Vtafro Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Here goes nothing, they do look pretty good, although a sunset ride on maverick is pretty good as well. Might even enjoy the lack of a view when riding beast at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark549 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Some more great views although not quite as good as Hair Raiser  Ravine Flyer: sun setting into the lake from the top of the far turn around. It would have been worth sneaking a camera onto the ride just to take that picture -- but I didn't do that. It's a nice memory.  Millennium Force: another lake view  Griffon: view of James River  Wild Eagle: Smoky Mountains  Silverwood: nice mountains, although no lake or ocean  Tatsu: dry mountains  Flight Deck (CGA): nice mountains, but scummy pond.  I've been to Glenwood Springs but not the amusement park and it was years ago. The Amtrak route through there is amazing. I've also driven (and biked) near there. Cliffhanger looks like it's got the best view of any US coaster.  I've not been to Ghost Town in the Sky but I've been to the Smokies and assume the view from that park is very nice, although their SBNO coaster doesn't look as nice as a floorless B&M overlooking the ocean.

Xcoaster Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I can't think of any better coaster views. I especially love the first photo because of the way it looks like the whole world is spread out below you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalyte Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Not gonna lie, I can't think of any other views better. Maybe that concrete coaster in either Spain or Portugal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshinmac Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 They are amazing... I think the only thing that would make them better is more airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCoaster Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Those are definitely the best views I've ever seen from a coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxi Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Definitely the best view ever ... and the view did not change much since 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCForce Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 It will be the best views ever, once I get to Hong Kong someday and actually visit Ocean Park and ride them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude28 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Definitely some awesome views at that park. Would love to visit and ride those coasters some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillrideseeker Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Ugh, now I really wish I would have went! Those views are to die for. Maybe another year!! ~Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillyspook13 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Those views are gorgeous! Hopefully I'll be able to visit that park sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMJr Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 That view, I could die happy. Â The only thing I can compare that view to is the view I had flying over Belmont park in a bit plane, other than that China wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeNeons03 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I love that view from Hair Raiser. That coaster look's awesome too, can't wait to see the POV and hopefully ride it someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Personally, "Wooden Coaster" at Happy Valley also looks like a remarkable view, but yes, Ocean Park, imho, has the best views by far. One day, one day... Â Squid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fahrenheit1221 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 The only views that I think are comparable are perhaps Magnum XL-200 and perhaps Thunder Dolphin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julius703 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Ocean Park have really taken advantage of its supreme locale. Look how green and beautiful when it was in the 80's, everything clean and tidy. The new expansion is a great, glad that they went for B&M for the new major coaster. But the new theme areas are too packed and messy, like the first part of Hair Raiser which goes to the back of house of the Polar Adventure, quite unsightly indeed... Btw, they are planning for a second expansion at the area further down the mine train (formerly known as Middle Kingdom), including a waterpark consisting of both indoor and outdoor parts, and 2 themed hotels. Looking forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yeti Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 So the pictures you posted are really the best I've seen, but the best I've experienced in person would be on Wildfire looking out at Table Rock Lake. I couldn't find a picture from the top of the lift, but here is a link the view from Wildfire's gift shop/viewing area - http://rcdb.com/720.htm?p=1595, basically at the bottom of the coaster. The view from the top of the lift is amazing. They also have a picture from the top of Powder Keg's lift looking toward Wildfire, but I believe it was taken in winter (the bare trees make it less appealing), and the view is definitely better from Wildfire.

triggernel Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Until they build a coaster over the Grand Canyon, yep that looks to be the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewoplis Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Both those views are fantastic! I love that shot of Hair Raiser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
