Best coaster ride when raining

[Meteornotes]

Colossus in the rain during the TPR Europe trip last year was pretty insane.

Tonnerre De Zeus is the only ride I have really enjoyed in the rain. It hauled MAJOR ass.

^And a tree dumped water all over Dan!

Any indoor coaster...

I've only riden 2 coasters in the rain, Montu and Incredible Hulk.

I didn't really feel anything on Montu because it was just sprinkles.

Other than Montu, Incredible Hulk felt like needles in the rain.

I have had some really great rides on Beast and Diamondback in the rain.

 

Beast due to the fact it's wood, and wood reacts differently to weather than steel.

 

Diamondback sails through the trim on hill 5 when the pads are wet.

Roar at SFDK. It was a much wilder ride with some rare spots of ejector air.

El Toro was insane in the rain yesterday! I never had so much airtime on that ride.

I got to ride Manta and Kraken in the rain. That was pretty cool experience.

You haven't properly experienced Apollo's Chariot until you've been on it in the rain.

Legend, it was a rainy day and we were the only 3 people on the ride. The laterals made it feel like we would flip off the side on every turn.

All aboard the pain train.

 

I of course realize that there was nobody on the train and they would never allow anyone to ride this in the rain but could you imagine?

KRAKEN and SHEIKRA both in the rain were AMAZING!!! Flew passed both brake runs.

Bobsled at TGE. hahah You would probably die

[yay101]

Raging Bull in the rain was really good. The drop and every hill after the brake run produced massive airtime.

That wasn't even close to making it! Wonder why they would be testing Dragster when it was raining that hard, usually they close most of the rides when it's a light drizzle.

I've ridden Kingda Ka in rain before. When we got to the launch area it started slightly drizzling. I mean very slightly, like you would feel 1 drop every 10 seconds. It picked up a little when the launch was initiated and then about 2 seconds after the on-ride photo it turned into a heavy rain. It definitely hurt, not as bad as you would think rain at 130mph would feel, but not too far off. The worst of it was when you first start to ascend. Just head on into rain. I was in the front row but in the second row of seats so I didn't get the worst of it.

Last week we rode El Toro in the pouring rain 3 times, it was absolutely amazing.

Three years ago at La Ronde I had the honor of riding Goliath when it was raining so hard you could'nt see the river. I was shocked that they kept the ride open when it was raining so hard. Must have gotten 7 or 8 rides in under those conditions.

I can vouch for Thundercoaster at Tusenfryd after a good rain--it goes like a bat out of hell!

If the system is not launched after so long it powers itself down. By launching a train every so often during weather related downtimes the system is always ready to go.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pun intended...

Leviathan was awesome in the rain, even though the rain really hurt, it stung your face. But it was incredible with the fog casting over, so you could barely see the bottom of the first drop! Probably rode it 13 times in the rain, and it was awesome.

[slappybob]

Thunderhead, Tennessee Tornado, and Wild Eagle are all amazing in the rain! Plus those are the only roller coasters I've ever ridden in the rain.

The best ride I ever had on Thunderhead was in the rain.
