CruzClan Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Me and my friend had the Batman at SFMM alone to ourselves. Lots of fun!
JRice92 Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Rides I've had all to myself. Raptor: Cedar Point Ravine Flyer II: Waldameer And my most cherished ride was first train of the day on Intimidator 305 all to myself back in June.
rolercstrluvr Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I love having a train to myself, it's happened a few times to me. California's Great America: Gold Striker, Top Gun(CGA), Demon, Grizzly, Vortex, Psycho Mouse. SFDK: Roar, Boomerang, S:UF How do those not have other people on the train. I can understand everything else listed but S:UF and Gold Striker are pretty new rides. And Gold Striker might as well be right inside the front gate did everyone say "Lets go ride the 20 year old B&M or 25+ year old demon!" Gold Striker: Was the last person in line and was lucky enough to be right behind when they filled up the train in front of me. So I waited for the next one and had it all to myself. S:UF: Was there on a dead day, got to the park early and was first in line and on the first train. The weather also scared most of the crowds away that day.
nannerdw Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Kentucky Rumbler, and all the coasters at Indiana Beach When I got in line for Tig'rr (well, there wasn't a line, it was just me), but a couple of kids walked into the station behind me. Then the ride op tried to tell this random person's 8-9 year old child to sit in my lap, and I was like "Umm, yeah hellz no, that's definitely not going to happen. If they want to ride together, they can wait all of 20 seconds for the next train."
Woodie Warrior Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 HellCat at Timber Falls. The ride was horrible. So damn rough.
Rollercoaster Rider Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Python Pit at Go Karts Plus Jet Starr at Central Park Fun Land And Probably various other junior coasters at Kids Parks
agerikson Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Talon at Dorney Park (popular choice!), Grizzly at Kings Dominion, Alpengeist at Busch Gardens (10 pm night ride; my favorite experience), El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure, Superman Ride of Steel, Roar, Wild One, and Mind Eraser at Six Flags America.
fraroc Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Grizzly at Kings Dominion and Lightning Racer at Hersheypark....Let me tell you something, I love no lines as much as everyone else, but I find roller coasters to be more fun if more people are screaming along with you...
BoulderDash Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I know for a fact I had Boulder Dash and Lightning Racer (lightning) to myself. I am pretty sure I had Wildcat and Zoomerang to myself at one point too. I got BD to myself on the day of the oc Boulder Fest with insane weather, I can't believe they kept it open. It was absolute monsoon rain and there was no one else on the train for at least a half hour. Got 50 rides, employees let me get to 50 by letting me go two more times!
RMC_Hoodie Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I was alone on Wildcat at Lake Compounce once this year, on the last train of the day. It was fun, but kind of awkward.
molemaster43 Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Iron Dragon during the early morning hours at Cedar Point. Lucky for me, the train stopped on the second lift hill!
PVA62 Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Hydra, Possessed, Thunderhawk, and Steel Force at Dorney. All on the same day, it was a great day to ride!
YOLO Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 The closest to "alone" was Magnum XL-200 on a rainy day. I remember it was only a little girl, her dad, and me. This was also the first time I rode magnum or any coaster above 200 feet. I "sneaked" away from my family (i was 12 at the time) at the waterpark, re-entered CP and rode it. The biggest thing I rode up to that point was Raptor, so I was in for a HUGE surprise considering I never rode an airtime machine up to that point. Call me a wimp but I am scared to leave the group I am with. The last time I was on a ride by myself was Mountain Slidewinder at Dollywood in May 2013. I was sitting in the lap of dirty, cussing, trailer trash, hillbilly kids, one of which who was rocking the log side to side when the ride OP's said not too...thank god I survived.
prozach626 Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 My wife and I rode Outlaw Run with an empty train behind us. I refuse to go to amusement parks alone, so I've never been completely solo on a train, nor would I want to be.
Xmeister Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I know it's not a coaster but I have had a boat to myself on WDW's POTC. Also at Kilimanjaro Safaris occasionally they would send us out to the ride path without stopping to pick up guests to keep the flow of vehicles moving. Driving through the reserve alone was definitely a magical moment for me. (Kinda creepy when Wilson would come in through the speakers though.)
MisterP Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I rode Ozcat 5 times in a row by myself right after it opened...
Xcoaster Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 My loneliest experience was probably on Nitro at SFGAdv. We started ERT over there then most of the group moved on to Green Lantern and Kingda Ka, so I got a lonely ride before I realized everyone else had left. Other than that, I've ridden a ton of coasters in Japan by myself, since the smaller parks tend to be deserted when I visit. Oh, and every Batflyer I've ever ridden.
rolercstrluvr Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 To add to my list, I recently just remembered having solo rides on both Dragons Fury and Vampire at Chessington World of adventure.
Sharon29060 Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 The only time I had a train all to myself was on American Eagle backwards last year during ERT. It was awesome, and quiet too, as the blue side was way behind the red side.
ScreaminNewEngland Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 White lightning Incredible Hulk Dueling dragons Mummy Yankee cannonball Untamed Canobie corkscrew I'm sure many more
StuckInSD Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 I got a Miner's Mike at Boomers to myself. That's about it. ... I am not proud.
spinning man Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 I haven't had a train all to myself, but in a way I did at the same time. It was on Rattlesnake at Chessington. A quiet day it was, and so I got a car all to myself, since that ride technically doesn't have trains. Either way, it was fun.
booink Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Comet at The Great Escape, during the Supernova Media day. It was EPIC!
Naina21 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 The most recent one for me was Thunder Run at Kentucky Kingdom on the last day the park was open this year.
KingRCT3 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I had a train all by myself on the bobkart at Toverland. Nah, otherwise I remember that one ride alone in POTC, in Disneyland Paris. No flash pictures or talking from other guests, what a wonderful experience!
