cfc Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Superman at Six Flags Magic Mountain sounds like a jet taking off every time it launches. I thought it was louder than even Tower of Terror at Dreamworld, which is the same type of ride. Edited January 2, 2012 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Son of Beast was absurdly loud, especially when you were on the lift hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Have to agree here Chuck, I found Superman to be very loud, especially when it launches and you are walking by the tower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Demon Drop is pretty loud... Chiller at Great Adventure used to be loud as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddytheviper Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I find Kumba to be quite uncomfortably loud now actually, I sometimes even wear earplugs when i'm riding when I have a headache (which with that ride, you will develop after a 5 run spree) Â Also, I think they must have turned the volume up on MIB & spiderman it's quite piercing at times now. Â I think I however am an old grumpy man at heart however so, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schotcher Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Griffon at BGW when it exits the chain lift, the anti-rollbacks are so loud!!! Edited January 2, 2012 by Schotcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imawesome1124 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I seem to recall BBW having somewhat of a noisy lift but I don't remember it bothering me. Dominator is really loud when you're standing under the loop. Flight of Fear is pretty loud when it launches due to the fact that it's in an inclosed metal room. Hypersonic XLC was really bad when it first opened, I was scared to go near it because it was so loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Edge of Beast- Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Basically all B&Ms are loud, or somewhat loud at least. Another very loud one is Thunderation at Silver Dollar City, the lift hill for the thing can be heard from almost anywhere in the parking lot. All GCIs are pretty noisy also, especially Prowler and OzCat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeistfan1 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I found Great Bear to be loud, but it was a good kind of loud from the sand not in the supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Morgan hyper anti-rollbacks create a terrible racket. It's worst when heard from the back seat, I believe. Â The launch on Intamin Twisted Impulse coasters sounds almost exactly like people screaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someotherguyuser Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Superman: Escape from Krypton at SFMM. I always have to cover my ears every time I walk near that track. >. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanKgtr Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Storm Runner has a narrow uphill path that goes directly under the beginning of the launch block. When the brake fins go down prior to the launch and after the train launches, the sound is DEAFENING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chargersmichael Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Umm...Kumba! Batman's lift hill at the SF parks...well most of them. I also think Rockits lift hill is a little loud from far away from the ride...I can still hear it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The loudest launches are probably S:EFK and all the Intamin Accelerators  The loudest rollbacks can be found on pretty much every Arrow ride, especially X2, and the suspended coasters. However, the rollbacks that seem the loudest are the ones on the BTMR rides; the first lift in the small tunnel is just deafening.  And, just about every non-prefab wood coaster makes a ton of noise. This is why it is just weird to watch and ride El Toro; it's totally quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazy 9 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 ^ I was just about to mention rockit, you beat me to it! Basically any box spine that is not filled with sand is going to be loud. I may have to disagree about el toro, it almost sounds like its going on anti rollbacks over every airtime hill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Rodder Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Â The launch on Intamin Twisted Impulse coasters sounds almost exactly like people screaming. Â Yes they do!! I thought it was one time until I saw that the train was EMPTY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 ^Yeah, I'll admit that when I was new to coasters (V2 at SFDK was a very early credit for me), I seriously believed the ride so was scary that every single train of riders started screaming loudly immediately upon launching. Â It actually didn't seem too far-fetched at the time, as I was so scared of the ride myself that I first rode it with my eyes closed part of the time, and it made enough of an impression to become one of my first #1 coasters.

screaminkid2005 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 1. Superman: The Escape when i went in 2003. 2. Batman & Robin: The Chiller. Standing in the exit tunnel when it launched was deafening! 3. Batman: The Ride SFGAdv Lift has become crazy loud! 4. Green Lanteurn at SFGAdv, the whole thing in general is wicked loud! Â The Loudest flat ride i think is Catapult at SFNE! I have heard that ride testing all the way from Batman on the complete other side of the park while walking into work! Great ride though! =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanreich Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Superman: Escape From Krypton at SFMM. Part of the SFMM walking path goes directly under the track and if you're there when the car gets launched, it can be LOUD. Not to mention you can hear the ride almost anywhere else in the park at night when it's quieter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Superman: The Escape was quite loud when I went to SFMM, especially walking under it as just a single car flew by overhead...sounded like a fighter jet. Â Also from what I remember as a kid, Sky Whirl/Triple Wheel at Great America had this high pitched whirring noise, I still remember exactly what it sounds like today. Â And any non-sand-filled B&M. I thought Top Gun was called a "Jet Coaster" due to its jet-like noise when I was younger. I thought it was part of its theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Rodder Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Pretty much any one of them on a physics day with many teen girls riding. Â Â So true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce232 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Kumba. You can hear it from practically anywhere in the park, but what makes it even greater is that it's purposely loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
