yankeeman311 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 In big parks everywhere, we all look at 1 or 2 coasters to be headliners to attract people to the park and a third coaster as a solid second tier to make the coaster depth seem more attractive. I don't see this anywhere so I thought I would ask people what park they think has the best trio of roller coasters? I'll start with my answer of Hersheypark. To me there is no better coaster trio than the Intamin Trio at HP. Skyrush has insane ejector airtime, Storm Runner has a great launch and drop while Fahrenheit holds its own with a beyond vertical drop, unique layout and surprising pops of airtime. That's my favorite. What's yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yay101 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Holiday World - Voyage being the biggest and most intense coaster, the Raven being a family-friendly ride (at least I think so), and the Legend, which is a flat-out amazing wooden roller coaster, but not like Voyage.

JonnyRCT3 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 El Toro, Batman:The Ride, Nitro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djboss302 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I will go with either SFFT for IRat, S:KC, and Goliath, or BGT for Kumba, Montu, and Cheetah Hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Quite a few parks have a great coaster trio but my picks are: I agree with Hershey but for me it's Storm Runner, Lightning Racer, and Wildcat, despite many who dislike the ride. SFStL - Screamin' Eagle. The Boss, despite it being a bit rough but it has a great layout and I love all the big drops, and American Thunder.

molemaster43 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Kennywood has a great woodie trio in Thunderbolt, Jack Rabbit and Racer. My personal favorite would be Great Adventure's big three - Nitro, El Toro and Kingda Ka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoGuy Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Theres a few good ones, IMO: The B&M trio at Busch Gardens Tampa: Kumba, Montu, Sheikra and Busch Gardens Williamsburg: Alpengeist, Apollo's Chariot, Griffon Cedar Point has the 3 record breakers, Magnum, Milennium, and Dragster (or swap out Magnum for Maverick and you have a great Intamin trio) And of course the Diseyland Mountains: Matterhorn, Space Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain Ive never been to Hersheypark or Great Adventure but those two seem to have an impressive lineup as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angle O. Descent Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 That's a tough one for me, but I'd say Cedar Point (Maverick, MF, Dragster). Magnum would easily make it best the foursome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyfreak92 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Ohh mee? We'll since sfft, & sfot has great coaster trio I'd say superman krypton coaster, Titan, batman the ride/Goliath, new Texas giant, iron rattler, poltergeist, & the two parks not too far from where I live which is Kemal boardwalk , & Galveston island historic pleasure pier I think boardwalk bullet' & iron shark are good coaster trio's!

CPSFMMCW Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Heres my favorites. Bot in any particular order, but these in my opinion all form a fantastic big 3. I too have 3 favs for Hershey and like the previous ones, mine is also different! Mine is Skyrush, Fahrenheit, and Lightning Racer. SFGAdv for Kingda Ka, El Toro, Nitro. SFMM for Tatsu, X2, Goliath CP for Millennium, Maverick, and TTD KI for Diamondback, Beast, Banshee SFOT for Titan, NTAG, Mr. Freeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oryp Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Oh man so many. My favorite is probably Hersheypark: Skyrush, Storm Runner, and Fahrenheit (and Lightning Racer, and Great Bear, etc, etc. I love Hershey) CP is awesome: Maverick, MF, TTD Kings Dominion is pretty solid, with I305, Volcano, and Dominator. For pure fun, it's definitely Phoenix, Twister, and Flying Turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Mine is definitely Silver Dollar City: Outlaw Run, Powder Keg, and Wildfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Even tho I've never been, Holiday World's Legend, Voyage, and Raven intrigue me the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Cedar Point. Maverick, Millennium Force, and TTD. Massive height (TTD), sustained speed (MF), and twisty airtime craziness (Maverick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardwalkbullet91507 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Although the park is no longer in operation, I always thought it was cool how for 5 years, Six Flags Astrowolrd has a trio of Schwarzkopfs; Viper (Looping Star), Greezed Lightnin' (Shuttle), and Texas Tornado (Now going back to Germany.) To this day I still think that was one of the coolest things about the park; had I had been older at the time I could have ridden all three. I only got to ride Viper.

Solid Gold Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Some International Nominees: Port Aventura: Furious Baco, Dragon Khan, Shambala Europa Park: Euro Mir, Blue Fire, and Silver Star Mirabilandia: Katun, Ispeed, and Divertical Happy Valley Shanghai: Mega-Lite, Diving Coaster, and Fireball Liseberg: Balder, Lisebergbanan, Helix But my winner overall would be Maverick, TTD, and Millenium Force, what an amazing trio of Intamins.

rcdude Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Out of all the parks I've been to, these have three coasters I'd consider top tier rides. From best trio to worst trio... Cedar Point: Millennium Force, Maverick, and Top Thrill Dragster (the Intamin Trio) Six Flags Magic Mountain: X2, Tatsu, and Full Throttle (you could also add Goliath for a quartet) Six Flags Great Adventure: El Toro, Nitro, and Kingda Ka Busch Gardens Williamsburg: Griffon, Apollo's Chariot, and Alpengeist (the B&M Trio) Dollywood: Thunderhead, Mystery Mine, and Wild Eagle (haven't actually been on Wild Eagle, so this could be misjudged) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcoaster Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hershey is definitely my top pick, though Holiday World is also a good option when Voyage isn't trying to murder you. Hershey Park: Skyrush, Stormrunner, Lightning Racer Holiday World: Legend, Raven, Voyage BGT: Kumba, Montu, Sheikra (or Cheetah Hunt, which I haven't ridden) CP: Maverick, Millennium Force, Magnum SFMM: X2, Apocalypse, YOLOcoaster (or Tatsu) Europa Park: Euro Mir, Blue Fire, Eurosat (or Wodan, or Silver Star) Dollywood: Thunderhead, Mystery Mine, Tennessee Tornado (or one of the new coasters that I haven't ridden) Kennywood: Phantom's Revenge, Sky Rocket, Racer (or Thunderbolt, or Jack Rabbit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hershey's Intamin trio: Stormrunner, Fahrenheit and SkyRush. Cedar Point's Intamin line up: MF, TTD and Maverick. Their Arrow line up is pretty good as well. Corkscrew, Gemini and Magnum. Hansa Park's Gerstlauer/Schwarzkopf trio BGT's Kumba, Montu and SheiKra. Ocean Park's Hair Raiser, Mine coaster and Dragon. Mirabilandia's iSpeed, Katun and Divertical. Liseberg's Balder, Lisebergbanan and Helix SDC's Outlaw Run, Powder Keg and Wildfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hershey's Intamin trio: Stormrunner, Fahrenheit and SkyRush. That's a very good one. Hershey has my second and third favourite rides (storm runner and skyrush) but then I'm not sure if I would put great bear or Fahrenheit right after those. They're both great fun with Fahrenheit having great moments of airtime (the drop and hill towards the end) and great bear having (in my opinion) a slightly better pacing and being very very solid. I didn't get to ride neither el toro nor maverick (both closed) but assume that, if I had, they would both fit in very good trios. Honourable mention to portaventura for DK and FB (both awesome) and shambhala which, despite not being near my top at all, is very solid with many moments of air and a great first drop.

_koppen Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Lisebergsbanan, Helix and Balder will become the trio to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGAmFan1976 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Six Flags Great America's American Eagle, Viper, and (soon) Goliath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Good question! I am going to go with SDC. I can't think of any other park that I like three coasters more than Outlaw Run, Powder Keg and Wild Fire. Busch Garden Tampa's three B&Ms would come in second for me .

Really awesome coaster. I rank it above Mystery Mine and above Wild Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
