple down. In the pitch black night = priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Easy- Daddy's Beaufitul GIrl- The Loch Ness Monster, BG:TOC/BGW/BGE... Nothing beats a long, winding, cool and funky smelling tunnel like her- still a stunner after all these years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytoremember Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I have to agree with beemer on Voyage's tripple down tunnel. That is my all time favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no_brain_er Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Titan @ SFOT. 250 feet down is a black dot. Doesn't get much bigger until you're through it. I felt like I was going to die. Mostly because it was my first time on, and I was riding in the very front with my crazy cousin because she made me sit there. ANYWHO, good tunnel.

weatherkid17 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Well, I have multiple ones, but in the order of ones that come to mind: 1) Hades (Mt.Olympus) 2) Rattler (SFFT) 3) Mr. Freeze (SFOT) 4) Titan (SFOT) I am suprised I havent seen much Rattler.

mmousefan Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 The waterfall and falling rocks tunnels of BigThunder Mountain, the light tunnel of space mountain and the launch tunnel of hulk. Those are the only coaster tunnel ive been on. But they are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sound Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 This probably doesn't count, but the tunnel, or enclosed section (which is probably more correct) at the start of Superman Escape (Australian Version) rocks! The themeing is cool, and the water coming from the sewerage pipe during the earthquake is awesome! The tunnel coming off the second drop is pretty cool as well, you really feel like you could hit your head! Plus there's all of the steam that comes down on you.

chmilo24 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 my favorite tunnels: Hades in tunnel 90 degree turn Giant Dipper Tunnel Entrance @ SCBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterjoe1233 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 The only tunnel on a roller coaster that I have been on is Minebuster, At PCW. I really like how fast you enter and exit it at fast speeds. I really enjoy it because it has a loud, cluastraphobic effect as the sound ricochets off the walls and everybody is screaming in the background, It has that classic coaster kind of ending( I still like this ride even though the hills were retro fitted with the curved tops of the hills But I still enjoy it. Plus, I have only been on 28 coasters so I Have only a Few choices to make.) I can't wait to ride Magnum because there is an aritime hill right in the tunnel, and from a video I have seen it looks like it gives a mighty powerful punch of airtime in the pitch blackness of it all.

coastermaniac123 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Just take a look at my avatar, then you will see why S:ROS has an amazing tunnel. Head choppers, red neon lights, Speed!, and there used to be mist. Bad side, it's way to short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoosh Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Oh come one, I still say this was the best tunnel ever! Zambezi Zinger at Worlds of Fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
