martinb Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Pretty simple this, what is the best rollercoaster in the world? Im hoping for many americans to reply as im planning on taking a trip to America this year and i want to know where to go to ride the best rollercoasters! Im not going to do the tradtional thing that everyone does and go to Florida, I fancy somewhere different! Like California, SFMM But it dont matter where your from, post you opinions!
mightypotato Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 According to the Mitch Hawker poll, its a tie between Expedition GeForce and Superman: Ride of Steel (Six Flags New England). According to the Golden Ticket Awards, Millennium Force is the best coaster in the world. I would trust the Hawker poll myself, but its up to you.
martinb Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 EXPO GEFORCE does look great, Superman: Ride of steel looks Naff but Millenium Force looks BRILLIANT! I dont meen to sound rude or anything but i am asking for TPR's member own opinions! So what is in your opinion?
The Riddler Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 For me the best coaster i've done is Expedition G-Force in Holiday Park Germany. For somebody else that cold be a different coaster, that's not the same by everybody.
mightypotato Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I dont meen to sound rude or anything but i am asking for TPR's member own opinions! So what is in your opinion? No worries. My personal favourite is Millennium Force. I absolutely love that ride.
coasterlover420 Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 For most people: Millennium Force From what people tell me: S:ROS To Me: Top Thrill Dragster
ECZenith Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I've been on SFNE's Superman Ride Of Steel hundreds of times, hands down my favorite coaster. Others that I really enjoyed were SheiKra, Nitro, Millennium Force, Storm Runner and Apollo's Chariot.
martinb Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 So far mines, Nemesis and its guna have to be one hell of a coaster to be it!

hyyyper Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 you ppl ain't gonna believe this, but my alltime fav is world's first and most rough and painfull SLC Walibi's El Condor
Swimace Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 My top 3: 1)Apollo's Chariot 2)Storm Runner 3)SheiKra Although I believe Mitch Hawker's poll had those rides in the exact opposite order, with SFA's Superman (which isn't even in my top ten) ahead of all of those. It just goes to show you how much people's opinions can differ.
Thrillrider15 Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 To me, it is the Kraken at Sea World Orlando.
Gnome Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 EXPO GEFORCE does look great, Superman: Ride of steel looks Naff but Millenium Force looks BRILLIANT! I dont meen to sound rude or anything but i am asking for TPR's member own opinions! So what is in your opinion? Whats funny about that is Mitch Hawker's poll is generally TPR's opinion. In fact its the whole coaster community's opinion. I would take that into serious consideration. Anyways, I wouldn't say MF looks brilliant, but it looks a great ride, no doubt. All though I would rather have S:ROS NE's super ejector air time hills over MF's Speed & Hight.
Swimace Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I think people put too much weight on polls like that. I think it's a fun thing to look at, but in the end it's all about personal choice; like i said, my top three coasters go in reverse order on the poll with a coaster that's not even in my top 10 ahead of all three of them.
downunder Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I haven't been on Expedition GeForce, so it's Superman Ride of Steel at SFNE for me by the length of the straight. Trailing behind Supers, Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster, and X - some will sneer but they're the one's I liked.
M_Force_4_ever Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 some of my favorites are Steel-Millennium Force, Hypersonic XLC, Apollo's Chariot, Raging Bull, Superman: Ride of steel (SFA) Wood-Raven, Legend, Hades, Avalanche, Shivering Timbers, Roar (SFA), Viper
DeadDestroyer Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Jaguar at Knott's Berry Farm But seriously my coaster experience is limited to So Cal, so I guess X.
rollermonkey Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 The one you are on at the moment you are on it! After you get off, it's all about what you like. Do you like loops, airtime, laterals, a great view? Subjective question based solely on opinion and personal preference. NEXT!
martinb Posted February 2, 2006 Author Posted February 2, 2006 This IMO isnt the best but it is one of the best and is over looked too much because it a vekoma! But it is one of the biggest inverted coasters in the world, infact its the second biggest full circuit inverted coaster in the world behind Alpengiest! So i think it deserves some creidt, it is 170ft tall, it does have one of the biggest vertical loops in the world (124ft)!Also features a 65 degree 160ft first drop! The Jubilee Odyessy!!!
Inferno Insane Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 So i think it deserves some creidt, it is 170ft tall, it does have one of the biggest vertical loops in the world (124ft)!Also features a 65 degree 160ft first drop! The Jubilee Odyessy!!! One credit it dose deserves is being a Rip Off at £4 a ride which isn’t worth it just to get your whole head crushed side to side through out. This is one of the worst Custom SLC I ridden and no way in a hurry to ride again.
martinb Posted February 2, 2006 Author Posted February 2, 2006 the latter part of the ride is rought but the first part isnt, ive never hurt my head on it!
momo1tx Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 I guess it's all based on opinion. Some rides people love other people loathe, like the ride pictured above. Just go to parks with a variety of types of coasters, decide what you like best, and hone in on that type of ride when choosing park visits.
socalMAN123 Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 I personally think Goliath @ SFMM is the best coaster ever. The overall speed, height, G-forces, and airtime. Brent "now you can tell how low my coaster count is!" Shenton
