mike541x Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I hate stand-up roller coasters, never did like the concepts of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 ^I actually do really like the concept, the problem is that all standups I've ridden weren't particularly smooth. I would definitely like to see a park purchasing one in the future as I'm sure that companies like B&M would be capable of building a smooth ride.

arby Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I am not fond of ones that are closed when I visit a park. Truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I really don't like Stand Up coasters. And I refuse to ride a Volare. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Turbo Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I have to say that I actually quite like stand ups. My least favorite type would have to be Zac spins. This might be because I have never had a good ride on one, but it was so painful and not enjoyable in the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanM64 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) ^I have yet to find a stand up coaster that I've enjoyed!! They're my least favorite coaster type by far. I've only been on 3 flyers- Superman: Uninspiring Flight at both SFGAm and SFGAdv, and Firehawk at KI. Obvjously the B&Ms are a snooze fest except for the pretzel loop which is ine of my favorite elements on any coaster. Firehawk was pretty good, aside from ridiculous loading times and being blinded on the lift. I can imagine B&M flyers would be amazing if they were designed by old school B&M. I just can't see ANY standup ever being good. I've been on some bad SLCs also, but if you can find a fairly smooth one (hard to do), they're actually pretty decent! The same applies to standard boomerangs. Edited December 10, 2013 by DanM64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Gonna say Volares. I think I'm in the minority in that I really don't mind stand ups. I actually had some nice rides on Riddler and Mantis when I rode them...guess I was just lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double0Kevin Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'll say it... I'm not a fan of anything with seats hanging off to the side. That would include wing-riders, zacspins, and yes... 4D Coasters. Not one of those rides is anything I would wait to ride over and over. Most are one and done for the credit.

Pyrozooka0 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Vekomas with gen-1/Arrow trains. The only thing worse is a TOGO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan P. Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Probably stand up coasters, but if I were to go by brand: Arrow. (Except the Loch Ness Monster! Can't say about many others because I haven't been on many but the ones I have, have not been good.) Vekoma is probably second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMJr Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 SLCs lost their luster for me a while ago. Partly because their rough, partly because they are clones (I still like the Batman clones though). I'm not a fan of the B&M wing riders I have been on, perhaps the ones overseas are better? Zamperla Twister Coasters/Spinning mice are another coaster that has lost its appeal for me. Needless to say I'll ride all these coasters, but they just don't really "do it" for me.

TroyWD98 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 For the record, I've never been on an SLC so I'll say Vekoma boomerangs, unfortunate for me since there are so many of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackandylan123 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I have to say a Vekoma SLC, they are absolutely horrible, yes there are "smoother" ones, but they are not smoother by much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Stratosphere Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It is going to have to be an SLC for me, I am really easy going with any ride, but I had such a massive headache after the last one I rode and I was riding defensively.

Nrthwnd Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 For the record, I've never been on an SLC so I'll say Vekoma boomerangs, unfortunate for me since there are so many of them. Same goes for SLCs around the world - they are everywhere. And as well, various knock-off SLCs are found in other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
