gci2011 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Best- Â Phoenix! The airtime is amazing! A great ride altogether, too. Â Worst- Â Great Bear's ending does nothing. Nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Best:  Raging Bull's figure-8 ending The Beast's insane double helix Phoenix's bunny hops of airtime Gemini's helices, which are a bit forceful River King Mine Train's tunneled drop Seabreeze's Jack Rabbit's tunneled drop Darien Lake's RoS' last three hills of airtime Phantom's Revenge's entire section next to the station to the end Villain's double up into the brakes Big Bad Wolf's second half The Voyage's pass through the queue line under the station to the end  Worst:  Adventure Express Dorney's Thunderhawk with that brake right before the ending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-RadG Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Best- Carolina Cyclone- crazy hella forceful helix. Vortex (Kings Island)- forceful helix with laterals. Afterburn- sudden Corkscrew into a death helix. Wild One- messed up unbanked helix. Flight of Fear/Joker's Jinx- Corkscrew into the brakes. Magnum XL-200- violent airtime then a little bit after the initial brake run. Beast- beastly helix followed by an airtime hill. Â Worst- Great Bear- pointless rolling around til you get close enough to the station. Adventure Express- gotta love terrain coasters that go too far down to make it back to the station. Mantis- ridiculous amount of pointless banking changes that hurt. Batwing/Firehawk- double in-line twists that shuffle real bad with a boring-ass helix. Volcano- you're expecting something exciting... nope. Just brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydraglow Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 BEST: Tatsu - Inline twist into "high" helix is great. Â WORST: Wicked - After MCBR is absolutely pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericm95 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Best: Manta- Love that splashdown effect Tatsu- Gotta love high helixes Goliath- Intense helix Batman clones- Fast corkscrew and turn=intense! Goldrusher- The helix and hill into the brake run is really fun... while the rest is kind of boring Roar(SFDK)- Just love the whole ride it never lets up. That's all i can think of for best. Â Worst: Colossus SFMM- After the MCBR the ride is pretty boring especially that slow turnaround ( I sware I can walk faster than the ride was going on that turn) Revolution SFMM- That brake after the tunnel makes the ending slow California Screamin'- I don't know why but besides the launch the ride bored me Ghostrider- I was feeling more pain than I was airtime Pony Express- Let me just say the whole ride is pointless! Xcelerator- Those two overbanked turns again I find pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightypotato Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I don't know why everyone is saying Adventure Express has the worst ending. It's so full of cheesy pointlessness, it comes full circle from bad to awesome. Â When I was on it this summer, I was super confused, but was laughing my butt off and loving every minute of it.

angryemobeaver Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Best: Mindbender- Loop into tunnel into turn into brakes! Flight of Fear- Awesome hangtime Cornball Express- Best moment of airtime ever into lateral filled turn! Beast- Only good part of the ride... Whizzer- Low to the ground helix of death!!! Patriot- The transition from the helix to the brakes provides amazing airtime! Prowler- Triple down until crazy turns! Dahlonega Mine Train/Carolina Goldrush- Scary airtime drop! Montu- Trenches! Nighthawk/Firehawk- Zero-gravity roll Tony Hawk's Big Spin/Spinning Dragons- Airtime into tight helix Legend- Four corners! Mystery Mine- HANGTIME!  Worst: Adventure Express- You will pay... Racer- Lets waste a couple hundred feet of track that could be used for airtime and make it a mile long brake run.. Magnum- The random high turns after the brakes make me lol Gemini- Ouch GASM(SFOG)- SLAM into the brakes SheiKra/Diamondback- Oooooo water!!! Voyage- Best coaster ever but the ending kinda hurts Mad Mouse(MA)- WTF Galaxi(IB)-WTF Boss- Hills with no airtime  All I can think of as of now...

KingB24 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Best (no particular order): Superman: Ride of Steel @ Six Flags America Batwing @ Six Flags America Volcano @ Kings Dominion Apollo's Chariot @ Busch Gardens Williamsburg Backlot Stunt Coaster @ Kings Dominion  Worst: Shockwave @ Kings Dominion Wild One @ Six Flags America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire2box Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Worst endings....... -Medusa SFMW  Six Flags Marine world (now Discovery Kingdom) is my home park, I don't see how Mudusa has one of the worst endings of a roller coaster, sure the loops and stuff get smaller near the end but that last loop seems to be banked quite a bit and it rushes blood into my head every time.  I think Kong or Tony Hawks Big spin ( both at the same park) have worser endings then Medusa.. Though Kong is the worst rollercoaster I been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Baby Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I have to agree that the worst ending ever for a coaster is the Adventure Express at Kings Island. You go up the final lift hill surrounded by big ass things that look like they are banging on drums and once you go over the top, the ride is done. As bad as an ending it has, its hilarious going through it. I laugh so hard everytime I ride it and have tears rolling down my cheeks. As for best coaster ending, I will have to think about it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Best Batman The Ride Clones: never ending speed till the end plus insane backseat g-forces on the corksrews (almost lost a shoe ) SWSDJourney To Atlantis: banking drop, unbraked blockbrakes, banked curve, unacceptable ammount of wetness splashdown Gold Rusher: ending helix is classic Top Gun (Flight Deck ) CGA: corkscrew followed by near 90 degree banking turn into brake run Magnum XL 200: airtime hills  Good Blue Streak: airtime pop makes it worth while Vortex CGA: the ride never lets up and the final corkscrew is a bit of a surprise Terminator The Ride: flythrough followed by dipping curves makes it a great exprience  Bad Tatsu: Yay midcourse braking....WHAT! ITS OVER?! Ninja: Chain to station !yay! Deja Vu: sure make us sit in a painful postion as you slowly lower us into the station Goliath SFMM: SO much speed wasted in the midcourse brakerun...it ruins the second half of the ride Superman The Escape: what happened to my 6 seconds of weightlessness?  Horrible X2: bad raven turn and wasted speed Viper SFMM: PAIN Disaster Transport: We've arrived...IN ALASKA Scream: Rattley Mirror Clone Parking Lot Coaster With No Theme...yeah Demon CGA: painful ending helix Grizzly CGA: Voted Worst Roller Coaster In the World 15 Years IN A ROW!

AndCamSS Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Best-Beast- beastly helix followed by an airtime hill. Â What airtime hill?? LOL Â I like Beast a lot but the closest thing to an air hill on it is the 2nd drop in the back of the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) BEST: •Miler Wild Mice-Scary @ss headchopper followed by tight helix. •Giovanola hypers-Even going really slow, those helicies are intense. •Intamin 10 loopers-All b-rolls! •DLRP BTM-Twisty, fast and DARK! •Arrow suspended coasters-You're WHIPPED into the brakes! •Coasters with splashdowns-Matterhorn, B&M divers, etc. •DLR Space Mountain-I still can't predict when it's the last turn to the left. •Coasters that end in tunnels. •Gold Rusher-Boring until the OMFG helix!  WORST: •Lakeside Cyclone-Just kind of boring; no forces, no air... •Any coaster with lifts at the end. •Twister II at Elitch's-The finale's okay, but it brakes too hard. •Zamperla Volares-Evil, EVIL things... •SLCs with no bonus helix. •Santa Monica's coaster-BOOORING! •Adventure Express-So corny, it's almost good! •Shuttle coasters-It's just the same thing backwards...

chrguy606 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I think that the best ending was the magic carpet section of the texas giant. The worst.......hmmm, probably alpengeist. Although I love the ride, after that last inversion, the helix kinda kills it for me. No real speed through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. cockblock Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Any coaster that ends with a lift hill is a lame ending in my book so for me the worst has to be Ninja at SFMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zingoman Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I don't understand the complaint of a chainlift at the end of a coaster. The coaster ends AT THE BOTTOM. The lift doesn't count as part of the end of the ride. All the talk about Adventure Express, nobody seems to consider that while yeah, maybe it fakes a lot of people out, once you know what's up, I consider all the whacky theming on the lift to be the finale. That ride is fantastic up to that point, and wouldn't you all be complaining if it was just a plain naked lift at the end? Come on. At least they dressed it up, and did a great job at that. And finally, would you all rather walk back to the station? The lift is doing your legs a favor. (sorry for the rant. I have this arguement with my friends a lot. haha)  Best ending, Texas Giant, Voyage, The Beast, Cyclops  Worst: Alpengeist, Mean Streak, Frontier City Wildcat, Rattler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterKidKyle Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but Intimidator 305 has a pretty good ending. That intense twist hill into the breaks is awesome. It is one of the most intense twists and its a good finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbia Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Best Endings: Top Gun (AKA Flight Deck) - California's Great America. A very tight flat spin followed by a tight helix just "inches" off the water. Â Gemini - Cedar Point Also a really intense helix finale. Â The Beast - Kings Island Who would have thought a very large double helix would be some damn intense! Â Worst Endings: Mean Streak - Cedar Point It just sorta ended - no drama - with a big waste of real estate ending with a brake heavy "drop" into the station. Â Since I don't like to go negatives - that's all I can think of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
