What are your favorite hypers?

Must be-
More than 200 feet on at least one drop
Hyper type:as in- Intamin hyper
Morgan hyper
Arrow hyper
B&M hyper
Ect.


My Favorites are definately SROS and magnum. Superman recently started to get rough but the last time i went they replaced the wheels and, Voila! Smooth as glass. And magnum is awsome at night after 9:00. They take of the trims before the turnaround and the ejector air on the bunny hops. I love the way it pops you up over every hill. And it continues to get more vicious over every hill. Plus i love the first drop.

Out of all the hypers and gigas I have been on, I think my personal favorite is S:ROS at New England, with Behemoth at CW and Apollo's Chariot in second and third place.

SROS NE (which I'll be riding tomorrow), Apollo, and Phantom's Revenge. I think the only others I've been on are Magnum which is alright and Raging Bull which can go to hell. I've been on kiddie coasters more fun than that ride.

Steel: Silver Star and Xcelerator

And even though it readjusted my spine, I have to say that because It's the only wooden hyper, Son of Beast has to be my favorite.

Magnum for sure... Mainly the second half of the ride because of all the ejector air.

Hyyyper, based on his specifications, El Toro doesn't qualify. Not that it matters though. There isn't much if anything bad that can be said about that ride.

I have to say Xcelerator at KBF is my favorite and then Nitro comes in second place for me. Xcelerator is a lot of fun after the top hat and Nitro offers tons of air.

^Come to the US. Its worth it! Get to Cedar point and the new england parks if you do. Or go to Virginia because KD is awesome, and so is Busch gardens. Plus there so close to each other.

I know, but anything with a lift, speed and (an attempt to) airtime is a hyper to me.

My favorite is the Phantom's Revenge, which is apparently going get the section of track from the apex of the lift hill all the way to the top of the second drop replaced for next season! Yay, smoothness!

I like Ride of Steel at Darien Lake. I don't know why but that ride was just a blur of amazement!.

Nitro was pretty damn awesome, but why don't the itamin pre-fabs count as hypers? Because if they do, El Toro and Colossos weere both better than Nitro.

the highest coaster i've been on was the goliath @ walibi world :(
that's not a hyper... not even if you measure it from sea level. because it's even lower.

but if i choose from all coasters (including the one where i haven't been on)
it would be steel dragon 2000.

either goliath at SFMM or SROS at SFNE. SROS is sex on a stick x4. Yes, it is that fun.
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.

Steel Force is the only hyper I have been on. That should change November first though.

I also dont class Intaman rockets as hypers.

PS: IMO, what defines a hyper is the lift height. Not the drop.

Even though it doesn't qualify as what you call a hyper, Goliath at La Ronde is absolutely incredible. As simple as the layout is, the ride is easily the smoothest coaster I've ever been on, and the airtime it delivers is absolutely incredible. I think it is better than El Toro's Airtime. Not stronger, but better.

And SROS of course is good...

Nitro and Apollo are fun as well.

Silverstar, and that's the only one I have been on. Not so much hypers around here..

Trimless rides on Magnum hurt so good...especially in the ejector seat. Back row is great too. Such a classic.

I would have to go with Goliath as my top favorite Hyper coaster, followed by Raging Bull.

I know some people absolutely cannot stand Millineum Force, but I love it. It's a great ride, fast, and fun for everyone.
