Ride Bucket List


Recommended Posts

USA

1) Fury 325

2) Lightning Rod

3) Outlaw Run

4) New Texas Giant

5) Iron Rattler

6) Joker (SFDK)

7) Twisted Colossus

8) Storm Chaser

9) Banshee

10) Valravn

 

Outside USA

1) Expedition GeForce

2) Blue Fire

3) Balder

4) Goliath

5) Medusa Steel Coaster

6) Helix

7) Lost Gravity

8) Shambhala

9) Troy

10) Schwur des Kärnan

 

Yes! Yes! Yes! Perfect list of some of the best rides out there. I would only make two small adjustments and replace Triy withFirmula Rissa and medusa with Wildfire.

 

I just have to say that I love how you actually posted corrections to someone's personal bucket list, as if their choices were somehow "wrong". I'm sure he will change his plans accordingly now.....

 

As for my bucket list:

 

U.S. Coasters:

Lightning Rod (sooo close, yet soooo far!)

Storm Chaser

Lightning Run

Outlaw Run

Superman (SFNE)

Wicked Cyclone

Fury 325

Boulder Dash

New Texas Giant

Iron Rattler

 

Outside the U.S. Coasters:

Wildfire*

Expedition GeForce*

(*NOTE: Those 2, for me, are probably the very definition of "bucket list" coasters!!)

Balder

T Express

Colossos

Goliath

iSpeed

ANY Mega-Lite

Formula Rossa/Flying Aces

Medusa Steel Coaster

 

Keep in mind, these are all subject to change once Henry M reviews my list for accuracy and correctness!

Why does Nemesis keep coming up. Yeah, it is a good ride but it certainly does not beat the RMC collection or Mack, and the ride is simply too short to be good enough. Also the harness' are different to the usual B&M harnesses, which means that when head banging occurs (which it does) it is more painful than it should be. Honestly, the harnesses are ROCK solid, no sponginess at all!

 

That's the first time I've ever heard anyone complain about Nemesis. It's been consistently ranked higher than 12 every single year on the Mitch poll and most people prefer the old school restraints anyways. It's on my personal wish list too and for good reason.

Nah, I prefer those type of restraints to the modern best ones like Swarm, but these ones are coated in a solid white paint. Rankings are not the most important thing, Helix is an awesome coaster and has not been up there. Don't get me wrong it is a great ride, but not a bucket list ride.

Nemesis is on my personal bucket list because of awesome theming, being an incredible park, and the fact that if I'm riding it, then I'm in England! Making a trip to the British Isles is a bucket list item for me in itself.

I'm sure if you live there, it's not as exciting. For me, England and Ireland are the home of my ancestors. America is such a collection of everywhere and everyone, which is awesome in itself. But I want to see where I come from.

I knew of Nemesis for awhile, before I actually rode it on a TPR Tour back in 2006.

 

Totally blew me away, from the queue snaking underneath the track, to that

loop right beside the station, with the blood red water underneath.

 

I loved it and went on it again and again and again.

Haha. I meant that for my own personal one, I would change that to match my own. When you say Colossus though, you must not mean the Thorpe Park one?

While there are a number of rides in addition to this that would be swell to get to at one point or another, these are the top remaining major coasters I would reeeeally really like to ride in my lifetime, the ones I would consider going substantially out of my way for. They are all outside of the US. I know some of them are weird choices, but these hold the most appeal for me.

 

Expedition Geforce

Wildfire (Kolmarden)

Pyrenees

Wood Coaster (Knight Valley)

Anaconda (Gold Reef City)

Flying Aces

Tonnerre de Zeus

Sky Car (Mysterious Island)

Dragon Khan

Wild Train (Fantasiana)

What I'm working toward in the next couple years:

Sky Rush

Phantom's Revenge

El Toro

 

 

If you're ever out here don't hesitate to hit any of us up!

 

I don't really focus my trips and bucket list around specific coasters, but rather areas of the country. I really want to do a Texas trip at some point (SFOT, SFFT, SWSA, etc), and my California trip to visit my sister in San Francisco will knock out CGA, SFDK, and SCBB. Rikki and I are thinking about going to the Netherlands for our honeymoon, so if that happens, Walibi Holland and Efteling are definitely on the agenda.
