jjeerr Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Best ending: Any Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loop. Going up the back spike in the back=FUN!
nannerdw Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Best: The Voyage (for obvious reasons) Magnum XL 200's bunny hops of death! GASM's headchopper into the brakes! Tennessee Tornado's crazy turn and ejector air before the brakes The Beast's awesome helix (even though I absolutely hate the rest of the ride) Gemini's cool neck-snapping helix  Worst: Adventure Express lift hill back to the station IJST's boring splashdown Raptor (the only uncomfortable part of the ride)
coasterdude5 Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Best: Expedition Everest (yeti!) Batman (speed until the brakes!) Â Lamest: Iron Wolf (just seems to stop, while it's still going strong, like it's unfinished)
Millennium ForceJZ Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Some one on page 8 said that PKI had Double Loop...ugh no!  BEST:  The Beast! - That helix kicks ass! Magnum - 4 Airtime Hills...nuff said! Millennium Force - Airitme hill and sweet overbank Raptor - Corkscrew and insane helix BORG Assimalator - 2 corscrews laying down, backwards head first...umm yea thats intense! Top Gun: TJC - That last corkscrew really whips you around!!! Mantis - Spegetti Bowl finally - nuff said  WORST:  Adventure Express - lift hill to nothing SOB - No airtime on those hills! Mean Streak.....just no Corkscrew - boring
IwantRevenge Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Best: KingDa Ka: I love that Airtime hill  Worst: Medusa: It jsut seems to get dull after the interlocking corckscrews Superman: Ultimate Flight: By ending i mean everything AFTER the Pretzal loop.
mike541x Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Best  Big Bad Wolf- Concidering the second drop its amazing along with the "S" turn. Wild One- Awesome helix.   Worst  Hurler (PKD)- Dull and boring.
Jumboshrmp Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 I brought up this topic back when Danimation.com was around. The lamest coaster ending for me would have to be a tie between Great Bear at HP and Kraken at SWO. While these rides are really fun, the last bit before the final brake run are snoozers. My favorite coaster ending would probably be TTD at CP and Raptor at CP. While there are more, these two blew me away. Wow... that surprises me. As soon as I saw this thread, I immediately thought of Kraken at Sea World Orlando as the ride with the best ending I have been on. Oh well.
PcwFAN Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 The best ending I have been on is on Vortex at PCW. The swinging is insane going into the brake run, atleast 90 degrees. The G's are also really intense. Â The worst ending has to be Revenge of the Mummy at USF, that ending video is lame. I would rather ROTM at USF had an ending like ROTM at USH, that ending is awesome.
mightypotato Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 The best ending I can think of was Superman: Ride of Steel at SFDL...those bunny hills before the brake run are awesome. As for worst? I'd give that to Dragon Fire at PCW...extremely lame helix and super long brake run.
okinawaboy11 Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 BEST: Â S:RoS (Any): The airtime hills are just, crazy. Raging Bull: High Speed Figure 8 = Fun Timberhawk: Nice little airtime dip before the brakes. Â WORST: MF: Jesus, they could have done so much more with the speed left. Dueling Dragons (BOTH): After the corckscrews...borrrrring.
Reon Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 As for AE, I think it isnt the lift that kills it, but the fact that there is so much potential...It easily has more than enough room for a medium drop, or a quick helix (come off the turn, twist the other way, and go down then back up into the brake run...) Â And to add/revise my best/worst list.... Â Best: *Cyclops: Insane air hill #2, (#1 is the first drop), followed by one last pop of twisted air. Also, technically a station flyby *Zues: Double down to double up, to another double up around Hades. All with nice airtime. *Hades: I know someone said this was a "bad", but think about it. The ending consists of a hilly figure 8 that FLYS by the station/que, and eventually leads up into a forceful helix into the brakes. *StormRunner: I don't care what the breaks did to it, any ride that ends in forceful, uphill tricktrack is okay in my books. *FoF: A nice corky that sometimes leaves you seeing sideways. Â Worst: *Vortex (KI): Helix doesn't do it justice. *Cyclops: The ride ends *AE: Like I said, so much potential, so little used. What are those dudes telling us to beware, the brake run?
FeelTheFORCE Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Worst: Adventure Express/Ninja (SFMM) (anything that goes right into the station from a lifthill) Â Best: Raptor (nice helix and ive ridden it so many times ive learned to brace myself so the "car crash" isnt bad at all anymore)/Millennium Force (i love that overbanked turn right over the people in line)
thomas2 Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 The worst ending has to be the one of the Schweizer Bobbahn @ Europa Park. Just when you get a good speed, the train hits brakes and is slowed like really much. Then you get a very lame flat coaster track and then there are these long brakes again. Definately an anti-climax. Â The best ending has to be the one of Silver Star. You still have alot of speed and that S-bend really throws you around like crazy. Then you hit these comfortable brakes that slow you down really fast withour being rough or anything. Definately B&M at it's best
coastakid Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Best- Superman: Ride of Steel- SFNE : Intense ejector-air in the front rows, but still great floater/ejector-air in the back. Â Â Worst- Kingda Ka- GADV : Very fast and thrilling roller coaster, but with a very mild, ending bunny-hill, barely creating floater-air.
onewheeled999 Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 I haven't been on many coasters, but here are my results: Best = Matterhorn @ Disneyland CA Worst = Kong @ SFMW Â I don't know why, but I really like Matterhorn's splashdown at the end. Not my favorite ride because of roughness, but a nice ending. Kong, however... as with all SLC's, a quick jerky brake run.
Real Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Best - Voyage Worst - Great Bears is "meh" but I have to go with Mantis's figure 8's of doom. Â Â Anyone who thinks Raptors ending is harsh obviously doesnt ride with their head back against the headrest. If you press your head back slightly, voila, no bang. Works everytime, doesnt matter if you are big or small. Â Its when you sit there like a parapalegic or stick your head out that you create tension in your neck and put your neck in an End Range position which is bound to hurt anyways.
odene497 Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Best:Millenium Force-My first time on I was so pumped up the entire ride and then you come out of the second tunnel, and fly over that amazing airtime hill, and then have the turn over the line. Top Thrill Dragster-Right at the bottom of the hill your so hyped up over what just happened it's insane. Coney Island Cyclone-After the second to last turn, the small airtime hill that turns slightly at the same time, no seat dividers, you get whipped like crazy  Worst-Quantom loop-at Seabreeze. It's a fun and smooth ride, but the end is just boring, and you hit the brakes way early, and then just go really slow all the way back to the station
TatsuXtreme Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Best - Tatsu at SFMM: that Pretzel Loop still kicks my ass every time. Â worst - Ninja at SFMM: A lift hill.... woo hoo?
Golfie Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Superman: Ultimate Flight's ending sucks. The ride should just end after the pretzel loop. Oh wait! Then it wouldn't be long enough HAHA! Â Viper's ending is pretty neat... well... two years ago it was. Now the train goes through the final turn MEGA slow.
the sound Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Dragon Khan's ending was the only thing really "Bad" that i could pick up from it. The Best would be SUperman:Escape at warner Bros Moviw WOrld at the GOld Coast. Â Downward Brakes!
colossus Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 best--riddlers revenge i love the flatspin over the queueline.  worst--ninja it just sucks  ~Chris-o
USRoadTripper Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 I want to update my answer! I still think that Adventure Express has a lame ending, but I wanna add in Ninja at SFMM too, since it has the same "lift hill then coast for 5 feet to the station" ending. Â And my favorite ending is now Rampage at Alabama Adventures! The brake run is pretty far from the station, then you hit this little downhill curve, where you pick up some decent speed, then hit more brakes on the downhill portion of the track. Nice. Â -Julie
Fry Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Best: Goliath, WW. Three amazing airtime hills, followed by the ground-hugging S-Bend. Everest. Yeti. 'Nuff said. Vampire's clsoe to the ground swing-fest is one of the highlights of the ride. Â Worst: Corkscrew, Alton Towers. Pointless trip around the whole ride. Montu's is quite bad after the MCBR. The Ultimate's 'monorail' section is disappointing compared to the insanity of the rest of it.
Billy Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 i dont get why some people think Great Bears ending is bad. Look at how they placed the ride in the park, its incredible. For the room they had, i think it is solid. Â A bad ending for me was Montu. It seemed to drag on a little after the upward helix. This was a big let down. Â A good ending for me is Storm Runner. Its like holy crap! 1,000 mph! and then a smooth halt on the brakes. good stuff.
