Best One-Two Punch


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

New Texas Giant (2) + ShockWave (11) || Six Flags Over Texas (13)

Some honorable mentions that didn't quite make the cut: Taron/Black Mamba, Alpengesit/Apollo's Chariot, Outlaw Run/Wildfire, IRat/Superman, Flying Dino/Hollywood Dream

 

Some unridden combo's to look out for that could rank: Goliath/RMC Robin Hood, SD2000/RMC White Cyclone, IRat/Wonder Woman, iSpeed/Katun, Fury 325/Copperhead Strike, Twisted Cyclone/Goliath

 

I want to make a ranking like this for top 3 or even top 4 coaster collections!

I'm up to 52 credits. This is where every Park I've been to with 2 coasters ranks for me. This could change soon, as I'm hitting Dollywood and Lake Winnepesaukah.

 

Carowinds - Fury 325 (1) and Intimidator (4) = 5

Kings Dominion - Intimidator 305 (2) and Twisted Timbers (3) = 5

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom - Medusa (5) and Roar (12) = 17 (Haven't gotten on Joker yet)

Busch Gardens Williamsburg - Alpengeist (8) and Griffon (9) = 17

Disneyland Anaheim - California Screamin' (11) and Space Mountain (23) = 34

Walt Disney World - Rock 'n' Roller Coaster (19) and Expedition Everest (24) = 43

Legoland California - Dragon (39) and Coastersaurus (40) = 79

Mirabilandia: iSpeed + Katun. You're not going to beat that. Without a doubt, the best one-two punch.

 

Some runners up.

Six Flags Magic Mountain: X2 + Twisted Colossus

Busch Gardens Tampa: Kumba + Montu

Liseberg: Balder + Helix

Cedar Point: Steel Vengeance + Maverick. New best One-Two punch.
