mark.w Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I thought it would be interesting. I have ridden shed load of Vekoma loopers and corkscrew variations but they don't affect on me at all. The vertrical loop is too small and not funny either. Yet I have to ride a B&M looper and a floorless coaster to make my final judgement on inversions. Ejector air is something I never have enough. That's why EGF and Goliath (Walibi World) is on the top of my list. The first drop is usually not that intense appart from a few coasters such as EGF or Colossos (Heide Park). The launch is something I have discovered recently during my stay at Alton Towers. I rode Xpress at Walibi World before but Rita is definitely more powerful. Floaters are kinda strange. Silver Star is the only proper floater I have ridden. I choose ejector air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumguy Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I would vote for airtime, and airtime. I love the thrill of flying out of my seat at high speeds. Yeah,I love Boulderdash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chauncey Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I voted for helixes and turns, although I love it all, except launches, and the queue. A launch is just a first drop without a drop, and a queue is just a queue. However, what really matters isn't the individual elements per-se, but how they're used. A rollercoaster that is nonstop loops, or nonstop turns, or nonstop airtime, or nonstop anything, really, is boring. I want a ride that can find a nice balance between all the different kinds of elements, forces, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoubraStreet74 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Very hard to choose since I enjoy most of those things, but I would have to say the first drop. Airtime and inversions would be my second choices, but it's usually an overall experience, not a single element that makes me think that a coaster is very good.

Guest Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Ride Maggie or PR and that is mega ejector air. I love my airtime, I am a junkie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 It's the first drop for me! The view is always great and that's usually when your adrenaline (sp?) is at its highest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Very hard poll. I was leaning toward launches but then i realized how much i like airtime. i voted for ejector air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfBeastSucks Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 It would have to either first drop, ejector airtime or launches for me. It is a tough call but in the end I voted for ejector air, but the other two are close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiCoastal Kid Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 All the time, my favorites are helixes and turns. Though, the queue can actually be the best if you are with the right people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfBeastSucks Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Though, the queue can actually be the best if you are with the right people! That is actualy a good point! It also helps if the coaster sucks! I would have to say the best part of Son of Beast is the queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllisonY2K Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 in some cases, leaving the ride was the best part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benzo41190 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Queing!!!!!!!!!!! it can actually be fun if you are either eating or watching people freak out in front of you. Sometimes queing pays off, like they will say "Batman The Ride is currently closed, we will have the ride back up shortly". People then leave or panic because they either think the ride broke down or it will be closed for like 2 hours. But in reality, they are only putting another train on the track. Then people are leaving so fast that you can shave you waiting time in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fry Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Launches for me. Then ejector air, then floater. Launches are so much fun, I really hope more and more launches appear in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 2 of my favorite rides are Phantoms Revenge, and Magnum, just for the tons of ejection! (Although, PR is a better design for obvious reasons.) Last time I rode Desperado, it ran brakeless, and was awesome, but it wasn't aging very well.

redunzelizer Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I'm so missing with this choice: - lapbar / restraint handling - lifthills - mid course brake hits - active trimming - wait time in station brakes - overpriced onride photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterCrazy Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 My favorites are the first drop, ejector air, and speed! Why isn't speed on the Poll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 well, my favorite part is where you fly out of your seat. Same experience every time, never gets dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 ejector air get's my vote for me. Would anyone say the coasters at Cedar Point and Kings Island have "Ejector Air". What ride names have "ejector air" on their layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
