chickenbowl 1 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. I disagree, I think Volcano is kinda fun in the front, but only for the first 7 seconds of the ride. Once you exit the volcano, the ride is pretty lame... Not a huge fan of Dominator either. These coasters aren't bad - They're far from great and do not even come close to being comparable to I305, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
PKI Jizzman 58 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Okay, I'll play. Maverick + Millennium Force Shockwave + New Texas Giant Outlaw Run + TNT/Wildfire/Powder Keg [honestly can't pick which I like best from those 3] Phantom's Revenge + Jackrabbit Link to post Share on other sites
Jew 109 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I miss Everland's 1/2 punch of Eagle Fortress and T-express Link to post Share on other sites
Jakizle 11 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Kolmarden: Wildfire and Delfinexpressen But really, Kentucky Kingdom SFNE Liseberg Are the first 3 parks that come to mind for their fantastic duos. And Liseberg is the only one where one is wood and one is steel. Link to post Share on other sites
DoinItForTheFame 36 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Silver Dollar City: Outlaw Run + Powder KegCedar Point: Maverick + Top Thrill Dragster FujiQ: Dodonpa + Eejanaika Yep, that about sums up my list. Link to post Share on other sites

boldikus 265 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 ^ Preach! I305 is mindblowing but Volcano and Dominator are totally solid, awesome rides. Dominator was the biggest surprise of my visit this weekend. That thing rips - Bizarro has finally been dethroned as my favorite floorless. I didn't get to ride Flight of Fear (stupid Haunt!) but having ridden Jokers Jinx I'm sure its totally great. Next year... But yeah I'll add I305 + Volcano and Alpengeist + Griffon (+ Apollo's Chariot) to my list of 1-2 punches Link to post Share on other sites
Hilltopper39 51 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Kumba & Sheikra (insert Montu if you please) Maverick & Magnum (shut up, I don't need your opinion, Magnum is awesome) Link to post Share on other sites
DaveDowning 0 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I must say, Phantasialand: Black Mamba + Taron plus Colorado + Raik Other great one-two´s: BGT: Montu + Kumba Liseberg: Helix + Balder Gardaland: Raptor + Oblivion Link to post Share on other sites

None of those are "excellent" and none of them deserve to be compared against combos like Storm Chaser+Lightning Run, Maverick+MForce, Superman+WC, Balder+Helix, Skyrush+Storm Runner, etc. I'm not even complaining about their coaster lineup (They have a ton of decent rides, and those three you listed are good), they just do not have a real "one-two punch" like other entries in this thread.

thrillrider 2 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 For me it would have to be sfga. With a combination of El Toro and kinda ka. And add nitro into the mix, and you have a good lineup. A close second would be Cedar point and sfmm. Millennium force and top thrill for cp, and x2 plus colossus and Goliath for sfmm. Link to post Share on other sites

None of those are "excellent" and none of them deserve to be compared against combos like Storm Chaser+Lightning Run, Maverick+MForce, Superman+WC, Balder+Helix, Skyrush+Storm Runner, etc. We just have different opinions of the word "excellent", you make it more of an exclusive term than me but I think we're sort of on the same page. Aside from Skyrush and Storm Runner everything you just named is an elite coaster in my opinion. I think that if a park has one of the greatest coasters ever built in I305 and surrounds it with coasters that are a slight step down but still amazing like the best floorless coaster in America, a super unique and awesome double launching Intamin invert that launches out of a damn volcano and (at least in my opinion with apologies to Mummy) the best indoor coaster in America that's pretty sick. Especially when right below that they have another tier of super fun coasters like Backlot, Avalanche and Grizzly. So in regards to this thread you could argue that they don't have a great 1-2 punch (though if you think Dominator, Volcano or Flight of Fear qualify then I won't argue with you because everyone has different tastes and they're all amazing), but regarding their coaster lineup I think it's awesome. I don't feel like they really "need" anything. PS: I f**king love Backlot Stunt Coaster. Link to post Share on other sites
Henry M 0 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I think Alton Towers delivers with Nemesis and Oblivion. Although technically they are at the same park, it takes half an hour to reach the other! Worth it though. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't feel like they really "need" anything. PS: I f**king love Backlot Stunt Coaster. Ok, cool! I mean there's a definite sense of subjectivity when deciding "best" of anything, but my only point was that I don't think KD can qualify for this thread with the current selection of coasters. I think Dominator is the 5th best floorless in the US (where's the zero-g?), far below Kraken . I also think Volcano is great, but for exactly 16 seconds - The rest is pretty dull. Regarding FoF - my height makes it hard for me to fully enjoy Premier trains and the MCBR kills all pacing from that point onward. Link to post Share on other sites
Stonem 0 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Best overall : Hansa Park --> Karnän + Fluch Von Novgorod. Both rides really pack a punch !!! Second deserved place : Mirabilandia --> Katun + iSpeed Link to post Share on other sites

TheCoasterKid211 1 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Kumba and Montu. They're very close to each other, and I've never seen the wait time for both exceed half an hour. Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Linn 0 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 SkyRush and Storm Runner by a decent amount for me. Honorable mention to Phoenix/Twister and El Toro/Kingda Ka. Link to post Share on other sites
Rai Fox 4 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 King's Island, Banshee + Beast. Could even remove either of those, replace it with Firehawk, and still have my top 1-2. Link to post Share on other sites
