If you're a true enthusiast, you don't have to be on a big coaster to have fun. Has anyone been on any kiddie coasters that stood out as really fun? For me:

Steel: Tiger Terror @ Safari Land (obviously. lol)

Like I've said, has some nice laterals and even a pop of airtime.

Wood: Zach's Zoomer @ Michigan's Adventure

Like the PTC Little Dipper coasters, but this was actually built by CCI :D

Steel: Woodstock's express @ CGA, the bunny hills right before the station have a nice pop of air and the helix is pretty strong for a kids coaster.

Wood: Woodstock Express @ KI. Just because, that's why.

I like the small wooden ones, but in terms of true kiddie coaster, I think the High Speed Thrill Coaster at Knoebel's before they took it out was awesome. The could crank the lift hill speed WAY up and you got some serious air on the bunny hills.

Yeah... you're probably right.

The airtime on the drop in the back is not bad on those youngSTAR coasters.

Gotta get on it sometime, maybe if I go to Kennywood/Waldameer next summer I can get in on the way.

One of my favorite kiddie coasters (or family coasters) as a kid were the Roller Skater ones. I still love them, but it's been many years since I rode on one.

I rode the newer one at Knoebel's (Kozmo's Kurves) and that one is pretty fun. It has good airtime and the lapbars stay higher so you have room.
