Your KI Coaster Rankings

[DontWantToWait42mar0]

Not sure if this has been done on here before, but I think it will be fun for everyone to share their oppinion.

Here goes mine:

1) Diamondback

2) The Beast

3) Flight Deck

4) Vortex

5) Adventure Express

6) Invertigo Surf Dog

7) Flight of Fear

8) Racer

9) Woodstock Express

10) Flying Ace Ariel Chase

11) Firehawk

12) The Great Pumpkin Coaster

Notes:

DB and The Beast are in a league of their own, hence the space between them and the others.

Invertigo would be ranked higher if it was actually unique or had a higher capacity.

I'm not sure if Surf Dog is a coaster.

13) Back Lot Stun Coaster

[dare-to-fly]

Hmm...Beast, Racer, Vortex, Flight of Fear, Diamondback, Drop Tower, Adventure Express, Flight Deck, Invertigo, WindSeeker. I think that should cover my top ten rides at KI.

[The Interpreter]

I could no more rate coasters (with a very few exceptions) than a mother could rate her children (again with a very few exceptions).

[jdawg1998]

I just don't get The Beast...in my opinion it feels slow, there's no G's whatsoever, and the only good part is the helix. I don't get it...maybe I'm just weird...

[DontWantToWait42mar0]

You do go pretty far in the woods which is pretty cool. Also, there is two lift hills...

In reply to The Beast conversation: I used to ride Beast expecting thrills, but I now approach it with the attitude of watching a 70's action movie. Jdawg is right--there are no real G's, save for the laterals just after the first drop and a few turns leading to the second lift. But that's entirely the thing with Beast. It's a strong start, then a bunch of straightaways and wide turns. The turns gradually increase in intensity, speed, and forces--and then they drop off the map entirely when you hit the second lift. It's about lulling you into a sense of security, then shattering it with the most intense portion of the ride. It's not the typical B&M progression of most to least intense elements during the ride, and that's a good thing--in my opinion, anyway.

Beast is one of the few rides in the world that manages to theme itself without relying on props or a gimmick, and I think that's why it's as famous as it is.

[MDMC01]

Here are my rankings:
1. Invertigo

8. Vortex

12. Flying Ace

-Great Pumpkin isn't included because it's a kiddie coaster that I haven't ridden in years. Also, I do not consider Surf Dog a roller coaster.

That's interesting. Would it be safe to assume that you don't particularly care for Invertigo? Or am I reading between the lines too much?

[thekidd33]

It isn't my favorite.

I'm more of an airtime/inversions guy.

Beast goes up to a 2 with night rides but during the day its highly overrated.

[TheCrypt]

Adventure Express trumps all other coasters.

Well said my friend, well said.

[dare-to-fly]

Very well said indeed. If you don't "get" The Beast, then you don't understand what The Beast actually is or what it's about. Then again...perhaps I just have a soft spot for it in my heart.
