I've never been, but I think Kentucky Kingdom has one of the best one-two punches out there with Lightning Run and Storm Chaser. It really doesn't get much better than that.

 

As for parks I've visited, Six Flags New England (Wicked Cyclone and Superman) is the best one that comes to mind. And like others have said, especially with Steel Vengeance, Cedar Point will have a one-two-three-four-five punch!

Carowinds- Fury 325 & Afterburn

or

I have an update to my original post that includes a coaster absolutely nobody else would rank this high... Mystery Mine.

 

I don't know about that... I LOVE Mystery Mine!

SDC:

 

Outlaw Run + literally every other adult coaster in the park, pick any of them. Seriously the only park where the entire lineup is the one-two-three-four-five punch, and I haven't even started on the non coaster things

I got one word for you: Knoebels.

Now that Six Flags Over Georgia has Twisted Cyclone I’m not sure what their one two punch would be but they have quite the trifecta now with...

 

Goliath

Mind Bender

Twisted Cyclone

Posted

CP - Steel Vengeance + Maverick (not to mention MF) = /discussion

 

On the subject of parks where basically their entire coaster lineup is a 1-2-3 punch, I came away from Sea World Orlando with that feeling after this year's visit. Mako, Manta, and Kraken are at or near the top of all their respective categories, and are a killer trifecta for a park! Everything else that's awesome about SWO is just gravy!

Great topic.

Obvious answer is CP but that seems unfair there's so much. It's like a 1-2-3 (now 4) punch flurry.

 

So I'll go with

Kentucky Kingdom:

Storm Chaser and Lightning Run is a superb 1-2. Top 15 coasters, and LR prob will make my top 10 with some time now to think about it.

 

Honorable mention to Hersheypark

There are a lot of parks with a great one two punch. I guess the few that first come to mind

 

Lightning Run Storm Chaser

After Burn Fury

Mako Manta

Maverick Steel Ven (sadly I have not rode Steel Ven yet)

You don't have to apologize to me for picking an inferior coaster to SV. That is on you.

Besides, SV can't have fanboys... It only has real human beings with normal feelings who rank it #1, and synthetic androids, apparently...

 

And yes, that was a joke, in case it wasn't readily apparent... lol

Out of the parks I've been to, I'd say Cedar Point has the best 1-2 punch with Millennium Force and Steel Vengeance (sorry Maverick fans) followed by Kings Island with Mystic Timbers and Diamondback. Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags New England, and Kentucky Kingdom also have great 1-2 punches.
