What is a coaster you think is just a glory to see regardless on how it really rides? I love it when your sitting in a que line and you get to just watch a coaster. What is a coaster you think the landscaping it was constructed in was fabulous or the the structure of the ride was a wonder to look at?

For ex.
Voyage - I'ts support stucture is clean and the way it's compleately surrounded by woods make It a great coaster.


Boardwalk Bullet - It's such a compact ride but has a rather long track. I think the tangle of track through the supports are awesome.

Black Mamba / Nemesis - Amazing theming.

Most of the rides at Indiana beach are fun to watch in the Q, and you can see the whole layout of all of them. With Cornball the station is inside the "loop" the ride makes, so you can see other riders feasting on incredible airtime (although the room makes it hard to see from some places). Also, admittedly Raging Bull looks awesome from the Q that goes right under it along with its new paint job. The train flies by you numerous times. Too bad they trimmed it.....

Millennium Force. I have and still adore the lift structure in all its might.

Maverick is insane to watch; it flies through the course at such a fast speed.

Raging Bull is a really sweet ride to watch from the surrounding path/queue.

As far as watching a coaster goes...

Voyage on a walkback, watching it traverse the turnaround section.
Dueling Dragons when its timed perfectly - poetry in motion my friends.

nemesis is awesome to watch in the queue, like when it suddenly roars up from behind you when you're talking to someone and it scares the crap outta ya

rita's also quite funny to watch the blonde who's never been on it before's face drop instantly as she realises the accelaration, something you have to see to appreciate the true hilariousness of it [lol]

I'm not taking theming or the experience in the Q in consideration here, but Thunder Dolphin is IMO a great achievement, construction wise. Every time I see pics from it, I'm still amazed that a part of it is build on the roof of a building and makes a turn passing through the ferris wheel. Oh, and building it in such a compact space...bravo.

-so was Griffon @ BGE

almost any BM invert. Inverted 0g rolls = jizzed pantalones.
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

Renegade at night is sexy as hell. The first half is completely darkness, the second half is golden light.

Hmmm, Excalibur is a really sexy ride all around as well.

Mantis and Maverick both look incredibly sexy while in line. You can only see bits and pieces of Maverick, but what you can see is pretty cool. Mantis, the entire queue is basically in the middle of the track.

Definately Mean Streak. To stand in line (when it used to have a line) with that giant track around you is to be immersed in art, no doubt about it.

I forgot to add Manta, even though I haven't seen the ride in person, through pictures and interviews the lines look awesome with the tanks and the interaction with the whole ride looks sweet.

I must agree with Mantis. The B&M roar combined with the view of the carousel turn and all of the inversions is quite nice.

Mantis is one of the most sexiest roller coasters I've seen

Superman Krypton Coaster is the definition of sexy when your watching the drop & helix from the cliff. Image Its SO much better in person. Just watching the coaster from any angle facing the cliff is mesmerizing. Tony Hawk & Poltergeist can easily mess up the scene if your watching from the wrong angle.
