Best And Worst Coaster In California

[Scaparri]

Uh that would have to be X2 for the best all the way even though I haven't been on it yet I already know its the best.

 

Not another one of those...

[laqueefa]

Worst Woodie: the Grizzly

Best Woodie: the Giant Dipper

 

Worst Steel:

Best Steel: the X's have it! a tie between X2 & Xcelerator

Best Steel pretending to be a Woodie: California Screamin'

[ahecht]

Best: X

Worst: X

 

Yup, my best and worst coaster rides have both been on the same temperamental beast. I've yet to ride it as X2, but I don't count that as a new coaster anyway.

[Mechanic]

"Best" is a tough choice because there are a lot of coasters I like a lot. Tatsu is up there pretty high in my personal rankings, along with Xcellerator, Space Mountain and California Screamin. Maybe finally getting to ride X2 will change my mind?

 

Worst is easy: Grizzly at CGA. It may be the worst coaster ever, anywhere.

I don't think you have read the topic title??

This topic is about the best and worst coaster in California!!

 

 

Worst steel: Vortex (CGA) - A real torture device

Best steel: That's difficult - Tatsu (SFMM), Xcelerator (KBF) or Riddler's Revenge (SFMM).

I haven't been on X (or X2) yet, because it was closed during my SoCal visit in 2006.

 

Worst wood: Grizzly (CGA) - The world's largest piece of fire wood

Best wood: Big Dipper (Belmont Park),

if I had done Ghostrider (KBF) back in 2006, this would have been the best woodie in California, But it was closed

[shepp]

Since there aren't really all that many outstanding coasters in CA, especially NorCal, there seems to be a pretty broad consensus...which I'll join, more or less.

 

Best steel: XCelerator, Tatsu, X2, with a shoutout to the drop and helix on Goliath. Oh, and the new Space Mountain is pretty splendid.

 

Best wood: GR was down last week, and my memories of it are pretty rough. Roar at night, on the other hand, can be amazing.

 

Worst steel: so many to choose from. Kong, I guess.

 

Worst wood: why fight the world? Grizzly.

[SFAfan#1]

Im my opinion:

 

Ninja SFMM is the worst

 

Riddlers Revenge and X2 SFMM are tied for the best

[HAYASHI]

I agree with some of the ppls list here, but here's my pick.

 

Best Steel: Top Gun (PGA) pulls nice lat/ver g-forces.

 

Best Wood: GhostRider (KBF) the momentum is constant and swift at various points

 

I would consider my worst list, not a worst at all, but rather, disappointments.

 

Steel: Vortex (PGA) for a compact lay-out -stand up, all it offered me was a nice intense lateral dip before the corkscrew at the end.

 

Wood: Psyclone (SFMM) momentum of the ride was like pressing pause and play. the ride 'played' on every drop, however, every climb/crest the train made was slow enough to 'pause' my excitement.

[coastersfosho]

Best: x2 (SFMM)

Worst: Boomerang (KBF)

[the ghost]

I've only been to SFMM, and Disney (both parks) in California.

 

Best: Deja VU

Worst: (Tie) Superman the Escape, Space Mountain, and Viper

 

Wow, I've never heard anyone call space mountain one of the worst and Vu as the best. You have unusual taste in coasters.

[socalMAN123]

Best: X, Riddler's Revenge, Xcelerator

Worst: Deja Vu, Mullholland Madness

[SFjunkie2010]

I've Only Been to SFMM and Disneyland

Best: Tatsu, Scream!

Worst: Mullholland Madness

[californiascreamer1]

best: Xcelerator

 

worst: Ghostrider, i think that its way to old and rickety but some people like it so dont kill me for having an opinion.

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

Best X1 (call me old fashioned, but i like it better the way it was) , every B&M at MM except Scream and Xcelerator

 

Worst None really. Maybe Scream.

[haiderodes]

best: California Screamin' (DCA)

 

worst: Kong (SFDK)

[onewheeled999]

best: California Screamin' (DCA)

 

worst: Kong (SFDK)

[ihani]

X is evil and rough though, isn't it? I know there are way worse coasters, but California Screamin' annoys me. I don't think it's that good, since they added the trims and stuff.

[thrillgeek]

I've been to SFDK, DL, DCA, SCBB and SFMM so....

 

Best: The original X (Haven't been since 2004)

 

Worst: This is a tough one for me. I think it's a tie between Grizzly (CGA) and Kong (SFDK)

[rcdude]

I've been to every major amusement park in California.

 

Best: Tatsu at Six Flags Magic Mountain

 

Worst: Demon at California's Great America

[Rollerman87]

Best: Riddler's Revenge (I'm a sucker for B&Ms), although X2 is a close second.

 

Worst: Ghostrider. Bleck. I miss Psyclone, a fun version of pain

[thrillgeek]

^I agree. Phyclone really hurt but had some air time to keep me occupied while I was riding
