HTCO Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 i take it ring racer hasn't hit full speed yet? From my understanding, it isn't operating for the public as of yet... See: http://www.rcdb.com/rhr.htm See the asterisk? Question Mark? http://www.rcdb.com/4161.htm?p=24275 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Haven't ridden Ka but my vote goes to TTD. Launched coasters are more intense, less expected and just feel insanely fast. Scond for me would be Storm runner then Millie becuase it sustains so much speed later in the course and usually a train is going much slower that far into the ride. Maverick gets my vote for fastest feel at lower speeds. BTW, SOB didn't feel fast to me. Rode it once, got bored, never went back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigacoaster2k Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I still need to get to holiday world. I know that sounds bad for somone like me who calls themself an enthusiast but i just havent had the time but i have been to Cedar Point some im not a complete loser Not having the time to go to certain parks doesn't fire you from being an enthusiast. Money can be an issue too, as is school, transportation, and employment. I'm 27 and have only been on 56 coasters.. don't feel bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark6495 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Yeah SOB does not "feel" fast to me, out of control maybe but just not fast. A coaster that seems fast (out of the ones I have ridden) alpengeist, beast (at night) the helix just is crazy for me, and (you all will laugh) the final turn of top gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvo Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 ^Im not laughing. I remember the first time I rode (then) Top Gun.. I thought the cars were going to flip over the track. That's a pretty wicked final turn. And as for Voyage with your eyes closed.. I can attest to that. I rode it in a downpour, so keeping the eyes open was not an option haha. And WOW that thing is crazy when you don't know where you're going. I think TTD is still the fastest feeling I've ever felt though. After comparing Superman: The Escape at SFMM, it's amazing how much more powerful TTD feels. Superman was borderline boring, and I was really looking forward to that!

Gturner94 Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 well as of Superman you have to think its a gradual speed increase were Top Thrill is just an awesome burst of speed that you dont have to work into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
