Favorite drop is Sheikra. There is a view going up the lift where you can see the drop and horizon make a perfect right angle, and with the flat, low Florida landscape again blood red track its amazing. Also there is a specific and special kind of airtime that only drop coasters have and I love it.

The best drop of my entire life was on TTD. When it just barely makes it over the top and you get the full view and feel of that drop last row there's nothing close for me. Had it twice, middle and last.

No doubt: Expedition GeForce at HolidayPark sitting in the last row.

Having strong negatives and laterals at the same time is simply beautiful.

My favorite drop has to be X2. I cannot describe the feeling but it is incredible! This took the place for my top coaster as well (Too bad you need a neck brace after riding :lol: )

Stuck between two very different ways of thinking about this...

On one hand: El Toro in the back row, because it was, frankly, insane.

On the other hand: Nemesis, because I've not ridden another ride that has such a suspense building drop - despite the fact that there isn't any real drop to speak of.


Out of rides I haven't ridden: Any of the Intamin prefabs would be awesome (I'm assuming), and I'd be very interested to see what the drop on Gravity Max actually feels like.

^^ I think Kraken is one of the most misspelled names among coaster fans so you don't need to worry. :D
-- I was happy to be with NL1. --

Personal coaster count as of 3/2025 -- 222
"500" perhaps by the end of this year.
I will be a Thai citizen if possible in a few years.

Shambhala. Gives you an amazing view of the park and the surrounding area, it's also facing the opposite direction to the nearby industrial complex as an added bonus. Aside from that, it just seems to go on forever with floater all the way down the drop.

Shambhala just always seemed too short to me. I would love to know if the ride is even good after the first airtime hill as I heard it dies off from there.

No, it's an amazing ride, especially the speed hill after the ampersand. It's also one of the most graceful rides I've ever seen. It seems short just because the mcbr is so close to the end brakes, but the ride itself lasts as long as pretty much any other B&M hyper.

First drop is awesome specially if you sit at the back is like being ejected and floating all the drop, the first camelback is awesome too like 5 o more seconds of airtime there, then the ampersand and the speed hill and the rest ok.

You're parks and flat rides are definitely better but I've always felt America has the better coasters.
