Sir Clinksalot Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I find it interesting that Positive G's/Loops are pretty far down on most people's lists. Will be interesting to see if this changes next year with the additions of upside down elements on Hades, Rattler and of course the new Outlaw Run.

Condor Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I find it interesting that Positive G's/Loops are pretty far down on most people's lists. Will be interesting to see if this changes next year with the additions of upside down elements on Hades, Rattler and of course the new Outlaw Run. I think positive g's (and inversion until now) are not usually seen as being important for wooden coasters the way they are for steel. I've always seen woodies to be more about airtime and laterals, with relatively few being noticed for their strong positive g's. The ride experience of most woodies does'nt lend itself to strong positive forces quite the same way. But you're right, with new, smoother track and train technology on these newer coasters that could all change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 ^I'll have to look at some old ballots and see if I have the forces ranked the same for both wood and steel. I'm definitely not the biggest fan of positive G's or laterals, though there are some woodies with laterals so intense, I can't help but appreciate them (Coaster, Phoenix, Giant Dipper...which are overall favorites of mine, as well).

vertigomkie Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 ^^^Never understood why people have such polarizing reviews of Roar at SFDK. It always seems to be in the top 10 or bottom 30/half of people's ballots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 ^ When I rode Roar in 2005 I absolutely loved it. But it hasn't held up well and the last times I rode it in 2010 and 2011 (respectively) it was absolutely brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 ^It has gotten worse but I don't know if I'd say it's brutal, not compared to my experience with Ghostrider this year. But I'm a little biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double0Kevin Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 ^Roar has some serious trouble spots, and it's nothing like it was back in it's early years, but I agree it's not brutal. There are much worse rides out there, Roar East for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaminkid2005 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 ^ When I rode Roar East back in 07, I personally loved it. But even then the ride was getting bad reviews. Granted I haven't been back to the park since then to see how its held up, the ride once was pretty good. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark549 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I've been on about 60 wooden coasters and 214 total. After my favorite and a few runner ups there's no way I could rank them. I like I-305, Skyrush and Maverick more than any wood coasters. Voyage is my favorite woodie. I haven't been on El Toro. Ravine Flyer, Tremors, Terminator/Apocalypse, Thunderhead, Raven, Phoenix and Twister, Texas Cyclone, Riverside Cyclone (when it was new) and Hercules (also when it was new). I couldn't precisely rank and rate them. They might fit in that order. Or not. Lightning Racer, Viper and American Eagle, Legend, Beast were fun but not top ten. Some that I wanted to like but didn't: Ghost Rider, Colossus SFMM, Roar West and East, Wild One (better when it was in Massachusetts), Grizzly Virginia, Georgia Cyclone (w/o topper track), Hershey Wildcat.

Sounds more like a case laziness, than there being NO WAY you can do this. You don't have to precisely rank all of them. You can lump some in categories. Based on what you wrote you could do the following: 1 - Fav Steel Coaster 2 - Voyage 3 - Ravine Flyer, Tremors, Terminator/Apocalypse, Thunderhead, Raven, Phoenix and Twister, Riverside Cyclone 4 - Lightning Racer, Viper and American Eagle, Legend, Beast 5 - Ghost Rider, Colossus SFMM, Roar West and East, Wild One , Grizzly Virginia, Georgia Cyclone , Hershey Wildcat 6 - all so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
