Your favorite coasters

*sir clinksalot* · 07-05-2006, 11:50 PM

It seems that the last few weeks have seen a decided jump in "Non-Disney Park" threads, and I think it's awesome.

And since some other threads have been hijacked talking about our favorite coasters I thought why not start a thread about our favorite coasters. I've personally been on 130 coasters.

My Top 10 Coasters overall:

Phoenix - Knoebels
Storm Runner - Hersheypark
Nitro - Six Flags Great Adventure
Goliath - Six Flags Magic Mountain
Superman Ultimate Flight - Six Flags Great Adventure / Six Flags Over Georgia
Lightning Racer - Hersheypark
Xcelerator - Knott's Berry Farm
Mr. Freeze - Six Flags Over Texas
Top Gun - Paramounts Great America
Kingda Ka - Six Flags Great Adventure

Honorable mention (or rides I would love to ride lots and lots of times):

Great Bear - Hersheypark
Batman: TR - SFMM, SFOG, SFGADV, SFOT
Deja Vu - SFMM
Steel Force - Dorney Park
Georgia Scorcher - SFOG
Riddlers Revenge - SFMM
Superman Krypton Coaster - SFFT
Medusa - SFGADV
Medusa - SFMW
California Screamin' - DCA
Mr. Freeze - SFOT
V2 - SFMW
Mindbender - SFOG
Shockwave - SFOT

Nice list, Gregg.

I've frequented this section since it started, but most of my posts concern USH, LegoLand and Knott's.

Having had back surgery, most coasters these days are off of my "to do" list.

Keep up the great coaster threads though. At least I can enjoy reading about them!

My favorite is Tatsu over at Magic Mountain. X is a real close second. I also really enjoyed Rock n' Rollercoaster at the MGM. So smooth and so well themed. Racing around listening to Aerosmith music is a plus too. Mostly I like smooth rollercoasters that don't make me feel like I'm going to pass out.

MandaBella · 07-06-2006, 02:26 PM

Hmm...off the top of my head:

Apollo's Chariot - BGW
Alpengeist - BGW
Nitro - Great Adventure
Medusa - SF Great Adventure
Hulk - IOA
Hydra - Dorney
Talon -Dorney
Wildcat - Hershey Park
Superman - SF America
Rock 'n' Rollercoaster - MGM
Expedition Everest - AK
California Screamin' - DCA

I still haven't been to Cedar Point yet.

*sir clinksalot* · 07-06-2006, 02:27 PM

Aww man ... I forgot about GASM at SFOG.

tloolgb · 07-06-2006, 04:34 PM

It's my favorite wooden coaster.

But the ride is great.

Actually Hersheypark has a great selection of coasters that are just fun to ride.

i would have to say california screamin at DCA, motazooma revenge and silver bullert at Knotts.. Love these ones

Joshrzmeup · 07-06-2006, 08:05 PM

-The Beast - PKI
-The Italian Job Stunt Track - PKI
-Avatar: The Last Airbender - PKI
-Any ride at DL and DCA
-Superman's Great Escape - SFMM
-The Big Shot - Las Vegas

I have really only ever been to SFMM (once for a day in 2002) and PKI, other than DL and DCA a few times. I'm not much of a thrill coaster kind of person, i'm deathly afraid of heights. The only reason I even went on the last 2 mentioned was because my best friend tricked me onto it.

Hakuna Makarla · 07-06-2006, 08:11 PM

the Corkscrew, any one do this when it was at knotts? it was moved to Silverwood theme park in Idaho in 1990. I was told not to do this coaster, it was to rough on the body, whats your take on this?
