rcdude Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Steel: California Screamin' (not a traditional out-and-back but still follows the same general layout) Magnum XL-200 X2 (not traditional) Wood: Giant Dipper Ghost Rider (L-shaped but still an out and back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I've heard that some people get tired of out-and-backs because the layout is so simple. I'm curious if that will ever happen to me. Personally, I like them a lot because of the airtime. The only really good ones I've been on are wooden. 1. Giant Dipper (10/10) 2. Timber Terror (10/10) 3. Coaster Thrill Ride (8/10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger01 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I would have to say Bug Dipper at Blackpool Pleasure Beach (England) Because it is traditional and awesome! A little bit of Pepsi Max aswell. (Photo from RCDB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I've had a few traditional out and backs to my name... Sky Streak at Boblo (now Titan @ Suelva Majico) Blue Streak-CP Magnum Big Dipper-GL Even Villain...well, it's a double out and back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEmmettBrown88 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Steel: Magnum XL-200 Wood: I used to love the racer's especially backwards, but now I would have to go with Blue Streak at CP... But does Voyage count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryemobeaver Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 ^If Voyage counts, than Voyage is the best out-n-back! My favorite classic out-n-back would probably be either Thunder Road at Carowinds or American Eagle at SFGAm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCTOR DOOM!!! Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 ^ Voyage counts and Voyage PWNS ALL!!! Steel imma go with Diamondback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaMiTsPaT Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 From my own experience, I'm going with Bizarro at SFNE for steel, and Boulderdash for wood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrutchfield Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I would say a steel hyper coaster...but, I'm going to have to go with American Eagle at SFGAm. It's always had a blast of sweet airtime! Too bad they don't run a train backwards anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djcoastermark Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 To me, I like the strict description of out and back. A coaster that goes out, turns around and follows basically the same path back. Examples are Blue Streak at CP, Racer at KI, RebelYell at KD, Starliner at Miracle Strip/ Cypress Gardens, for wood. Apollos Chariot for steel. Hands down, Blue Streak for wood and Apollo for steel. After that , there's modified O&B's, Modified figure eights, Dog leg O&B's etc, ie, White Lightning. All are good, but for pure out and backs, I go with Blue Streak at CP. Not to nit pick but there is a difference depending on how technical one wants to get. I like them all though, so any mods to the strictest definition dont really matter a whole lot . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBru Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I have always been a huge fan of Screamin' Eagle at SFStL. I think it's setting really adds to it, too. Same goes for GASM at SFOG, but its airtime is even more intense. What was Dania Beach Hurricane's layout considered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azza29 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 For me, Boulder Dash and Apollo's Chariot are the standouts. Steel Force and Wooden Warrior are definitely up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
