Which park has the best 1..2..3 wooden coaster punch?

[CoasterEricHP]

The question is... Which park has the best combination of 3 wooden coasters?

 

I know a lot of people would like to say Holiday World for this one, but seeing as the Voyage is just a pile of steel and wood at the moment.. that doesnt count yet!

 

Here are the choices:

 

Paramount Kings Island: The Beast, Son of Beast, Racer.

 

Hersheypark: Lightning Racer, Wildcat, Comet.

 

Kennywood: Racer, Thunderbolt, Jack Rabbit.

 

Geauga Lake: Big Dipper, Villian, Raging Wolf Bobs.

 

Indiana Beach: Cornball Express, Hoosier Hurricane, LoCoSuMo.

 

Paramount Kings Dominion: Hurler, Grizzly, Rebel Yell

 

Paramount Canada's Wonderland: Minebuster, Scooby's, Wild Beast.

 

Paramount Carowinds: Fairly Odd Coaster, Hurler, Thunder Road.

 

 

I think I hit all the big ones.. I only did North America (sorry BPB'ers) .

Do you mean punch to the kidneys?

[Kroger8]

Im going to say Carowinds because thats the only park on the list I have been to, but I would bet that Hersheypark will be #1.

[SharkTums]

MT. OLYMPUS!!!!!!

 

But since that's not an option I voted NONE OF THE ABOVE...bring on Blackpool!!!!

[robbalvey]

I also voted "none of the above" since Mt. Olypus clearing has this covered with Cyclops, Zeus, and Hades!

I voted Kennywood.

 

Hersheypark defintely has the most potential of the parks listed, but the Comet's braking and the Wildcat's fussiness keeps me from voting for them.

 

Next year, I will have to assume that Holiday World will have them all beat.

[robbalvey]

I also think Michigan's Adventure has a slight edge over most of those options since Shivering Timbers beats most everything on that list.

[SharkTums]

Some people would count SFKK.

[USRoadTripper]

Had to vote Kennywood, hands down. All three of their woodies are in my woodie top 10. Never been to Hershey though. And if we're talking punch to the kidneys, that would definitely be Canada's Wonderland!!!

BPB for me. Nash, Dipper, Mouse..

 

In reality however there's too many parks to choose from. Hershey is good (though the coaster that should be the best has that nasty check brake ) and Kennywood is up there too. If only Knoebels would pick a defunct plan from the PTC archives to rebuild, lots to choose from.. they could have the best three too! *dreamy*

ST in its earlier days, maybe. But if youve been to IB and ridden Cornball after 10pm the thing has ridiculous airtime. Ive never been slammed into buzzbars that hard before on several of the hills, its quite insane.

 

However I agree with the HW statement - next year the only 2 parks I think that would stand out would be Mt. Olympus and HW. What a collection between the two.

[robbalvey]

You can only hope that Silverwood and Knoebel's will follow suit.

 

Of course, I would much rather see two great woodies and an Expedition GeForce over three woodies, but that's just my personal choice!

Yeah, I'd say BPB as well.

 

Don't forget that Holiday World will have 3 awesome woodies next year as well... 8)

Exacly what I was gonna say...I dont enjoy Zues (I get no air on it ) But Cyclops is #1 on my wood list, while Hades is #3. Need I say anymore?

Just curious, which park has the *most* wooden coasters?

[Shockwave]

I think it's Blackpool PLeasure Beach.

 

They have 5 different wooden coasters - they used to have 6, but Vikingar is now SBNO.

Of all time, I would have to think it was Riverview Park in Chicago.

[DerekRx]

I also chose "other" because while Zeus isn't top notch, its a heck of a lot better than the "worst" of any of the 3 at the parks listed. Blackpool would be a close 2nd.

[CoasterEricHP]

I knew I was going to miss one! Is there anyway you can edit Mt. Olympus in there somehow Robb/Elissa?

PKD for me. I grew up with The Rebel Yell,Grizzly(which,by the way,is running very good this year),and Hurler(needs some work done,IMO).Hersheypark has some good woodies too. Take care SES

[Nitro X 230]

Holiday World '06

 

Voyage, Raven, Legend

[coasterguy618]

Hershey Park. Only park i've been to on the list. Plus, i love all of thier woodies.

[spike]

Ok, I'm Canadian and Its my home park , So Paramount Canadas Wonderland it is. I realize that most really hate this park, But I dont care what everone else thinks, I have a blast evertime I go there. So there, I'm the first and prob the only one to vote for it. LOL. That poor park.

[M_Force_4_ever]

I voted other for a tie between (like Robb said) Mt.Olympus and Michigan's Adventure and I'd imagine that Holiday World next season would own all.

[SonOfBeastSucks]

I would have to say PKI... I despise SoB but I think Racer is decent and the Beast has been my favroite wooden coaster forever. Also, if we are considering Mich Adv to have three woddies with Zachs Zoomer, then that would make PKI have 4 woodies, with the Beastie.
