SFOG1991 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 White Lightning at FunSpot Orlando is ridiculously fun. It is a perfect mix of playful and intense. You finish the ride out of breath from both the intense pacing and your own laughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagineer Josh Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Goliath at Six Flags Great America. OMG I cannot resist that drop, the inversions, and the speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphantom91 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 For me it's definitely Verbolten. I can get my entire family on the ride and we all love it. The German themeing is great and I love the added intensity of the black forest. No one sees the free-fall coming either just adding to it. This might also have to do with BBW being one of my first coasters too.... (Oh the memories) If I'm with a first-time rider on Verbolten, I never tell them about the free-fall drop. Neither do I! The look on their faces after is way too priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I'm going to go with Goliath at SFMM. The ERT that we had on it at WCB a few years ago was a blast. I think that I rode 7 times in a row with only having to change seats a couple of times. Not the fastest, tallest or craziest, but just butter smooth, comfortable and lots of fun. Really want to get to Texas so I can try out Titan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p-sychiatrist Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Pretty much any ride, coaster or not, at Knoebels. I'll never forget my night rides on Millennium Force and Boulder Dash with El Toro_Ryan and of course all the great memories riding Nitro, El Toro, and Kingda Ka (Skull Mountain too). Riding Grizzly and Steel Force with my friends and fooling around way too much. Riding Furius Baco with my mom and brother, who made the terrible decision of sitting in the outer wing seat in row 5 . Convincing my dad and girlfriend at the time (who are both not very big coaster fans) to ride Phoenix was probably one of the funniest moments of my life. My dad was screaming his head off because he thought he was actually going to be thrown out of his seat and die. For me the "most fun" coasters are the ones that I've made memories with friends and family while riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaznutta Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 So many of you are missing the 'Fun' element here. I have not seen any of these pop up along the way: Winjas @ Phatasialand Tarantula - Madrid parque attractions Colarado Adventure - Phantasialand Eurosat - Europa - Best park in the world! Stampida - Port Aventura Sidewinder - Knotts I-speed -Mirabalandia Revolution - Bobeejaanland If it makes you gooo WHHHEEEEEEEE! (not literally then its fun!)

coaster-mm Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Stampida - Port Aventura You call it 'fun'. I call it pain........a lot of pain. No fun at all[emoji12] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneH Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 B&M hyper are very fun relaxing rides that aren't very intense but big enough to be enjoyable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 My wife and I really enjoy B&M hypers, with Diamondback probably being our favorite. It's smooth and fast mixed with plenty of floater air time and decent positive G's near the bottom of every hill. I think most people would find B&M hyper coasters intense, especially outside of the snobbish enthusiast community. I agree with someone else who said they like Beast. It doesn't transition from element to element, but the setting, the nostalgia, and the sprawled out layout makes the coaster really enjoyable. While having ridden other 'wooden' coasters like Goliath (SFGam) and Outlaw Run I'm happy to say that I still enjoy rides on Beast. I would actually compare El Toro vs Phoenix to a McLaren 570 vs a Volkswagen GTI, if you know enough about cars to make that comparison. I get it.

I305forever Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Lightning racer is really fun to ride. So are B&M hypers. Despite all the hate they seem to be getting recently, I find them very re-ridable and relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Stampida - Port Aventura You call it 'fun'. I call it pain........a lot of pain. No fun at all[emoji12] That's funny as it was one of the coasters that made me have some of the most fun I've had on a ride. Perhaps it was because I was riding with some friends but the dueling aspect, the pops of air and the laterals made it extremely fun. It wasn't smooth but I'd say most wooden coasters I've been on were rougher (and no, I haven't been purposely selecting the worst ones). This was only based on one ride, though.

HAZE Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 My answer is simple... Anything by Anton Schwarzkopf. His rides are world-class in terms of just how enjoyable they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derpologist Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 ^This. Most Schwarzkopf rides have held up incredibly well, especially given their age. I think Mind Bender was my park favorite during a recent SFOG trip, and I never visit SFOT without riding Shock Wave. Just a damned fun coaster with forceful loops and nice pops of air, also remarkably smooth for pushing 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 You know what? I'm gonna go ahead and say Leviathan at Sea Paradise. Yeah, the Togo that has absolutely no right to be as awesome as it is. Shockingly smooth and full of airtime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnlloyd Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I would have to say that The Fly at Canada's Wonderland is one of the most fun coasters to ride! I just enjoy how you feel as if you're going to get tossed out of the seat while going around the tight turns! What makes it more fun is putting your hands up throughout the whole duration of the ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 ^Thats a great ride. Also like the drop at the beginning. Much better layout than other mouse coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 You know what? I'm gonna go ahead and say Surf Coaster Leviathan at Sea Paradise. Yeah, the Togo that has absolutely no right to be as awesome as it is... Fixed. (And an OOPS from me - I didn't know Surf Coaster had "Leviathan" after it. I just knew it as Surf Coaster.)

DorneyKid14 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Griffon at BGW and Talon at DP. Griffon is a coaster that I could take laps on all day and not get bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneH Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 The most fun I has this summer on a coaster was Thunderbird at HW. It's not the best coaster by any means, but it's super fun. Same. Also, Any B&M hyper of Millennium Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
