cal1br3tto Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Best wood: Giant Dipper SCBB! (And I like it much better than Roar. I like Roar, but it doesn't have enough airtime for me.) Best steel: California Screamin'. [Edit: Medusa also.] This will come up for debate at some point as I ride it again and ride other CA coasters. Contrastingly, I wouldn't be surprised if Giant Dipper retains its position for quite some time. Worst wood: Grizzly. I don't hate it; not even close. I just think it is utterly pointless, and could've (should've, really) been infinitely better. Worst steel: Demon, Kong, and Boomerang Coast-to-Coaster. They each have something mildly fun to them, but overall I find them boring. This is out of 25 coasters at 7 parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreditCrazy Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I've been to nearly every park in California, and I'd have to say: Best: X2 Worst: Invertigo, Boomerang (KBF's, SFDK's is okay), and Hurricane (SCBB). I really, really hate those three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoasters Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Best: Xcelerator - The launch and tophat get me everytime! (Excluding small family coasters) Worst: Grizzly - Lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franc Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I have only been to 3 parks (SFMM-SFDK-Knotts). Best; Xcelerator Worst; Psyclone when it was there and Kong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Wooden: Giant Dipper Steel: Medusa Worst wood: Grizzly (I got off with shaken child syndrome!) Worst steel: Guess it would be Kong although I didn't find it THAT bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I know in the past I said about Grizz being the worst, but I'm starting to love it for being the worst. The past few rides on it though, it felt like it was trying to do something but couldn't quite pull it off...perhaps some airtime? It was delivering some slight floater air. My coaster experiences still have not changed yet as I haven't ridden anything outside of CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The past few rides on it though, it felt like it was trying to do something but couldn't quite pull it off...perhaps some airtime? It was delivering some slight floater air. That's exactly what I experienced in June. I was certain I felt two or three very faint spots of air during each ride. Is it because of the minor retracking? When I read about that, I was hoping it would improve the experience a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietcokevan Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Best Steel: X2 Best Wooden: Terminator Worst Steel: Kong Worst Wood: Ghostrider or Pysclone, neither are/were enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenOneChance Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 How can someone say Deja Vu is the worst ride in California? Deja Vu with row 16 = is AWESOME (no where near the worst) Anyways, from the parks I've been to in California (SFMM, Knotts) Recent: Best - X2/Goliath/Xcelerator Worst - Goldrusher/Jaguar/Superman The Escape (if you want to count it as one).

KnottsDisneyFarm Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Best=Xcelerator Worst=Pony Express (why does it exist exactly?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartnz Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Best: Xcelerator, I have a fetish for Intamin launchers. Worst: Mulholland Madness. Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. No wait! I take it back! Kong at SFDK! No, wait! Ghostrider! No, wait! I can't decide. Any of those. EDIT: How can you list Goldrusher and Jaguar! as the worst? I mean, they're not huge coasters, but they're good for what they are.

SFjunkie2010 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 from my experience best: Xcelerator or Tatsu Worst: timberline Twister haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 ^How dare you say Timberline Twister is the worst! As far as tiny kiddie coasters go, that ride is awesome, it has good airtime for the little ones, there are much worse kiddie coasters in Cali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atem122 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 ^^Screamin is my number 2 being outranked only by X2. I still like it more than Xcelerator, Medusa, Tatsu, and everything else in Cali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disneylander Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I also love Screamin'. It's highly underrated for what it is: excellent launch, respectable height, awesome "first" drop, and, oh god, those airtime hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcoaster Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Best - Probably X2 for me, but otherwise it's a tossup between it and Terminator, Tatsu, Riddler's Revenge, California Screamin', and good Ghostrider. Worst - Besides kiddies and Flashback (dead), probably Santa Monica's West Coaster. It's really boring for being the pier's star attraction and one of the most frequently filmed coasters.

CGA_88 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I just went on it last week. Don't get me wrong, most of the ride is fun, it's the last half of the ride after the MCBB that totally kills it for me; it's to jerky. It's those damn shoulder harnesses that are too low on my shoulders. The worst part is the entry to the corkscrews. If it weren't for that, it would probably be on my "best" list.
