xXDrummerKiDXx Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'm still deciding between The Bat and Backlot Stunt Coaster as my least favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Zhark Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 If you sit in the back seat on The Bat its a fun ride. Which is like a lot of other coasters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieninja Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Every coaster in the park I've found enjoyable at one time or another. Vortex is a harsh ride, but worth it every time. There are only two rides so far anywhere that I absolutely refuse to ride ever again... The Hurler at Kings Dominion, and The Roller Coaster at New York-New York in Las Vegas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengals fan Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 BLSC is fun but long wait short ride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Backlot Stunt Coaster actually is a very fun ride- if it had better capacity, I'd ride that thing a lot more. It has good forcefulness, and even some pops of airtime, and the helicopter attack and dark tunnel afterwards are awesome. I'd give it a solid 8/10.It is, however, my 3rd least favorite of all the big coasters- beating only Invertigo and BARELY Firehawk (which is also very fun but has the same capacity problem). So yeah, I really adore a LOT of the park's roller coasters if this is 3rd worst...oh, Firehawk is also an 8/10 from me and Invertigo I'd give a 7...yeah, I do really like KI's coasters...and most of the flats too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoraX Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Invertigo is my least favorite. I get a headache that typically turns into a migraine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 And here I stand yet again as the only member of the Diamondback haters club. Having been to Kings Island, Cedar Point, Carowinds, Kennywood, Canada's Wonderland, Holiday World, Darien Lake, and many smaller parks, and not ever having had an opportunity to ride Son of Beast, Diamondback is definitely my LEAST favorite coaster so far that is over 200 feet tall. Though Millennium Force is not very far behind it. And no, I am legitimately not being a troll. Folks around here know me better than that. I realize that not many people will agree with my opinions, but hey, I probably don't agree with most of your opinions on Vortex, so it's all good. I am happy to see that at least as of right now, everybody who has voted in the poll appreciates our wonderful little Arrow Mine Train. If it isn't best-in-class, there aren't many above it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 ^Banshee and Racer also seem to be rides no one hates. So the brand-new B&M Invert, Classic Woodie, and Arrow Mine Train are all rides that seemingly everyone at least likes more than 1 other coaster in the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedar Point Gal Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I hate Firehawk. It scared the living daylights out of me. It's the first and only ride to make me feel dizzy and ill after riding it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcc Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I love every coaster there, but least favorite is Vortex. I'm short, so I end up headbanging like I'm at a metal concert. \m/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleShawn Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Im tall and Vortex doesnt bother me, my wife who is short bangs her head alot. Oh the hair pin turn after the double loop always hurts me too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 The farther back you are in the train, the less intense that hairpin turn is. In the last car, it's really not bad at all because by the time you hit the turn, the front of the train has reached the brakes and begun to slow down. Granted, I am also one of the few people here who will say that the most enjoyable seat on Vortex is not 5-1, but 7-1. Though I certainly do enjoy both a great deal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Back VII Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I love 5-1, but my favorite row is 1-1. It really is smoother and the first drop is amazing. I really don't understand the people that think Anaconda at KD is rough. It is much smoother than Vortex, and the front row is even smoother than Dominator (I get lots of headbanging on it).

Nick_Plummer Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Does anyone know how smooth the Demon at California's Great America is? It looks pretty smooth on the POV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Yes. Someone knows. Now that's over, both Demons at their respective parks ride similarly. They are smooth, fun rides. Those who expect a total absence of jerkiness a la B&M, will, however, be disappointed. As for Anaconda, even 20 years ago, I didn't think it smooth. It's no Great American Scream Machine formerly at NJFTP nor Shockwave at Six Flags Great America, but it ain't exactly comfy. Oh, to be less than 18 and get to ride Arrow multi-loopers. I can only imagine. I was older than that when I first inverted on a rolley coaster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I was older than that when I first inverted on a rolley coaster! Would that have been around the Turn of the Century?

NoChickens Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 At least this is worded right, not a "wich coaster to remove" thread. My vote is Invertigo, a slow moving line, for what is usually about a one hour headache. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was older than that when I first inverted on a rolley coaster! Trust me us below 18 year olds get the same sick, painful feeling getting off Arrow-Loopers. If anything the headbanging is even worse on us! I've ridden Anaconda, Corkscrew, Loch Ness Monster, and Vortex and I got sick after riding all of them. Corkscrew is probably the least painful IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably true for at least some, but not all. I'm 15, and I don't get a sick or painful feeling on any Arrow loopers (granted, I have a stomach of steel)! Since I have a habit of relaxing during the ride (which is quite helpful), the little headbanging I face is hardly a problem. The Arrow loopers I've been on are Vortex, Corkscrew, Viper (at Darien Lake), Anaconda, Loch Ness Monster and Tennessee Tornado and all of them are fun! But that's just me. Everyone's different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper is amazing. I was shocked at how smooth it was. It was very strange to me, riding an Arrow looper with a helix that has to be one of the smoothest I've ever ridden through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I mostly like the coasters at Kings Island, but if I had to give an answer, it'd be Invertigo. I've received thorough head bangings on that in certain seats, and the g's are at times too much for me; not the amount of g's, but how it sustains them. I get full on black outs on it anymore. However, I still generally like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSkippy Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Of the rides I've ridden, the answer is Firehawk by far. That being said, I've never ridden Invertigo because prior experience leads me to believe it likely has no redeeming qualities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 When I was young, I got motion sick very easily. The Beastie was sufficient to make me feel queasy. Had I ridden Vortex as a kid, the result would not have been pleasant. Luckily, I outgrew that by sometime around high school. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dtk1376 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'm 32 and can say that Vortex doesn't bother me at all. The ride that beats me up is Adventure Express, but it's been that way since I was a kid, I know I should put my hands down on that ride but I just can't resist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
