If you could ride any coaster in the world, what would it be and why?

Mine would be X, i think it gives you a whole new perspective on rollercoaster design. I also think 230ft vertical freefall head first is sumthing that should not be missed

For me it would be TTD (when it opens). Twiriling towards the ground face first from 400ft in the air would be a unique experience. It's a very short ride though.

Expedition GeForce
I just like the onride pov and it's the best onride pov of a coaster that I've seen and makes me wants it to ride over any, TTD and X are ok, but meh. Xcelerator is better than TTD imo and X I've been on and it's ok.

I agree with WeeWeeslap on Expedition GeForce. It just looks amazing.

Maybe it would be EGF for me too, but I'll drive to it when i get my drivers licens [:)] For now I think it would be TTD just because of all those records it wrecked.

Most people think it is the best intamin out there, which also means it tops MF. Goliath did a nice attempt to beat EGF but it failed for most people, but it also beats MF for alot of people. Maybe TTD or Xcelerator is considered better than EGF, will have to wait a few more weeks to find out [:)]

Millennium Force really awesome if you manage to grab a seat in the front or the back, but the middle is kind of average. you just don't get the massive airtime there. But I don't think MF is over-rated. It's my top coaster next to The Raven. And as for another ride I am dying to go on... X! [:)]

*off topic* i got to skip an hour's worth of the line for the front car on MF because i was by myself.

*on topic* mine would be SMKC just because i have never ridden a floorless and SMKC looks like the best floorless to me.

I don't know why but I've always wanted to ride Mean Streak for some reason. The layout to me just looks cool. [?]

Too bad TTD doesn't have LIM's [:p] (Linear Induction Motor). TTD is launched hydraulical and not magnetical like on LIM and LSM. Ride's like Superman: The Ride and Rock and Rollercoaster are launched by LSM. Superman Ultimate Escape is launched by LIM, you can see the big magnets on the launching track.

I'd have to say Zonga. The classics have been ignored and I've never ridden it yet. This legend seems to be loved by everyone. Another would be Millennuim Force.

Right now I wanna ride Oblivion again lol. Did it for the first time a couple days ago and I love it. Apart from that I would have to agree with The Edge and say X, tho I have also fallen in love with TTD. I'm up for anything now, after riding Oblivion which I was so scared of... its gotten rid of all my fear. Ain't that ace! :D
