What is your favorite real life roller coaster?


I would still say mine is the Voyage. I haven't ridden it since the year it opened, but when I did, it was like nothing else I have been on before.

Blue Fire, my favourite. They do change every now and then though.

Bit of a struggle between EGF, Black Mamba, Monster for the 2nd 3rd and 4th place ;)

X2. Even though it rattles you a lot, its still a lot of fun!
Edit: Plus, its a 4th dimension coaster. ;)

The signature you have requested is not available at the moment. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Intimidator305. Amazing drop, very forceful turns, fast transitions, good amount of airtime, just amazing!

Will Voyage beat it this summer though?

Boulderdash. Even though it's the only roller coaster I've ever been on (I'm terrified of riding roller coasters, ironic huh?) But I've heard its one of the best terrain coasters in north america and my experience on it was amazing. Hopefully it has opened my eyes to other ones and I'll start riding more coasters.

Definately Kumba, I love all of the inversions, though it's a bit bumpy.

My favorite coaster always changes... But iSpeed, Stealth (Thorpe Park) and Blue Fire are really my favorites. There's nothing that can beat those launches and twisty and fast lay outs :D!

That we've ridden? Definitely Maverick. The speed on that is amazing, and those transitions/elements are wicked.

I'm with Top Thrill Dragster, I know people are always hating on it for being short and not very eventful, but the launch is just so exhilarating. Along with the amazing veiw from the top of the tower. Then I have Maverick, Diamondback, Intimidator (Carowinds), Afterburn and Millennium Force close behind.

I'm a big fan of Hydra when it comes to sheer finesse and style. Storm Runner would be excellent if it were twice as long. As for woodies, I must go with the Lightning Racer if we're talking GCI or Beast if we're talking terrain.

Blue Fire.

Out of what I've ridden, it HAS to be Nemesis. The Zero-G - Hammerhead - Loop - Hammerhead - Cork section really does it for me.

Either Sheikra or Kraken, both great, fun rides. I love the first drops on both.

Sea Dragon. It's a wooden coaster. I've only ridden 2 different coasters in my life, so far.

When I was little, either Drachen Fire or Steel Phanton.
Then for a long time it was Raptor and or OuterLimits (they were kinda tied, I remember riding OuterLimits when it first opened, and also Being an Inch to short to ride Raptor the first year it opened, and crying while mom took me to ride blue streak, and the pirate ride instead [and probably other things because the line was long].)
and after this summer I think I am going for Diamondback (rode it at least 8 times when I went to KI.)

Millennium Force. I've said it before, but the atmosphere plus the superb coaster itself is a yet to be beaten combination.

I'm not sure exactly why but I've always LOVED superman Krypton Coaster. That's definitely on my bucket list if I ever go to America again. Just the fact that the track runs SO close to the cliff face...
