Best View From A Lift Hill

[bubala]

We are spending a couple of days in the Seaside Heights, NJ area, and I decided to get a few rides on some of the coasters at Casino Pier and Funtown Pier. As I was going up the lift hill on Star Jet, I remembered why I liked this particular coaster so much. The view of the ocean as you are going up the lift and as you go around the first turn at the top of the lift is INCREDIBLE! Especially if you are sitting in the outside seat. All you can see beside you is the ocean. It seems as if the coaster is just floating above the water. It got me to wondering about what everyone else might think are the best views from a coaster lift hill?

 

So, what is your favorite lift hill view?

 

Mine is Star Jet at Casino Pier in Seaside Heights, NJ!

Space Mountain because you're in space.

[slappybob]

Wild Eagle hands down!!!

[ImmelMatt]

Millennium Force bar none.

[Schotcher]

Apollo's Chariot, hands down.

[chadster]

Right now, Wildfire, but only so you can see the new for 2013 coaster

[KDcoasterMAN]

Millennium Force, Hands Up

[Xceleratorfan96]

Could I say Supreme Scream at Knott's? If you sit on the right ride, you can see for miles and on clear days even see the beach.

Definitely Millennium Force. You've got the lake to your left, and the whole park to your right. It's great.

[osm]

Millennium Force for sure.

Either Millennium or Magnum.

You get a nice view of the James River and Surrey County from the top of Griffon; that is, until you make that right turn and you're looking at the brewery.

Wild Eagle, Dollywood. Millennium, Cedar Point. Mystery Mine, because you're infront of an explosion. Voyage, Holiday World. Boardwalk Bullet, Kemah. Titan at SFOT. Superman Krypton - SFFT

Without thinking too hard about it, I'd say Millennium Force (Cedar Point) or Ravine Flyer II (Waldameer).

Goliath; La Ronde. Not my favorite park, but I love how it's so close to the city. (and the coaster is just as good as it's taller counterparts). Millennium Force takes an easy second place.

I also enjoyed Ravine Flyer II's view. It gave a nice, enjoyable view of Lake Erie.

Either Millennium or Magnum.

 

I worked Magnum one summer. It was awesome starting every day with that view from the top of the lift.

 

However, my favorite is Ravine Flyer II. The water looks so blue from the top.

[TheSchwitek]

Oh; and the Coney Island Cyclone. I totally dig the city views from coasters.

[MayTheGForceBeWithYou]

Cliffhanger, Glenwood Caverns. On top of a mountain!

 

[TheSchwitek]

Anchorman what?!?

[odene497]

Ravine Flyer II popped right into my head. On a windy day, being up on top overlooking the peninsula that heads off into Lake Erie, it's a great view.

[TheSchwitek]

I do agree with Ravine Flyer 2. It is represented in my profile picture for goodness sake.

[LaMapa]

Millennium Force.

[KDCOASTERFAN]

Definitely Millennium Force. You've got the lake to your left, and the whole park to your right. It's great.

 

I would say I305 if it weren't so darn fast going up LOL!!
