GoBears Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Maverick is my favorite but Diamondback and Raging Bull are in 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 My favorites would be the following. Â X2 Expedition Ge Force Millennium Force Sheikra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Â B&M Dive machine drops are also quite fabulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyknottsville Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 i305!!! FTW with Skyrush coming in a very close second place for best drop on a steel imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invertalon Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I would say X2. Nothing really compares that I have ridden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hmm. I was going to say Ge Force, but there are a ton of other great ones in this thread. The 4d's are pretty damn crazy too. Â I also love the first drop on the small intamin ball coasters, like Kirnu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleRiderCam Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Even though X2 is really overrated, its first drop packs a punch to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AusCoasterFan Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I can now add Oblivion... freefall heaven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 ^Unfortunately that's all there is to Oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 ^True. The later Dive Machines were much better, although Oblivion's theming is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmTree55 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I am still waiting for a longer and more creative Dive Machine. Sheikra is my favorite, but I would like to see B&M do something with the insane speed after that first drop. The Dive Machine is definitely the BEST B&M coaster type in my opinion.

Schwarzillard Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Virginia tends to have some great first drops. I305 and Griffon definitely take the cake, and I'd even go as far as to say Dominator's first drop is right up there with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickstroberg Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Skyrush in the back row, insane ejector air. MILF in the back row, never feels like its going to end. Maverick, catches you so off guard on your first ride. I305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 ^Skyrush's drop is awesome. Fahrenheit's was great too. I have to say that MF's disappointed me a bit as it didn't give me a lot of air and, for some reason, it didn't feel as long as I thought it would. For these sensations I would choose shambhala: it does feel very long and delivers sustained air all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrbuzz Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I rode Leviathan for the first time last year and have to put that drop at the top of my list. It was my first gigs coaster and it was a blast. Sheikra's drop comes in a close second. I know folks here have mixed feelings about Leviathan but right now until I get a chance to sample better coasters this coaster's drop is tops for me.

rcjp Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 ^Knowing B&M hyper drops I imagine Leviathan's must feel like it goes on forever (with some nice floater) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroGravity55 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 MILF in the back row, never feels like its going to end. Â I agree. My first ever ride was on Millie in the back row. It felt like it was never going to end. It definitely gives a sense of how far you're dropping if that makes any sense. That something that I felt was lacking, on TTD. The launch was great, but I never got the sense that I was actually dropping from 400 feet in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 ^I think it is because of the 270 degrees twist. If it were straight like MF's it would feel very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 ^ Yeah it was that, and I think the launch also feels so powerful, that you don't necessarily feel how good the drop from the top is either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreaminNewEngland Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Bizarro SFNE back seat hands down. Incredible coaster. Â Honerable Mentions: El TORO!!
