What do you think the smoothest coaster/type of coaster/or company that makes the smoothest coasters is?

B and M. The smoothest coaster i've been on is wildfire at sdc. Every ride i've been on i have been jerked, hit my head, or violenty abused (boss). Thats happened to me on every coaster i've been on except wildfire.
Trim breaks are your enemy, retracking/smoothing is your friend. I miss b&m floored sit downs. coaster count=39

Judging from videos I'd have to say Giovanola, since POV's of their coasters Goliath, Titan and Anaconda look so incredibly smooth [:)]

Sadly i have never experienced the beautiful feeling of an intamin hyper.
Or any intamin except for volcano[V]

Also why did giovanola run out of buisiness?

Maverick seemed good the first time I rode it, but I will have to go with B&M

B&M, but the smoothest coaster I've been on is actually El Toro.

Hmm, Millennium Force and Goliath (SFMM) are probably the two smoothest coasters I have ridden.

Titan at SFoT is pretty damn smooth and so is Hydra.

Kanonen was shiz, Black Mamba wasn't. So B&M it is [:)].

B&M
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.

I'll go with B&M, they are very smooth for the most part. Medusa at GAdv, Hydra and Talon both at Dorney are some of the smoothest coasters I've been on. But Batman: The Ride has gotten a bit rough; but that's good, it makes it more out of control feeling.

However, like coasterguy77, I also think El Toro was the smoothest I've been on. They did pretty well making that steel look like wood [;)]

I would really say manufacturer wise it would be Intamin for me. That is seriously because I have not ridden to many B&M's.

^ what he said...

for me it would have to be just about any B&M I've been on, esp Griffon and Apollo's Chariot. However, I have referred to Titan at SFoT as "metal sex".

Actually Ricochet at PKD is RREEAAllYY smooth! Next time someone rides it notice how the first drop is like even smoother than Griffon's(AKA smooth as ICE).
