Mossed Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Out of the parks I've been to, I'd say Cedar Point has the best 1-2 punch with Millennium Force and Steel Vengeance (sorry Maverick fans) You don't have to apologize for picking an inferior coaster to Maverick. That is on you. Definitely Cedar Point - Steel Vengeance and Maverick. This park wins even if one of those two didn't exist.
Samuel Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Skyrush & Lightning Racer (one's crazy, the other's fun -- I love 'em both) Magnum & Millennium Force (iconic record-breakers and faces of the franchise) Dragster & Millennium Force (my pick) With all of the one-trick pony talk, Kingda Ka being a little bit bigger, downtime, and having Maverick/Steel Vengeance there, I feel like the most exhilarating ride in the park has become a little bit underrated. Dragster is it still the only coaster that makes me say "gulp," and then I giggle like an RCT peep at the exit and run right back in line.
joelwee Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Cedar Point: Maverick (1) + Steel Vengeance (2) = 3 SFMM: Twisted Colossus (4) + X2 (6) = 10 Knott's Berry Farm: Xcelerator (8) + Ghostrider (10) = 18 Kings Island: Diamondback (9) + Mystic Timbers (11) = 20
coasterferg Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 How about Iron Rattler and Wonder Woman at SF Fiesta Texas? Hard to beat TWO RMC's!
LiftThrill Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Using the nerdy ranking list method, here's every two-punch with a coaster in my top ten currently: Millennium Force (1) + Maverick (4) || Cedar Point (5) Outlaw Run (3) + Time Traveler (8) || Silver Dollar City (11) New Texas Giant (2) + ShockWave (11) || Six Flags Over Texas (13) Iron Rattler (5) + Wonder Woman: Golden Lasso Coaster (12) || Six Flags Fiesta Texas (17) Goliath (7) + Raging Bull (9) || Six Flags Great America (18) The Voyage (6) + Thunderbird (22) || Holiday World (28) Diamondback (10) + The Beast (19) || Kings Island (29)
PKI Jizzman Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Storm Chaser and Lightning Run are both epic coasters. They totally lived up to the hype and are one of the best one two punches in the US if you're looking for extreme airtime coasters.
Yubstep101 Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Also using the "rank method" because why not. Cedar Point (Steel Vengeance #1)+(Millennium Force #4)=5 Six Flags Great Adventure (El Toro #2)+(Nitro #12)=14 Kings Island (Mystic Timbers #6)+(Diamondback #10)=16 Six Flags New England (Wicked Cyclone #3)+(Superman #14)= 17 Kentucky Kingdom (Lightning Run #9)+(Storm Chaser #18)= 27

cal1br3tto Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Um, Cedar Point, anyone? (Rhetorical question.) So yeah, that's my answer, thanks to Steel Vengeance and Maverick. I'll do the nerdy ranking thing someday.
