SFOGdude25 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I have a thing for classic trains, both in style and function. NAD Century Flyers, with their heavy padding and single position lap bars, have got to be my favorite to ride. NAD produced at least one single-headlight train that was also very beautiful. I have a picture of it somewhere but after like an hour of searching I still cannot find it. PTC produced a number of one-off, custom-designed trains in the 30's and 40's that were quite stunning. Both pictures below are from the book Roller Coasters by Scott Rutherford and are credited to the PTC archive. If PTC made pilot cars for their new 360 trains like these, they would be far and away my favorite coaster trains ever. Also these trains are beautiful. Yay Schwartzkopf!

MillenniumFangirl Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 The Magnum XL-200 trains are so eighties, so those are probably my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 My favorite Coaster Trains are Top Thrill Dragsters. (Mainly the Red Train.) They are so sleek, incredibly comfortable, and really pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 ^&^^ The seats are great except for the weird bulges at the sides of the headrest. I'm 6'2" and they stay directly behind my shoulders, it really hurts sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneH Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I really like the switchback trains and all the new timberliners by TGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Universe Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Seeing Valravn's trains at Chill out, i can say those cars will be very good looking especially on the track. I really can't wait for that holding brake and vertical drop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coloradocoasterguy Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I can tell trains I hate. Pony Express. Ouch painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelRush Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 My favorite Coaster Trains are Top Thrill Dragsters. (Mainly the Red Train.) They are so sleek, incredibly comfortable, and really pretty. They even used to have tail ends, too bad they took them off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookiex Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 And in America we freak out if someone pulls out a cell phone... Tivoli is weird in that its rules shift between draconian (the loose items policy on the star flyer) and anarchy (the brakemen give no f**ks) from ride to ride.

Tivoli is weird in that its rules shift between draconian (the loose items policy on the star flyer) and anarchy (the brakemen give no f**ks) from ride to ride. Probably because if a cell phone falls from a star flyer it could practically kill someone (I get nervous walking under them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnlloyd Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Here are my favourite coasters cars/trains: Firehawk's cars at Kings Island: Photo Credit: Kings Island Vortex's cars at Canada's Wonderland: Photo Credit: Canada's Wonderland Talon's cars at Dorney Park (I find older B&M inverted trains to be more comfortable): Photo Credit: Dorney Park Thunderhawk's trains at Dorney Park (Prior to the 2016 Season): Photo Credit: Dorney Park There are many other coaster cars and trains that I like but, these are my top four as of now.

flaffstar Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Man I think I turned into a Taron fanboy. These Trains are amazing, Good looking and you feel so free! They are even more comfortable than Mack Mega's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 It's not a coaster, but my favorite is the logs on Story Land's Bamboo Chutes. I mean look at that panda! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angle O. Descent Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 My vote goes to the B&M hyper V-trains. Not a bad view anywhere, and the whip you get in the back car down the first drop are definitely highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I had a really hard time coming up with an answer to this thread, I guess I just dont really care what trains look like. With that said... brace yourselves, I'm going to throw a molotov cocktail at this thread. Probably the coolest trains I've ever seen. *I'm also not a pussy and don't mind the restraints at all. BOOM!

michaellynn4 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 ^ I agree 100%. So open, so exposed, so wonderful. The first time I rode this coaster and sat down in the train, all I could keep thinking was "WHERE'S THE REST OF IT?!?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFOG1991 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 ^While I wish the restraints could sit more flat on your thighs, I agree 100% as well! These trains look great, ride smooth, and you can hardly even tell you are in the train while navigating the course. It feels like you are just being thrown around in the most wonderful way by an unknown force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
