What's your favorite non first hill drop on a wooden coaster

[Rollercoaster Rider]

One of the Zippin Pippin drops on the way back to the station. Something about 1 of the drops will amaze you.

[2012jarrett]

I would say the drop after the second high turn on Thunderhead that takes you over the queue entrance.

 

1:17 in this video

 

That drop really throws you out of your seat and you're already flying when you head into it.

El Toro's ejector hill over Rolling Thunder is amazing, especially for first time riders who aren't expecting it. I think that coaster has the strongest finish if any coaster I've ever ridden.

[Rollercoaster Rider]

The final hill on Ghost Rider

 

 

Cause then the ride is done. I know lame joke.

[DanM64]

^I agree with Bill- it HAS to be El Toro's hill over the former Rolling Thunder.

[boldikus]

El Toro's Rolling Thunder hill, no contest.

 

Also the double down on Jack Rabbit @ Kennywood. Wtf.

 

Honorable mention to Great White's (Moreys) final dip down "under" the boardwalk right before the turn into brake run. Quite a few first time riders caught off guard by that one.

[DoinItForTheFame]

Outlaw Run's dive under the lift hill!!

[coasterbill]

I'll just leave this here again.

For me it was the last part of the triple on Voyage until they went to full braking on the mcbr. I am not sure now.

 

I really really need to ride El Toro

I really really need to ride El Toro

 

[BigBad]

1. Phoenix's ending hops (seems like one element)

2. El Toro's jump over Rolling Thunder

3. Jack Rabbit's double dip

4. Thunderbolt's final drop

 

I haven't ridden Lightning Rod yet, but I'd imagine that the quad-down would be pretty terrific.

[Ape]

Actually any spot on Lightning rod is a great drop

[RollingCoasting]

Viper @SFGAm's drop after the double down

[B&MIntaminGCI]

1. El Toro's crossover hill.

2. Great White's returning bunny hops next to the lift

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Outlaw Run's second drop. As if the first drop weren't intense enough, the second hill flips you upside down, then the drop twists furiously to the left. It's the single most intense part of a very intense coaster.

RT Hill on El Toro without a doubt!

 

Honorable mention goes to the drop into the double helix on The Beast!

[gerstlaueringvar]

The drop back into the station on Hades 360.

Exactly!

 

Other than this, Outlaw Run's wave turn is pretty good.

[flagrockerthegreat]

Triple down on The Voyage with trim breaks off!

[Keetz]

I haven't ridden Lightning Rod yet, but I'd imagine that the quad-down would be pretty terrific.

 

Every air time hill following the 90 degree outside banked top hat are all insane. The fake out hill after the launch, and the big drop provide some awesome strong floater. Then the wave turn provides sideways floater ala Fury 325. Then its crazy twisty sideways airtime with the 90 degree outside banked top hat. It feels like a double stengel dive with sideways airtime. From there the ride pushes into over drive and you get 7 insane ejector moments up and down a mountain. All 7 of those hills get my vote.

 

RT hill on El Toro gets a close 2nd place. Lightning rod has more airtime moments, but El Toro gives delicious sustained ejector.

The second lift hill on The Beast. I've only ridden it once, back when I was a kid but I didn't realize it had a second lift hill and I was all like "No way! This ride's crazy! "

[9Armgeddon4]

Hoosier Hurricane drop that goes under the bridge and of course El Toro's hill over RT.

[gerstlaueringvar]

^I haven't been on El Toro but you're definitely the first one to put Hoosier Hurricane and El Toro together

[cookiex]

Balder's tunnel drop

Wildfire's post-outward bank drop

Rutschebanen (Tivoli)'s camelback hills

Rutschebanen (Bakken)'s second double drop pre-renovation (the ejector air was insane, such a shame the new brakes took it away)

Wodan's post-turn drop into the tunnel

[Canobie Coaster]

1) Jack Rabbit- Double Dip

2) El Toro- Rolling Thunder hill (one of the most intense airtime moments anywhere)

3) Cyclone (SFNE)- 4th hill (insane ejector air as this partially hidden & steep drop plunged into the structure)

4) GhostRider- The Drop (experienced it only as the GCI, reminded me a lot of the Cyclone's drop)

5) Thunderbolt (Kennywood)- This ride kind of cheats but that final hill is a great drop.

 

The Coney Island Cyclone, Georgia Cyclone, and Santa Cruz's Giant Dipper all have awesome hills throughout the ride, but none in particular stand out like the rides above.

Two I haven't seen mentioned that are way up there for me - the drop after the turnaround heading back toward the road on RVII, and the last drop in the tunnel on Seabreeze's Jackrabbit.
