I thought this would be a pretty good idea for a topic. The question is, which coaster looks the best. It can be based of the supports/stucture, enviroment, or just the track.
For me, both at CP:

Mean Streak - Walking toward it at night when it is lit up is just a magicall sight. The supports are just so massive, they make you feel infeior.

Millennium Force - The lighting at night.

Eh...MS looks good but Shivering Timbers looks far cooler. Its like just nothing but wood as far as you can see.

But man...for overall best looking thats tough. Theres too many variables. Day and night especially. Plus the settings play a larger factor too. Each coaster can look fantastic with the right angle, lighting and time of day.

I prefer the look of Ghostrider. Nothing screams fun as much as that.

I think Goliath at Walibi World looks pretty nice, same with Boosterbike at Toverland.

Gotta love how night photos, slightly over-exposed bring out so much detail and dynamics that the eye never sees.

MF at night before it got struck by lightning. Raptor was pretty cool after they fixed alot of the lights too.

I can only mention coasters I've been on...and the best looking one to me is The Increbile Hulk at IOA. I don't know, but at night time on the City Walk it looks really cool, and I just love watching it roar out of the tunnel into the zero-g roll and go through the first half. It always seemed really cool to me.[^]

Vortex at PCW is amazing to look at from the pretzal stall under the drop... IJST is also really cool to look at, at night the fire lights up everything and the tunnels are really creepy.


I'm kinda both joking and not joking... Vortex is pretty awsome to look at, but MF beats everything, looking at it from Snake River Falls is really neat.

This togo was really attractive.

I often times find myself missing it. If only it rode smoother. It's like that girl that looks way attractive, but then you get to meet her and find out she's a real bitch.[lol]

^Sadly, as is the case with most "hot" girls.

Which is why I stick with girls that are beautiful, not hot. Theres a definate distinction between the two.

^ Girls that are considered very pretty, but NOT the most popular. [:)] Some popular girls are actually horrible. It puts you off there andthen.

Anyway im gonna mention a load, and see if anyone agrees with me, firstly im gonna start with coasters ive been on, and then will mention some i havent been on:
Image

How about nemesis? Look t it, doesnt it just look amazing? Its j7ust its landscaping, setting and themeing that makes it so special.

Image

Oblivion with the steam on full blast. This picture is no way near full blast. I have only ever ridden it once with so much steam, but it just made it even cooler. Especially with the noise it makes, like a huge sudden Roar as it plunges into the tunnel, and the steam slowly is sucked around the hole, and then all fades down into the darkness because of the wind behind the car!

Image

Then i would have to say river quest as the most stunning ride to look at i havent been on. I decided this when i was looking at parks to visit after i finish my GCSEs, and i showed my dad this picture (who hates parks) and he even said he would go there that it looked so amazing.

Image

Euro mir at Europa park just looks amazing with the towers the ride is situated around, mirroring the ride making it look absolutely huge like a tangle of track from wherever you look at it

Thres also:
Space mountain - Paris
Daemonen - Tivoli
Goliath - Walibi World
ummmm theres loads. I havent even begun to mention the US ones i love the look of, but i will mention a few quickly, TTD, Expedition Everest, Texas Giant, Rattler, MF............ the list goes on

I like Cedar Point's Mean Streak. Unfortunately, the ride is a bit disappointing. I also like pictures of Ghost Rider and The Boss, but I haven't ridden those coasters.

You got that right. [:p][:D][:p][:D]

Although the closest to Bon Bon Land I ever got was TPR's video of it.

Lightning Racer at Hershey Park. Lift hill of the Magnum coming in off the causeway towards the park is a pretty cool sight!!! The graceful lines of the Rebel Yell from the top of the Eifel Tower.

Coasterkid, this coaster may look good at the moment but if the tides up or a wave hits ya when your riding it it wouldnt be so beautiful then would it.

For me Magnus Colossus is absolutely wonderful from an arial view, but a night its spectacular. The whole mountainside is shot with light and the figures of the supports are silhouetted against the cliffs. I was quite astounded by it [:O][:O][:O][:O][:O]

Trust me people ou gotta go!
