robbalvey Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 ^ I like the Dive Machines, but my issue with Griffon is that it's the same ride twice in a row.... Drop, dive loop, brake... At least the Sheikra clones do something DIFFERENT after the 2nd drop, not the exact same thing you just did.... again! Was just really not impressed with the layout of that ride.

I agree about the layout, but Volcano isn't very unique either. I enjoyed the launch, but the rest was average. I love the Dive Machine first drops though, very intense!

robbalvey Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 ^ I guess for me it's just like, having been on all the Dive Machines in the world, Volcano is at least something "unique..." I mean, I can't think of any other ride with a double launch UP a vertical track like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBomer Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Robb, for the endings did they have you record one for all the coasters, or just the ones that won? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realky want to see Intamin evolve that coaster type, as I could see it being a big hit at a park like Carowinds which lacks a launch coaster. I guess it's with me only having ridden 106 coasters. You having been on over 1,500 coaster know which are the best and which aren't. Thanks, I'd live to be able to get my coaster count up to the status that yours is one day!

cmullin Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Here's how I would put that list... I left their original numbering and I omitted the two coasters I haven't ridden yet. Final Standings for Season Two 6. Expedition GeForce 1. Intimidator 305 2. New Texas Giant 7. Maverick 20. iSpeed 9. Skyrush 16. Colossus 19. Katun 15. Superman Escape 13. Superman: Ride of Steel 3. Formula Rossa 8. Dodonpa 17. Volcano, The Blast Coaster 21. Furius Baco 9. Tatsu 25. Blue Fire 23. Behemoth 14. Nitro 11. Griffon 22. Takabisha 11. X2 4. Leviathan 16. Titan 18. Magnum XL-200 24. Tower of Terror II 27. Batwing I agree with this list. I think Batwing would be at the bottom of everyone's list. I did like Griffon more than Volcano though. I agree also, except I wouldn't put Volcano that high. Much better than their list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tower of Terror II 27. Batwing I agree with all that I've ridden, but I definitely preferred Leviathan to Behemoth. The trims on Behemoth just killed the ride for me, and even thought I-305 is by far the best giga that I've ridden, Leviathan was much more exciting than what I assumed from pictures and videos would be a better ride on Behemoth.

Woodie Warrior Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Why did X-Flight rank so low? It looked pretty cool to me. Can anyone who has actually ridden it say what may have made it score so low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necoastergp Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 ^ Probably because its a wing coaster and is just fun but not the best coaster in all aspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmullin Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Yeah I don't like wing coasters at all, they are too uncomfortable for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilrider Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Why did X-Flight rank so low? It looked pretty cool to me. Can anyone who has actually ridden it say what may have made it score so low? I believe one of the factors people vote on is ride length, so that probably did not help since X-Flight is a very short ride. I also know that even though we filmed that day, nobody asked us to vote as we left the ride, so I don't think those numbers mean much at all if only some riders vote for each ride. Typical "reality" TV. I didn't expect it to win or anything, up against Intamin rides, but it is a fun ride, with a great climax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I took part in the shootings at Mirabilandia! In the Katun episode (7th) I'm the guy taking photos with the reflex during the voting process. Also the guy with the obnoxious yellow rain coat is a friend of mine!
