SuperShawn Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Wild Eagle, X2, most the B&M Mega coasters have some pretty views, Giant Dipper at sunset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Millennium and Magnum are first by a mile. MF's is good anytime, and the view from Magnum's lift hill on a clear night is something everyone should get to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger01 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Pepsi Max Big One on a clear day. If you look infront you see the sea, to the right you see the rest of the park and the Golden mile and if you look back you see the lake district. It's pretty sweet!

GayCoasterGuy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 American Eagle! AND - you get plenty of time to enjoy it as the trains slow down and nearly stop at the top (which some people complain about - but look at it this way - at least it's something different.) (I know this picture is old and doesn't show the Southwest Territory or the incredible view of the whole park to the right...) The opposite would be I-305. The potentially great view is ruined b/c you are held back and down by those stupid retracting straps - and blocked by the head rest in front of you. (Related note - I know people love that ride, but I just didn't get it. The ride is pure intensity, zero excitement. I got nothing from it. I gave it many tries over a 2 day period - which was easy as it was the shortest line in the park.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarnes84 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Probably Millennium Force although X2 comes an incredibly close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinning man Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 When I rode The Swarm near its opening, it was night time. And with it being night time, the horizon area looked great with lights in the distance and seeing the sky just disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazy 9 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I loved the view of the Midway on SFGAdv GASM, and I might be one of the only people to ever say that they liked GASM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Ravine Flyer II has a better view from the lift than Magnum as I think Magnum's best view of Lake Erie is from the top of the second hill, even though you only get a brief view before plummeting to the left. The view of the James River from the top of Griffon is absolutely stunning. Dominator, when it was at Geauga Lake, had an awesome view of the front part of the park from the top of the lift though the view of the Eiffel Tower at KD from the top is pretty cool as well.

jjune4991 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've always liked Sheikra's lift. When you first crest the hill, you can see all the way to downtown Tampa and you can see the bay. Then a 180* turn to see USF and Lettuce Lake park before looking 90* straight down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 ^I've always liked Sheikra too, more the long slow turn give you a good chance to check everything out and that lift just feels scary as hell every time I ride it. I would give Magnum the edge over Millennium Force just because Millennium Force's lift is so steep and fast that it doesn't give you a chance to take in the scenery as much as Magnum's slow more gradual incline does. I'd like to throw in a darkhorse vote for the Beast, the view of that mess of wood and the valley is always pretty impressive no matter how many times I ride that thing.

ProwlerPrey Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 For me, the ones that really come to mind are Wildfire's view of the Ozark Mountains and Millennium Force's view of the lake. Great views from both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousReed Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Although it isn't a coaster (and it won't open for another week) I think Lex Luthor would give off a nice view. The side facing Goliath would be the better side for a good view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simaticable Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I thought the view from Goliath(SFOG) is great! Seeing the mountains and the airport as well as Atlanta was pretty cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dailey Enterprizes Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) The view of Presque Isle from Ravine Flyer II is pretty amazing. Edit: Yeah pictures would have been nice. Coming right up! From 2008 Behemoth Tour At first the beautiful view of Lake Erie. Then a trailer park? Edited June 28, 2012 by Dailey Enterprizes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatle11 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Millennium Force was the first to pop into my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomNick Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Millennium Force for me, all the way. That said, fairly close behind would be both Magnum and Ravine Flyer II. Hmmm, perhaps I have a secret love of Lake Erie or something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBparks57 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 As of right now, I'd say it's between Millennium Force, Magnum, and Ravine Flyer 2. Although Kentucky Rumbler has a great view as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the rides I'm on are either facing a city, or more rides......The seclusion of Beech Bend is one reason why I love visiting it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
