Look at that POV of Mystery Mine, even if you know the ride... Second lift:

Kumali at Flamingoland, because the view is Flamingoland. Bleurgh!!

It looks like it shows the passengers their destination from riding that coaster, lol. I think it's weird that a graveyard is next to an amusement park, lol.

This totally made my day. Haven't laughed so hard in times.

 

My worst hill view is a general one. It goes for every ride that gives a view on the Parking lot man that's something I don't want to see till the end of the day.

I would say basically all the coasters at SFDK (except V2 & Boomerang), but I think the cemetery beats it.

Well, what exactly constitutes a bad view? I keep seeing Scream! at SFMM pop up, but if that one's bad, so is Colossus and Goliath. And I mean, the parking lot is really the view down the first drop, not from the lift hill. I would say the beautiful California foothills are the real star on any lift hill at SFMM, including Scream!.

 

As far as 'bad' views on lift hills in Southern California:

 

-Gold Rusher's first lift is going toward an imposing and ugly midway.

-The Matterhorn's lift is pitch black minus some minor themeing halfway up. A view of nothing sounds like a 'bad' view to me.

 

And I mean, those two are a stretch. I wouldn't call any lift hill view out here bad...it's mainly sky, the rest of the ride, and distant mountains or city.

 

Not trying to be a SFMM fanboy or anything, but I feel like Scream! is taking a little bit of a gratuitous hit here for no reason.

I may be missing some sarcasm here not sure, but the second lift and thereafter short part of the ride is the ONLY good part of MM. I'm not sure how this is a bad view.

Did you watch the video?

Oops...

Sheikra at BGT is bad about the sun blinding as well. The lift is just perfectly angled so that you get blinded by the Florida sun from opening 'till 4-5PM every day.

Here's a handy hint - watch that video and pause it at 1:48.

I don't actually mind the view. It's odd for a theme park, sure, but its not like its trash or sewage.

 

But it did have a strong stench of manure when I visited the park.

Wow.

^Oh dear, that does not seem very fitting for such an innocent kiddie coaster.

Looks like a grave oversight.

Why was a park been built so close to the cemetery?

[BackseatBoss]

Why was a park been built so close to the cemetery?

Because it's an extremely small family park is my guess. It's basically in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin and is a bunch of flats and a couple small coasters, so I don't think it mattered too much to them

I see what you did there...

[Parallax]

Green Lantern at Great Adventure is pretty bad, unless you like looking at parking lots full of cars. Although, if you look into the distance you see a nice forest.

[RCjunkie]

After reading and seeing the pictures form the Best Lift Hill Views I am curious what are some of the worst??

 

My vote has to be Wild Thing looking to the right while heading up the lift hill.

 

Pictures would be great and sorry if this type of thread was started elsewhere.

 

Yeah, looking out to the right on Wild Thing's lift hill all you see is an industrial zoned area across the highway.

[thrillgeek]

Although it's not open yet I think Gold Striker at CGA will have a terrible lift view. I mean you have an enclosed tunnel at the top. How could it get any worse??

[Coaster Curt]

^ Didn't know that and good point.

You could surround the tunnel with a small elevated parking lot.

I was thinking that Dragon's Challenge seemed to have a pretty ghetto looking lift hill view. Come to think of it, the landscaping under the coaster wasn't very good either. Must be even worse now that you don't have the dueling element!
