Mrenata Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 I'm gonna have to say Steel Eel. It's not the most amazing coaster, or the most intense coaster, but for sure is one of the most enjoyable coasters I've ever ridden. I rode it like 7 or 8 times in a row, by myself, in a foreign country and still had an amazing time riding it!
Coaster Curt Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Of the coasters I have ridden I have to go with Maverick now for overall smoothness it would have to be Millennium.
Aceattack52 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I would say the Hulk at IOA. Â 1) Good array of elements. 2) Set on the water (nice scenery) 3) Launch is exciting. 4) Direction changes in the middle of the ride surprise and catch you off guard. 5) Fairly long. How about a picture? Yeah! Why not?
cfc Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) ^If you can put up with getting your brains beaten in from time to time. I think Hulk is a good ride, but it's just too inconsistent. Edited February 4, 2013 by cfc
Koasterking48 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Millennium Force definitely. It may not be the best, but its smoothness makes it a great coaster to reride.
Musketeer Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I'd pick California Screamin' from DCA. It has everything I want in a coaster, a launch, a little airtime, it's pretty long and it goes upside down. Plus, since it's not the most wild ride I could see myself riding it when I get older!
3Mutts Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Skyrush at Hersheypark for me, the airtime on it is unlike anything I've every experienced before and it's my number one coaster.
Randomman295 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Wild Thing at Valleyfair. Probably one of the most re-ridable coasters in existence.
Nrthwnd Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Now that I have ridden it...  HKDL's Grizzly Gulch Runaway Mine Cars  It's fun, has some good speed in parts, the hills and launch are great, there's a quick airtime pop in there...  And assuming my body can't take it in later years, it'll be perfect! This part of it is great. Bunny hops, then air time into a speedy (sort of) figure eight.
Moose Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I like your last reason. I just wish it had a bit more airtime.
Aceattack52 Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 ^If you can put up with getting your brains beaten in from time to time. I think Hulk is a good ride, but it's just too inconsistent. Yeah I do agree with this, new trains could probably do it some good.
jzoole Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Boulder Dash. It has EVERYTHING that a good coaster has, not to mention the scenery. It also has a course that I don't think I could ever get bored with. Â Same for me!
Parallax Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Nitro at Great Adventure. El Toro may be my favorite, but Nitro is incredibly smooth and more "graceful".
Brassinthegrass Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 If it was the ONLY ride your aloud to ride for the rest of my life, El Toro  If it was "your never aloud to get off until you die" Griffon
daniellazarus Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Steel Dragon 2000 at Nagashima Spa Land would definitely be my choice, especially if I could ride it anytime in the front or the back seat.
2012jarrett Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Millennium Force. That thing is so smooth but can have drastic intensity changes depending on where you sit.
Schrecken Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Well, I'd have to choose from my all time favorite coasters (which are TTD, MF, El Toro and Skyrush), which would be a tough call. I'll rule out TTD, as I'm sure that would end up boring me after a while. All of the other three have a good deal of re-rideability, at least for me (and on Skyrush I pretty much have to stick to the center seats to get that re-rideability). MF is the furthest away of the three (I guess the question assumes you would have good access to the one coaster, wherever it is), so realistically that might narrow it down to the other two. Of those, I'd have to pick Skyrush, as I'd be a lot less likely to get bored with it, and since the wing seats offer a rather different ride experience than the center ones, it would provide the most variety of the three. That, and there are no inversions, which seem to get harder to deal with the older I get.
DanM64 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Wood- El Toro. Steel- Maverick. Overall- El Toro, because it's El Toro.
i<3coasters Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 If the ride is not subject to wear-and-tear in this mythical scenario, I would have go to with GhostRider as it existed in 1998-1999. Smooth woodie, great airtime, no trims on the mid-course, and a decent length. Â Runners-up would be: Gold Striker California Screamin' X2
rcjp Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Skyrush. It's not my all time favourite but I'm sure I would never get enough of it. It's just so wild!
Tanks4me05 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Skyrush. Back Left seat. The entirety of my legs might eventually turn purple from the bruising, but I won't care.
beastadat Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 If I have to pick a roller coaster to ride the rest of my life it would be the Wacky Worm. Steep Drops, Really fast, and a great ride in the front row. Who doesn't love wacky warms?
