pcw guy Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 I am also going to say dragon mountian even though I have not rode yet by the pics and pov vid, it looks awesome, plus it is the closest terrian coaster to me that I know of
ConleyKE Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 WOW I am shocked that no one has mentioned The Beast at PKI. Although not new, it is by far the best classic terrain coaster!!! It's Amazing!
nannerdw Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 1. The Voyage 2. Mindbender @ SFOG 3. Tennessee Tornado
Reon Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Cyclops at Mt. Olympus. That thing is pure insanity.... Also Beast.
pkdcoaster Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Easy Jokers Jinx!!!!! J/K! To me the Coaster that used the terrain the best was Hercules and Steel Phantom/Revenge My Favs are all BGE's coasters and the Beast JEFF
apollo210 Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Apollo's Chariot, Big Bad Wolf, and Loch Ness Monster
coasterbilly Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 the Beast was said! By me the second post!! I did forget about Dragon Mountain, sure is one of the best
The Angry Darren Mullins Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 The Eagle Fortress at Everland in South Korea is my favorite terrain coaster. Everyone needs to experience this and then ask why there weren't more Arrow suspended coasters built.
307 Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Whats Dragons Mountain? It's an Arrow looper at MarineLand in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. It's been operating for 23 years now. http://rcdb.com/id185.htm There's the RCDB profile for it. It's pretty long, and really uses the terrain well. It seems slow and forceless, however, and man the lift hill takes forever to get up. Despite it only being about an hour and twenty minutes away, I've never been on this coaster. Maybe it's something to do with the park costing $40 a damn visit. Ugh. Not worth it for a single credit [i have the Tivoli credit].
Dailey Enterprizes Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Ravine Flyer II when it's completed , um I'd have to go with the coaster that best utilizes it's terrain and that is the Thunderbolt. I mean it could have easily gone to the Phantom's Revenge, but nothing can really beat a John Miller/Andy Vettel coaster.
Guest Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 BoulderDash and Beast win the terrain category hands down. Not surprisingly, these are my #1 and #2 coasters of any type. For steel I'd have to go with the three built on the sides of a certain magic mountain (Gold Rusher, Ninja, and Tatsu), any of which are more fun than their flatland counterparts. Terrain coaster = automatically more appealing. Honorable mentions: Top Gun at PKI, the Kennywoodies, & Krypton @ FiestaTX. Going over 50mph through here, not even half done yet.... BoulderDash is king!
WillMontu Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 The best I've been on would have to be the Banana at Liseberg.
jarmor Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Thunderhead really takes advantage of the terrain as well as tenn tornado.
MSLSM Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 For me, it depends on what you call a terrain coaster. 1. Hades-great coaster that never lets up 2. Zeus-air time, air time, air time 3. Whizzer-great classic 4. Cyclops-great ride filled with air time 5. Iron Dragon-I actually like this coaster, but it is the only suspended I've ridden
eddie200330 Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 very few of these sound like terrain coasters?? Beast yeah, because it just sorta runs along the ground never far off except for the 2 lifts. AC, LNM at BGE are not really terrain, the are built high off the ground. Jack Rabbit at KW kinda fits here, the first drop and second half of double dip I don't think even require supports!!! There is grass growing up between the rails!!!
apollo210 Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 The only reason why Apollo's Chariot and Loch Ness Monster are considered terrain is because of there dives into the water, Same with Big Bad Wolf.
JimmyBo Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Hands Down...Nemesis. If you have to blow up the cliff along side of the ride I think that counts as the best terrain coaster. Tatsu and Banana Coaster coming into a tie for second
lapseofreason Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Tatsu, hands down. -Amanda "16 rides this year and counting....whoa... that's about once a week" V.
Oni Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Just going by what I've been on, I'm caught somewhere between Hydra, Phantom's Revenge, Thunderbolt, Hercules, Loch Ness, Big Bad Wolf, and........... the Vekoma SLC [Am I the only one who actually thinks that they're good coasters?] So basically, I'm stuck between Pittsburgh, Allentown, and Williamsburg. Could that be somewhere in West Virginia? I'm indecisive when it comes to these things - Someone pick one and put some words in my mouth.
cannonballer Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 1. The Voyage2. Mindbender @ SFOG 3. Tennessee Tornado I agree.. UMLESS Thunderhead is considered a terrain (i dont think it is) then add it to #1 and take voyage completly off!
coasterchi Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Well, you don't have much "real" terrain coasters in Europe.. The only one's in my area are Nemesis and Black Mamba... i didn't do Nemesis yet so my nr. 1 is very easy then: 1. Black Mamba
