Coaster Cordalis Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I'd go with The Swarm at Thorpe Park, as well... The glowing eyes are just great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commando Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 All of the Wing Rider cars look awesome. But The Swarm's would have to be my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texcoaster Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Not only do they look good, but the cars on Iron Shark are comfortable and the lack of OTSRs make the beyond-vertical drop a serious OMFG moment. There are signs on the pier saying "no profanity allowed" but those were installed before the coaster opened. Stand in the queue under that drop and you'll learn all kinds of new words!

australianalex Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 The trains on Manta at Seaworld San Diego look awesome. Â Also, Vekoma's new style looper trains are very attractive and surely improve the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolercstrluvr Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Most recently, i'd have to say those blue ghost flames on White Lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Mutts Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I like the look of the trains that will be on Outlaw Run at Silverdollar City. I hate those Intamin Standup trains with a passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardwalkbullet91507 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I agree all the way with Iron Shark! The lap bar is a bit uncomfortable as the bar itself is a triangle and the corner is what hits my thigh, not the flat part, but that giant grin up on the front makes the car look killer. But hey, I'll take a lap bar over the OTSR anytime! Â Hey Robb, you should do a POV sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMJr Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I always thought that the car on xscream looked pretty cool. Â It's "Xscream!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinning man Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I haven't ridden this coaster. But the train design and the seats sure do look groovy. It's called Hollywood Dream.

cfc Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 ^It's pretty cool the way the trains light up on this ride--one of the prettier B&M coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I still have no 'fave' when it comes to a roller coaster's train design and/or features. And tracked dark rides like Indy or Spiderman are still very cool dark ride experiences to ride again and again.... Â But for myself, it's still the trackless vehicles that push the envelope of a dark ride's experience. Or in the case of TDS' Aquatopia (outdoor)... good silly fun. Â I haven't ridden any that SallyCorp. and other companies are now coming out with. But Disney still does a good one like the latest and still best, "Pooh's Hunny Hunt" at Tokyo Disneyland. Â But that title could possibly change next year, with HKDL's opening of Mystic Manor, with two ride vehicles each taking off and doing the Haunted Mansion 'Dance', which should be very cool. Â And the following year, Paris' WDS' Kitchen Calamity (working title) is set to open it's doors. And there's still no leak on what that vehicle's supposed to be. Riders shrunk to the size of a rat. Hmmm... Â (Thanks to the HK Street Gazette for the pix.) Two of these will dance it out throughout Mystic Manor. (Final design still pending.) Even the seats look too plush to sit on!

australianalex Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 The KumbaK trains on Arkham Asylum at Warner Bros Movie World not only look awesome, they've also managed to turn a horrible SLC headbanger into a really decent, intense, enjoyable coaster! Their only design flaw is that for some reason the ride attendants have to do up the seatbelt for you, making loading times painfully slow. But at least the ride itself is no longer painful.

JonnyRCT3 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I know this thread is about the coolest looking ride vehicles. But, Phantom's Revenge has the UGLIEST cars I've ever seen. Giovanola hypercoaster cars are a close second, hideous. Â The coolest looking ones....Fiorano GT Challenge, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netdvn Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Any trains that are actually themed to something.  - Car-themed trains (Verbolten, Texas Giant, Rock n' Roller Coaster, Top Thrill Dragster) - Wing coaster trains (XRaptor, Swarm, X-Flight) - Trains that look like trains (Big Thunder Mountain, Expedition Everest, Maverick) - Trains that look like animals (Manta, Cheetah Hunt)  General train types - Dive Machine trains - Skyrush's trains - Intamin prefab trains - 4D coaster trains - Millennium Flyers and Timberliners  Disney/Universal can pull off some pretty cool vehicle designs.

jray21 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Just noticed that this hasn't been posted for at least three pages. http://themeparkreview.com/parks/pimages/Tokyo_DisneySea/The_Ultimate_TPR_Tokyo_DisneySea_Update/journey1.jpg  And this thread is over.   Quoted for truth.  Definitely these!  Also, I like Blue Fire's trains because they are super comfortable, and they have heart rate monitors on them!

GayCoasterGuy Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 As old and *retro* as they may be, I'll pick the old Anton/Intamin trains. I guess they don't look "the coolest" but they ride great; they're safe and you actually get real air time and even lateral time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Mutts Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I like Teststreckes (Laser from Dorney Park now on the German Fair ciricut) trains that were made by Zierer. I also like the lap bar only trains on the Boomerang at Wiener Prater in Austria (those lap bars look painful though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
