ShaneH Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 My favorite 1-2 punches are as follows. I based it on the coasters best combined ranking. For example, Diamondback is my 13 and Banshee is 22 so KI's number would be 35. Six Flags New England Wicked Cyclone + Superman =10 Six Flags Great Adventure El Toro + Nitro =13 Cedar Point MF + Dragster =19 Kings Dominion I305 + Volcano =22 Six Flags Over Texas Shockwave + NTaG =27 Kentucky Kingdom Lightning Run + Storm Chaser =27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFOG1991 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 In no particular order... Hersheypark: Skyrush + Storm Runner Dollywood: Thunderhead + Lightning Rod Cedar Point: Maverick + Magnum Knoebels: Phoenix + Twister Great Adventure: El Toro + Kingda Ka SFOG: Goliath + Mind Bender Holiday World: Voyage + Raven Out of all the parks I've visited I really can't think of any other One-Two punches. I guess it's more of an elite group than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I just went to the first couple I thought of, but I don't rank my coasters.

Jcoaster Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Hershey: Skyrush 1 + Stormrunner 8 = 9 Great Adventure: El Toro 2 + Batman 21 = 23 Six Flags New England Superman 3 + Wicked Cyclone 11 = 14 BGW: Apollo's Chariot 4 + Griffin 9 = 13 BGT: Montu 6 + Shiekra T9th = 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genx24 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Hersheypark: Skyrush (1) + Storm Runner (6) = 7 SFNE: Superman (4) + Wicked Cyclone (7) = 11 SFGAdv: El Toro (2) + Nitro (11) = 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I don't really have number rankings assigned to coasters I've ridden. Here are some that immediately stand out to me using the eyeball test... Kumba/Montu - Busch Tampa Skyrush/Storm Runner - Hersheypark Voyage/Pick one of the other two - Holiday World Outlaw Run/Powder Keg - Silver Dollar City ...and of course, Goliath/Flashback @ SFNE.

viking86 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 From the top of my head, in no particular order as I don't do rankings. Some parks I haven't visited in a long time so I list them on how I felt at the time of the visit: Liseberg - Helix/Balder SFGADV - El Toro/Nitro (2008 visit) BGT - Kumba/Montu IoA - Hulk / Dragons Parque Warner - Batman la Fuga / Superman la Atracción de Acero (2003 visit)* *To be honest I'm not sure how I would rank the latter now. But when I rode it back in 2003 I had only been on a handful non-kiddie coasters and it absolutely blew my mind back then, so I figured it was worth mentioning.

savetheclocktower Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 This is dorky as anything but fun so I'll bite... lol Milennium Force and Maverick: 5 Kumba and Montu: 12 Fury325 and Afterburn: 21 Phoenix and Twister: 23 Come on man, get it together! With all the Knoebel's advocacy we see from you, I'm shocked that your rating isn't: "Phoenix and Twister: 2" Or are you fighting with them right now because your pierogis weren't buttery enough the last time you visited?

chickenbowl Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) This is fun! My list may be innaccurate because I separate wood and steel rankings... A #25 wood isn't quite the same level as a #25 steel. Cedar Point - Maverick(2) + Millennium Force(14) = 16 Holiday World - Voyage(4) + Legend(12) = 16 Six Flags New England - Superman the Ride(8) + Wicked Cyclone(12) = 20 SFGAdv - El Toro(2) + Nitro(18) = 20 Hersheypark - Skyrush(3) + Storm Runner(20) = 23 Knoebel's - Pheonix(3) + Twister(20) = 23 Canada's Wonderland - Leviathan(13) + Behemoth(10) = 23 King's Island - Beast(9) + Diamondback(16) = 25 Carowinds - Fury 325(5) + Intimidator(24) = 29 Six Flags Mexico - Medusa Steel Coaster(4) + Superman el Ultimo Escape(26) = 30 Kentucky Kingdom - Storm Chaser(15) + Lightning Run(17) = 32 SFGAm - Goliath(6) + Raging Bull(27) = 33 SFFT - Iron Rattler(6) + Superman Krypton Coaster(33) = 39 Silver Dollar City - Outlaw Run(1) + Wildfire(38) = 39 King's Dominion desperately needs another rank-able coaster... They have I305 and a nothing else that's truly "great" Also, if Lightning Rod was open when I visited last month, Dollywood would SURELY win for me. And as far as non-visited parks go... Helix/Balder, iSpeed/Katun, Flying Aces/Formula Rossa, Taron/Black Mamba, Goliath/Lost Gravity, Blue Fire/Silver Star or Wodan, Shambhala/Dragon Khan, Viper/Havoc in Heaven Palace, T Express/Herky & Timmy's Racing Coaster all look like excellent combos!

thrillseeker4552 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 What I've ridden... SFNE: Wicked Cyclone + Superman the Ride SFGAdv: El Toro + Nitro (honorable mention: Kingda Ka) Hersheypark: Skyrush + Storm Runner Kings Island: Banshee + Diamondback (honorable mention: Beast) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I'm just going to wing this from what my rankings are in my head, maybe I'll do an "official" one later... Cedar Point: Maverick + Millennium Hershey: Skyrush + Storm Runner/Fahrenheit (Both are close and switch often for me) SFGADV: El Toro + Nitro Darien Lake: Ride of Steel + Predator BGT: Kumba + Montu BGW: Apollo + Alpengeist CW: Behemoth + Leviathan Once I get back to SFNE, Superman and Wicked Cyclone should be high.

BelgianBullet Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 From the parks I have done I think about the next parks Phantasialand (Taron 1 + Black Mamba 5) = 6 Europapark (Silver Star 4 + Blue Fire 8) = 12 Heide Park (Flug der Dämonen 7 + Colossos 11) = 18 Hansa Park (Schwur des Kärnan 3 + Fluch von Novgorod 17) = 20 Parc Asterix (Goudurix 10 + OZiris 20) = 30 (yes people will disagree with this one) Djurs Sommerland (Juvelen 14 + Piraten 26) = 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpizzle Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Random order: Kings Dominion- Intimidator + Volcano SFGA- El Toro + Kingda Ka Hershey- Skyrush + Storm Runner CP- Maverick + Millenium Force Magic Kingdom- Space Mountain + Big Thunder Mountain (classics) I would say SFNE with Wicked Cyclone and Bizzaro (when I rode it), but Bizzaro was such a let down. Perhaps it was just having a bad day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftThrill Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I haven't been there but Kentucky Kingdom seems to be one of the best candidates for this. For where I have been, here are the parks that are under 20. Cedar Point (5): Millennium Force (1) and Maverick (4) Six Flags Over Texas (10): New Texas Giant (2) and ShockWave (8) Silver Dollar City (16): Outlaw Run (3) and Powder Keg (13) Kings Island (18): Diamondback (7) and The Beast (11) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_s Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 King's Dominion desperately needs another rank-able coaster... They have I305 and a nothing else that's truly "great" Even if the ranking isn't that high, Volcano is a fitting follow-up to I305, so considering actually riding both coasters in a series, it's a great "One-Two Punch" indeed. If I was going totally by rankings (if I had any), Dominator would appear instead of Volcano, but I almost never actually ride them in series, in either order. The other combos in my much more limited experience: Hershey (pre-Skyrush): Lightning Run, Storm Runner BGW: any 2 of Griffon, Alps and Apollo SFA: although I love Roar and even Mind Eraser, the park has Helix Twins in Superman and Wild One.

bert425 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I don't really "rank" either. .but if I had to choose a favorite, I JUST got a new choice as of Wednesday: SeaWorld Orlando: Manta + Mako. . . . blew me away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Silver Dollar City: Outlaw Run + Powder Keg Cedar Point: Maverick + Top Thrill Dragster FujiQ: Dodonpa + Eejanaika (Fujiyama and Takabisha are also incredible, best 4 big coaster combo in the world IMO) KK: Storm Chaser + Lightning Run Tobu Zoo: Kawasemi + Regina BGT: Kumba + Montu KI: Beast + Banshee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytterbiumanalyst Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) I only rank the top ten; I don't really care to decide which is the 46th and 47th, as they're about equal and I'd probably be riding something else. Three parks have 2 rides in my top ten: Cedar Point - Millennium Force, Magnum XL-200, and Maverick Kings Island - Beast and Diamondback Silver Dollar City - Outlaw Run and Wildfire Edited July 16, 2016 by ytterbiumanalyst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
