Favorite Coaster at Cedar Point?

[BeansproutMidget]

Despite the fact that I haven't ridden all of the coasters at CP, Maverick takes the cake. It proves you don't have to be a towering giant or a speed demon or have a bajillion inversions (while this isn't a bad thing) to be a great and fun ride.

As of 2014...

 

1) Maverick

1a) MF at night

2) Millennium Force (daytime)

3) Raptor

4) Top Thrill Dragster

5) GateKeeper

6) Wicked Twister

7) Magnum

8) Gemini

9) Blue Streak

10) Iron Dragon

11) Mean Streak

12) Mantis

13) Cedar Creek Mine Ride

 

Haven't ridden Corkscrew, Wilderness Run or Woodstock Express.

 

I imagine Rougarou and Valravn will fall around 6 and 4, respectively.

 

Note that I rode Magnum on a rainy, single train operation day that probably didn't deliver to its full potential. I'll give it another go this summer.

[CoasterGypsy]

1. Maverick

2. Millennium Force (at night is euphoric and in a category of its own)

3. Top Thrill Dragster

4. Magnum (idk what it is, but I've never felt the pain on this ride that everyone talks about)

5. Wicked Twister

6. Gemini

7. Blue Streak (this ride literally makes me laugh out loud, it's just so fun to me)

 

I'm a sucker for a good gut-punching drop, so I'm hoping that Valvravn will be in my top 5

Time for another update!! (And another bump. Since it's again been a while since this topic has been posted in!)

 

I figured this time I'd just go ahead and post how they all rank for me.

 

1.) Top Thrill Dragster

2.) Maverick

3.) Millennium Force

4.) Wicked Twister

5.) Gatekeeper

6.) Valravn

7.) Blue Streak

8.) Magnum XL-200

9.) Rougarou

10.) Gemini

11.) Corkscrew

12.) Iron Dragon

13.) Cedar Creek Mine Ride

14.) Raptor

 

Haven't been on Steel Vengeance yet. However, I venture to say it will rank at number 3 right after Maverick and before Millennium Force.

Nice bump, the last time this was current I hadn't been to Cedar Point at all. I'll rank them according to how many times I rode them the last time I was there, which I think speaks to how enthusiastic I am about them.

 

1. Millennium Force (8)

2. Maverick (7)

3. Steel Vengeance (6)

4. Valravn (5)

5. Raptor (4)

6. Gatekeeper (3)

7. Magnum/Blue Streak/Gemini (2)

8. Everything else except Iron Dragon and the two kiddie coasters (1)

[boldikus]

1 Maverick

2 Steel Vengeance

3 Millennium Force

4 Magnum

5 Valravn

6 Raptor

7 Gatekeeper

8 Gemini

9 Blue Streak

10 Dragster

[thrillseeker4552]

As of my August 2017 visit, this is my list:

 

1. Maverick

2. Millennium Force

3. Top Thrill Dragster

4. Magnum XL-200

5. Valravn

6. GateKeeper

7. Raptor

8. Wicked Twister

9. Rougarou

10. Gemini

11. Blue Streak

12. Iron Dragon

13. Corkscrew

14. Cedar Creek Mine Ride

 

If life somewhat resumes to "normal" by mid-July, that is when I will be visiting Cedar Point (and Kings Island) again! But who the hell knows what will happen by then.

[coasterbill]

1) Millennium Force

2) Maverick

3) Steel Vengeance

4) Raptor

5) Top Thrill Dragster

 

Then it's all a blur

 

16 (or something) Pipe Scream

17) Corkscrew, which is the only coaster in the park that I don't enjoy though even that isn't awful.

 

PS: Raptor is so underrated, you people are on the good shit.

^ How is Magnum not even in your tops, though?

[ScreaminNewEngland]

1.) Maverick

2. Steel Vengeance

3.) Magnum

4.) Top Thrill

5.) Raptor

 

I agree that Raptor is incredibly underrated but Magnum is certainly hard to beat.

 

6.) Millennium

7.) GateKeeper

8.) Gemini

9.) Rougarou

10.) Wicked

 

The rest I don't really care enough to rank

My Top 3 is based on when I was there in June 2017, with Bert during CoasterMANIA! Vengeance wasn't open yet, so couldn't count that one. The others.... they were fine. And #3 is probably a surprise to some. But I really enjoyed it, every time I rode it. And it was more than a few times, too.

 

3. Gemini

2. Millennium Force

1. Maverick

Thanks Bert, for taking the photo! (o:
