redfoot12 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Goliath at SFNE before they added the new trains. Just curious, but when did Goliath get the new trains? I rode it in August of last year and didn't find anything objectionable about the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP Maverick Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I'm going to pick Expedition Everest, without even riding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Goliath at SFNE was my favorite Vekoma but it's now easily my least favorite thanks to the crappy new train that manages to give you unimaginable headbanging on perfectly straight track. Â I guess I'll go with Nighthawk at Carowinds now. I like all Vekoma flyers and that one has a great setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 According to my rankings its currently Stinger. Really smooth and dare I say... kinda fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideofSteel Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 According to my rankings its currently Stinger. Really smooth and dare I say... kinda fun. Â Agreed. I couldn't believe how much I liked Stinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyRCT3 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Firehawk at Kings Island. That loop & in-line rolls were bizarrely fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TunaSled Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Everest at WDW AK. Â I cannot stand Flying Dutchmans (Dutchmen?). Firehawk and Nighthawk are both awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctneil Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I have four favourites. Not in any particular order but all were really nice rides and smooth too: Â - Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars - Hong Kong Disneyland - Stingray - Ferris Wheel Park - Gravity Max - Lihpao Land - Millenium Coaster - Fantasy Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyislandchris Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I... I guess Sidewinder at Hersheypark? The only Boomerang I've been on that has the new vest restraints instead of the old big clunky OTSRs? I actually enjoy Boomerangs in general, though. Â I was hoping to say Goliath, but since the one time I was at SFNE it was out of service, I can't. :/ Maybe I can get back up there before Fright Fest ends if it's up and running again.

Paradox Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I was hoping to say Goliath, but since the one time I was at SFNE it was out of service, I can't. :/ Maybe I can get back up there before Fright Fest ends if it's up and running again. Â I wouldn't get my hopes up for it running again this season. Even if it was running, the trains absolutely ruin the ride. It was running all summer and I didn't even ride it because of the horror that ensued with the horrible trains. I guess SFNE just likes adding bad trains to good rides like they did with Bizarro.

n1ch0las Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Arkham Asylum at Warner Bros Movie World in Australia was actually a really great SLC experience. It had new trains and restraints that were vests and not headbang machines that all the other models have. Turns out when the ride isn't slowly torturing you its actually pretty great. Â Honorable mention goes to the GIBs around the world, when they work they are really fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieP Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I gotta say Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney Hollywood Studios, Expedition Everest at Disney Animal Kingdom, and (YES IT'S AN SLC!!!) Thunderhawk at Michigan's Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1000 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 All of the ones at Disneyland Paris and Studios. Yes, even Space Mountain: Mission II, I really like that ride. It's incredible what theming can do to mediocre coasters (and thus I guess the credit goes to Disney rather than Vekoma... But still...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasbron Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Personally, I love Rock n Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios. It's smooth and has one hell of a launch. I also like Ninja at SFoG. I don't know what it is about that ride but as long as you sit in the right place, it's a very enjoyable ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Fox Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Firehawk @ KI. Genuinely in my top few coasters. I can understand why it's not generally considered that amazing, but personally, I love it. One of the coasters I just can't get enough of.

Pyrozooka0 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Any Disney Vekoma, especially Everest and Rock n Rollercoaster. In the non-Disney division, Nighthawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFOG1991 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 GIBs are amazing. Â I also find Ninja at SFOG to be a great, intense, and unique coaster. I absolutely love it and while it isn't butter smooth I never understand all the hate. Maybe vest restraints can save it for those whose head is low enough that it gets bashed.

Suspence1127 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Out of Vekoma's I have been on, I got to say smoothness wise goes to Stinger. Very surprisingly smooth and intense. Funny story: when I rode it this year I got off and then no more than 5 cycles later the emergency brakes accidentally engaged and it got stuck at the bottom of the loop luckily it wasn't me. Â Honorable mention goes to The Great Nor' Easter for being the smoothest SLC (IMO) because of the comfortable restraints. Still feels like the train is going to rip off the tracks tho.
