McSalsa Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 OK, here is a neat idea. Are there any coasters you think every true coaster lover MUST ride at least once before they die? List 10 and your reasons. If you think there are 2 "similar to each other" Reasons may include... -Legendary -Historical -Ride Experience -Record Holder -So bad you have to ride It to see how bad coasters can be! -Other And more. Here is my list...in no order. #1-The Beast @ Kings Island- Legendary, Ride Experience, and Record Holder! #2-Diamondback @ Kings Island OR Any B&M Hyper@ Various Parks- Ride Experience. I suggest DB but from what I have heard nearly every B&M Hyper is great. #3-X2 @ Six Flags Magic Mountain- Ride Experience. It's a very unique roller coaster. #4-Top Thrill Dragster @ Cedar Point OR Kingda Ka @ Six Flags Great Adventure- Ride Experience, and in the case of Kingda Ka, you get the record holder bonus. But the two are very similar rides and both stand over 420 feet, so they can be interchanged. #5-Cyclone @ Astroland- Historical Legend. #6-Leap The Dips @ Lakemont Park- Oldest Roller Coaster Still Standing and operating. Built in 1902! #7-Millennium Force @ Cedar Point- Ride Experience & World's First Giga Coaster. Is quickly earning "Legend" status. #8-Magnum XL 200 @ Cedar Point- World's First Hypercoaster. #9-The Voyage @ Holiday World- Ride Experience alone gets it here. #10-Expedition GeForce @ Holiday Park- Coastergrotto.com's users say it is the best in the world, so Ride Experience. Sigh. I could go on and on, but I will limit this list to only ten. Thanks and put up your own list if you so desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I think you mean Batman The Ride at any Six Flags that has one. Kentucky Kingdom, for instance, doesn't. And the one at Six Flags St Louis is a mirror image of the rest. It is by far my favorite ridewise, but sentimentally the first one wins out...at Great America in Chicago...

Browns4life Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yeah i should of said BM Invert clone. lol. I have only ridden the one at Great America. Those rides are intense!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 And there's a baby one at California's Great America...Paramount spent less money on it initially, but it was always wonderfully maintained and glass smooth during the Paramount days. I can't speak as to that now, as I have not been to that park since Cedar Fair acquired it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violakat03 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 The Beast at Kings Island Millennium Force at Cedar Point X2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain Space Mountain at Walt Disney World or Disneyland Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens Europe Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point It's hard for me to pick specific coasters. I'd say there's definitely certain types of coasters that everyone should ride, but those are the specific coasters that I think everyone should ride for the unique experience they give. I'd say every coaster fan should ride one of the following types of coasters: B&M hyper B&M invert B&M flyer Intamin hyper Intamin rocket/accelerator Intamin pre-fab wood Intamin LIM inverted Arrow suspended Gravity Group wood hybrid GCII wood Premier LIM spaghetti bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
