TunaSled Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I really like Invertigo and Wicked Twister, but I haven't been on Wicked Twister in quite a while so I can't accurately rank one above the other. I can These are also my favorite two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Mr. Freeze although I remember really liking Montezooma's Revenge. Just been too long since I have ridden it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuminousAphid Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'm reviving this because I wanted to make a "best shuttle coaster" thread but found this from last year. What are your opinions on the best shuttle coaster you've been on? Any that are not around any more (maybe Batman and Robin: The Chiller? I wish I could ride that) that are superior to what's around today? I think the only shuttle I've been on is Aftershock (former Deja Vu), and it was pretty awesome. Going backward through that giant loop was intense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrientExpressForever Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 While I love Mr. Freeze, both forward and Reverse Blast, my favorite is Greezed Lightnin' of the now defunct Six Flags Astroworld in Houston. If I remember correctly, the intense launch on this one was steam-powered, like an aircraft carrier launch, as opposed to the weight drop variety. Unfortunately, it is now rusting away somewhere and is probably beyond the possibility of making a comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Farmer Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Deja Vu/GIB. Mr. Freeze (before it was reversed) & Great Adventure's Chiller prior to the ridiculous track modifications are my runner-ups. Really wish I could have gotten a lap or two on Moonsault Scramble.

LuminousAphid Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 If I remember correctly, the intense launch on this one was steam-powered( That sounds like a recipe for one bad-ass steampunk roller coaster... I guess Baron did that sort of, but there is so much more theming potential for something steampunk. I know that's so last decade, but I think it would be cool.

TheoB Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Deja Vu/GIB. Mr. Freeze (before it was reversed) & Great Adventure's Chiller prior to the ridiculous track modifications are my runner-ups. Really wish I could have gotten a lap or two on Moonsault Scramble. Moonsault scramble looked insane, My favourite is probably Mr Freeze or Bullet that used to be at Flamingoland it's somewhere in South America now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Superman: Escape from Krypton at SFMM...mainly due to the sheer height and speed. Wicked Twiser and Montezooma's Revenge are close behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasBaby Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) I gotta go with Montezooma, I've been riding it since I was 8 years old and now I ride it with my kids. Mr. Freeze, Deja Vu/GIB, and Intamin Impluse coasters are also lots of fun. I know Deja Vu had reliability issues, but I was super pissed when SFMM got rid of it (especially since that spot is still vacant). I'm going to have to get up to Silverwood sometime soon to ride a GIB again. Speed the Ride was another fun Premier LIM shuttle, but it was dismantled when the Sahara closed and the pieces still sit in storage here in Vegas. It's really a shame that nobody bought this ride, it would've been perfect for a smaller park. Edited August 27, 2015 by VegasBaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFOG1991 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I would probably have to say any GIB or any Schwarzkopf shuttle loop. Batman & Robin: The Chiller was also an amazing combo. I wish we had more of this era of Premier LIM shuttles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
