mike541x Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Worst: Adventure Express/Ninja (SFMM) (anything that goes right into the station from a lifthill) Agreed. Best is Big Bad Wolf becuase of the last drop and the curves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 ^LOL! "Now you will pay, Now you will pay"...yes by going up the lifthill, exiting the ride, and having to go wait in another huge crappy line at PKI!!! Even though the quote is over a year old....AMEN! LOL Best - Millennium Force: Airtime hill and then overbank turn! 2nd Best - Mantis: Insane spaggetti bowl finale And of course the Beasts' double helix of awesomenessss BORG Assimalator'sdouble corkscrew is awesome....laying backwards head first! Worst - ADVENTURE EXPRESS! And you alwayyysss get stuck in that tunnel!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvcoasterguy Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Best: - Iron Wolf: It may be a rough ride, but if you look at the design of this insane last section, it is quite incredible. And, if you can snag a smooth ride on it, you'll see how truly insane and fun the final section is. Lamest: - Ice Dragon (IOA): Boo to boring, slow turns. Totally breaks the ride for me.

IceDragon Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 mmmm... best: Colosus at Thorpe Park: 4 interjoined inline twists connected to a bank turn into a small airtime hill and through another inline twist barely 7/8ft above the ground at 15mph worst: Mighty Mini Mega at southend: a massive, unnessecary brake run that takes 2 mins to get down :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Out of the rides I have been on... Best New Rollercoaster May not be the best to everyone else but its good for its size, a nice little airtime hill, I was terrified when I was a little kid of it! Worst The Ultimate Dull turn into an uneeded lift hill (But still one of my favorite coasters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 The first that come to mind are- BEST- ~River King Mine Train (SFStL)- The ride overall is horrible, but the ending dive into the pitch black tunnel rocks! ~Batman the Ride- Damn that thing never lets up. The final helix into the brake run, following the awesome wing overs, is devine! ~Gemini- Do I really need to explain? Its just awesome! WORST- ~Iron Dragon- An anti-climactic ending to an anti-climactic ride.... sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorBoyASU Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Best: Goliath at Walibi..... awesome bunny hops into a fast 180 into the breaks. AWESOME Worst: Adventure Express I guess. ALthough the part right before the lift hill is still really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I haven't been on a lot of coasters, so TPR videos are my main source. Favorites: (Wood) Balder and the Voyage - two coasters that look absolutely perfect in a video... beginning to end. Unfortunately, I've never been to their parks. Shivering Timbers - the second half of that ride looks absolutely insane. Just wish it had The Voyage's great scenery. (Steel) Colossus (Thorpe Park) - The quad heartline roll with one more at the end for good measure makes this a ride I'd like to go on if I ever get to go to the UK. SheiKra - that water splash looks awesome both in the on- and off-ride versions of your POV. Flight of Fear's final corkscrew. That ride made me so dizzy that after the brake run, I got out of the train and could hardly walk. I'd also count Black Mamba, but I think that whole ride's amazing; again, if I ever get to visit the park, I'd love to ride it. Least favorite: (Wood) Probably the Rattler, if I remember correctly... it really slows to a crawl at the end. (Steel) Adventure Express - I don't like coasters with more than one lift hill anyway, but a lift hill into the ending?! Volcano - the last drop goes into a brake run? Pepsi Max Big One - I agree with tour2ma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...coasters... Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I can remember one of my most PAINFUL (is that kind of close to lame?) endings... that dubious honor goes to Raptor at CP... It kinda just jerks you back into the station. I loved the ride though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo210 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Here are the best and lamest endings on a coaster: Best: Yankee Cannonball: Airtime all the way into the breaks! Apollo's Chariot: Just like the Yankee Cannonball! LNM: A vertical loop, and a little airtime! T-bolt: Airtime! Worst: Canobie Corkscrew: boring turn to end this horrible ride!

coasterguy618 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Best El Toro. It never lets up. Apollo's Chariot. Those bunny hills are breath taking. Worst Hydra. A boring no airtime hill and a turn. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraxleRIDAH Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Some of favorite coaster endings: Tatsu --- a disorienting and high-flying inline twist into a high-G helix more than 100-feet above the ground below. WOW. Talk about a strong finish. Gemini --- very tight helix with deadly-looking headchoppers. Some of my least favorite coaster endings: Raptor --- that turn coming out of the final helix into the brake run is SO bad. I don't understand it. The rest of the ride is practically flawless. Xcelerator --- hitting the brakes at a downward slope at approximately 60 mph says two things. (1) Ow. (2) What a waste of speed and potentially longer ride. Ninja --- No need for any kind of explanation. Probably the West Coast's most anti-climatic finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNRC Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 BEST: Goliath: Three airtime-filled bunny hops. WORST: X:/no way out: Stopping and rolling down a little hill backwards onto the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Best: Stunt Fall and the Deja Vu's because going back up that spike is just soo fun. Worst: Vekoma Boomerangs because they stop really sudden and it just hurts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexTitan01 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Best: Texas Giant, you get such a fast pace through those last fewe turns and hills it feels like the rides about to crumble to the ground! Worst: Great Bear, twist -> cork -> boring turns; just didnt do it for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrakenKing Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Best: Kumba's Helix Goliath (SfoG) Bunny hop Deja Vu Back Spike Worst: Ninja (SFoG) OUCH! Dueling Dragon's Ice... slow and boring Hulk... WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNRC Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Another brilliant end to a coaster is Colossus at Thorpe Park. 5 cobra rolls in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calaway Park Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Best: Mindbender Canada! HiiIIighhHH GeeEe HeelliIIxxX Worst: Vortex in Calaway Park: Drop, turn, corkscrew, turn, brakes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chmilo24 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Worst: Medusa-SFMW, sharp turn, brake ME-NYNY casino, painful dips into building Best: Top Gun-PGA, corkscrew and helix over the water Giant Dipper-SCBB, airtime bunny hills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Best - Tatsu (Pretzel loop, followed by dizzying inline twist and turn) Worst - Xcelerator (awesome launch and top hat followed by mediocre overbanks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Considering I haven't been on much.. Best: SROS NE - I like the helix's and hills, and its really powerful. Worst: Alpengeist and Great Bear - I don't really care for Alpengeist's forceless helix at the end, or the last turn that goes really slow. Maybe I caught it on bad days, but it really didn't do it for me. Great Bear, after the cork is really slow and boring as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
