Eagle Rider Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 So my count is only 30 but will more than triple this summer as I make trips to CP, SFGAmer, PKI, and other parks. Ever since I was 13 I've wanted to ride Beast. I read an article in popular mechanics about the coaster and have been dreaming ever since the 80's? I'll enjoy my first Beast ride this June. Will I be disappointed? I think not because my expectations are within reason and I just want to have fun. What coaster do you dream about riding? If your count is really high, don't be a snob. This is about current, individual coaster dreams, not the "best" coaster on the planet.
RRollergod Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Expedition Everest!!! but im going to ride that soon and also i think a ride on Beast would be fun
coaster05 Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I would have to say Thunderhead and Tremors or the two I am thinking about now. Tremors being a lot harder to achieve. I am not including Balder or Voyage since they should definately happen this summer.
Dracosavant Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Dueling Dragons, Black Mamba, Expedition GeForce, Silver Star, and Kraken. I hope to get the first and the last this coming summer.
lapseofreason Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Seriously... Speed: The Ride and Desperado. They both look really cool and every time I ride past Desperado it's not open. Speed I just haven't gotten around to yet. -Amanda
Eagle Rider Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 Coaster05, I like your choices. I will ride both of these coasters within the next 2 years.
ebl Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 ^ Desperado is a nice, long ride, but it's rougher than hell. Imagine your typical Arrow mine train---going 80 mph! For me, I've always wanted to get to Cedar Point and ride everything they have. One day I just might get there. Eric
ECZenith Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Off the top of my head... Expedition GeForce Goliath (Europe) Atlantis Adventure (Lotte World) Superman Attracioen de Acero California Screamin' Nemesis
Carnage Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Personally I found Beast to be extremely over rated, boring, and painful. But to each his own. I hear it's a night ride which I haven't had a chance to ride. I'm not sure I have a specific coaster that I'm itching to ride. I've ridden nearly all types of coasters, so there's not much out there that is new to me.
Eagle Rider Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 ^Yeah, Beast probably is overrated. That doesn't change the fact that I've been dreaming of a ride on Beast for almost 20 years now and will fulfill my dream in just over 4 months. I also want to ride Revolution. This post is about dream rides, not best coasters.
shesaidboom Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Colossus at Heide Park Superman at Warner Brothers Movie World in Madrid Expedition Ge Force at Holiday Park X at SFMM [i keep hearing bad things about it, but I still want to ride it just because I've never been on anything like it] Silver Star at Europa Park Balder at Liseburg Goliath at Walibi World Some good bobsled coasters that are longer than Avalanche at PKD There are a few I'm going to ride this summer...Voyage, Hades, the weird looking Wild Mouse at Idlewild, Leap the Dips, Superman Ultimate Flight at SFGam, Superman Ride of Steel at Darien Lake. Uhhh...I'm sure there are more.
larrygator Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I've been lucky to get on most of the great woodies in the US over the past few years, but the one I really need to do someday, I don't know when is Tremors. Also I don't know when I'll make it to Cliff's. Maybe I can sneak Rampage in some time this year. FYI - I haven't ridden The Beast in 4 years, but it was one of those coasters I heard about for over 10 years before I finally rode it. Enjoy

s2pids2 Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 i know it's not even finished yet...but Black Mamba looks like it's going to be a great ride once it's done and themed! Phantasialand here I come! http://www.phantasialand-bruehl.de/park/bilder_/b_jan06.html
Shockwave Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Phantom's Revenge would be at the top of my list. Honourable mentions for Raven, Expedition GeForce and Balder.
nannerdw Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Ever since I was 13 I've wanted to ride Beast. I read an article in popular mechanics about the coaster and have been dreaming ever since the 80's? I'll enjoy my first Beast ride this June. Will I be disappointed? I think not because my expectations are within reason and I just want to have fun. I wasn't really impressed with the Beast. It felt to me like each part was stretched out just to make the ride longer. The ride did not have much airtime. The helix at the end is the only good part of the ride IMO, and even it is a little too rough. I would really love to ride Deja Vu @ SFOG, but I have always chickened out, afraid that I might black out and die!
s2pids2 Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I would really love to ride Deja Vu @ SFOG, but I have always chickened out, afraid that I might black out and die! Speaking of blacking out, I used to black out after the second loop of good ol' Shockwave at SF Great America, before they replaced it with Superman. It was still an interesting ride, but the on ride photos always looked funny because I would 'regain my senses,' right before the photo during the pretzel loop. Probably wasn't good for me to ride the dam thing, but still.
Hattuchili Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I am really looking forward to ride: Dueling Dragons Hulk Kraken Shaikra Expedition Everest Revange of the Mummy I will ride all of them this summer! I am sure this year will be my biggest coaster year! --Sören
