The Best Terrain Coaster

[2012jarrett]

Wood:

Voyage

Beast

 

Steel:

Banshee

Cheetah Hunt (IDK if this counts but it does interact with certain elements quite nicely)

Vortex (Canada's Wonderland)

Wild Eagle

Ninja (SFOG)

Loch Ness Monster

^ Was there another Ninja at SFOG? Because I certainly don't remember it being a terrain coaster.

The world doesn't have enough terrain coasters.

 

I love Boulder Dash. I also really liked the second half of Ultimate.

Boulder Dash and Thunderation stand out to me.

Maverick!!!!!!

[Moose]

^to me Maverick doesn't count as terrain since all of its is manufactured theming. I prefer coasters that use the natural landscape to their advantage, like The Ultimate's second half.

Boulder Dash and Thunderation stand out to me.

 

100% Agree!

Outlaw Run! (If that counts as a terrain coaster)

[Jcoaster]

Boulder Dash no question. I rode it recently and it is rivaling El Toro. That thing is a beast.

[coasterbill]

I guess it depends on what you consider a Terrain coaster. People are being pretty liberal with their definitions.

 

My first thought was Boulder Dash. The Beast came to mind too, the Beast is better than Boulder Dash at night and Boulder Dash is better than the Beast during the day. The Beast isn't much of a terrain coaster except for in a few spots though.

 

I saw a few people mention Tatsu but I don't see how that's a terrain coaster. If it is then that gets my vote. Honorable mention goes to Tennessee Tornado because it's amazing.

Nice to know I'm not the only one that really liked the second half of The Ultimate.

100% agree with this.

Phantom's Revenge is a pretty spectacular terrain coaster.

 

Honorable mention is Thunderhead at Dollywood. Never been, but the layout looks amazing.

[IntaminLove]

The Beast. It's a fun day ride, but an awesome night ride.

[rctneil]

Got to say the Ultimate for this. The Ultimate really is a terrain coaster.

 

The first and second halves are very very different rides. First lulls you into a false sense of security and then the second just beats you like crazy. It's a very strange but very fun ride to ride. Attempting to get through the duration of the second half whilst keeping your arms in the air is tricky but doable but be prepared to be bruised totally!

 

oh and it's a very long ride too.

[Moose]

I would have said the first half lulls you to sleep!

Iron Rattler

They aren't really coasters but still Alpine Coasters and it is cool to ride them down a hill or a mountain just a few feets over the ground and you can control the speed!

Rollo Coaster Idlewild needs a vote so I'll go with it. BD was raw enough to actually hurt my back in the cold this fall, still great, but not endlessly rerideable on that particular visit for me. I may be forced to move it down my rankings.

My favorite terrain coasters are easily The Beast and then Boulderdash. Boulderdash would win if it had a tunnel. I like me my tunnels.

How to build a terrain coaster: For best results, build it on the side of a mountain. Outlaw Run easily wins for me.
