The best first drops on a coaster!

^I envy anyone who has ridden that beast...

And Maverick still takes the cake for me.

Great Bear's got a pretty ballin drop too...The way it comes out of that pre-drop helix in the back seat feels awesome.

Dashs drop is mostly lats. You just lift up because you're being pushed to the side so hard. And yeah.....Cyclones is crazy.

Trust me, it has negative gs in the back. I rode it in the back 25 out of the 30 times during ert.

I'd ridden it hundreds of times (including three back seat rides just three weeks ago) and know that ride probably better than any other ride....It definitely doesn't go down to 0g in the back seat. Being less than 1g combined with the laterals may make it feel like you're starting to lift, but it isn't actually airtime. Believe me if it did have air I'd be the first one to stick up for it....but I can't say there's air there with a straight face.

Yeah dude, it has NO air in the back. Freddie is right.

Not the best first drop but definitely the most insane lift and drop: Tornado at Bakken.

It's the new intamin spinner. The lift speeds up and at the top it actually launches you off, which creates a brutal ejector air and eventual lateral g's when going down that insane drop!

That's really interesting. It Doesn't look like much but from what you said I guess I'll have to reconsider

Wow... I really need to ride it again. You would think 30* is enough!

Evil Knievel- In the back you get yanked out your seat into a 90 degree curve.

The Ninja- You get pulled our your seat for 80 feet until being sucked back into your seat heading into the first loop.

Batman- This ride really sucks, but the first drops pretty cool, smooth ride all the way down.

River King Mine Train- A near verticle drop in a dark tunnel, need i say more?

1)SAW-The Ride at Thorpe Park because it is a 100 degree drop and there are some definate -G's
2)Oblivion at Alton Towers because it was the first virtical drop in the world and is outstanding
3)Corkscrew at Alton Towers as it was a real surprise how i got some weightlessness from a tiny drop!

I think the magnum xl-200 also has a great first drop

I can at least say that the worst drop on any coaster is that of Millenium Force. No negative g's at all, just airtime. Airtime isn't bad, but the drop is supposed to have negative g's. The best first drop is without a doubt Corkscrew at Cedar Point, in the back. The way it pulls you down is just awesome. The best drop in the world.

Not in any particular order:

1. Cyclone at SFNE. I love how you start slow, then suddenly are pulled with ejector air, whipped around the curve, then pulled harder and harder to the bottom.

2. SROS/Bizzaro at SFNE. Speeds up immediately, gets really steep, starts to suddenly fly down, then the next thing you know you're in the tunnel.

3. Raptor at Cedar Point. The turning drop causes some nice air throughout the entire drop. It also offers a little bit of a view when not riding in the front.

4. El Toro at SFGA. Not much explaining needed. Pure bliss.

5. Magnum at Cedar Point. Nice tall drop. Gives you a few seconds to look out and enjoy the view before the ultimate plunge.
