Just wondering, whats everyones all time favourite coaster (that youve riden)
Mine's probably has to be errr let me think 'Oblivion' @ alton towers, due to the pure airtime it produces. Almost everytime i ride im scared, and ive ridden that thing about 50 times

My favorite is a tie between goliath, riddlers revenge and Xcelerator. Goliath due to the tunnel, air and g's, RR because of the sheer beauty of layout and the nice g's that cripple u sometimes, Xcelerator due to the great layout and speed.

Mine would have to be The Boss @ SFStL, Rock 'N Roller Coaster @ MGM/Disney Studios, and Mamba @ WOF.

(EDIT) I put the wrong coaster...how silly of me [;)]

If Wal-Mart is lowering prices everyday, why isn't anything free yet?

i have to say Superman: Ultimate flight at SFOG, Millennium Force we all know where its at, and the Mind Bender at SFOG.

S:UF because B&M flying coasters as extremely comfortable and fun, plus you get 5.75 g's in the worlds first and only pretzel loop!

MF, big air on the hill, nice and smoothe, and it was so fast the moisture from my eyes was dripping out to the side of my face.

MB because the nice g's in the loops and the tilted helix, and the tunnel. plus i love all shwartzkopfs (sp?) anyway.

I'll vote for "The Raven" at Holiday World, and "The Beast" at King's Island. Nothing beats storming through a maze of trees at over 50 mph. GO WOODIES! Well, okay, I'm a Millennium Force fan too...

I would say:
Batman:TR - There is a reason it has been cloned so many times.

Deja Vu - There's just something about the Giant Inverted boomerang that I love.

Coming soon when I ride it - Superman Ultimate Flight - Having a total of three of them by this season and each one being a little different. This ride is so awesome. And the fact that the pretzle loop at SFGam looks like it goes through a tunnel. That's going to be insane!

speaking of SFH, GFA, any news of anything special going on with that park? or how about a new contest? or maybe, something that has to do with both? i've heard some rummers recently...

Well, until I finally get to ride X, I have to say Mr. Freeze! It may only be half as tall as TTD now, but it's twice as much fun, and the ride lasts twice as long. Falling backwards down the vertical spike is the best part!

ya but that's all TTD is. Launch, top hat, 270 degree turning drop(the only part I'm really anticipating), and brake. It would be so much better if the made it like accelerator where there were some more turns after the drop.

Exactly! Of course TTD is gonna be cool, but how exciting is a 15 second ride with only one element gonna be after all the newness wears off of it? At least on Mr. Freeze you get to go backwards too! CP shoulda thought of that. Now 120MPH in reverse would be the most intense thrill ride ever!

The airtime and adrealine rush could be just great. Going through some turns would be fun as well, but I'd rather take another coaster from Intamin than a TTD with longer layout. Hitting the brakes after very intense elements is a great thing too. The 270 turn will be a great expirience, as would the airtime on top hat and acceleration to over 200 km/h!

I'd like WBMBM's Superman the best. it's nicely trimmed and has much "floating" airtime.

or maybe Cedar Point should just build a freefall ride with even more airtme than Superman: The Escape! That would rule!

It shouldnt be too hard for me to find my favorite coaster as I only have ridden a pinfari looper, a vekoma single loop/single corkscrew coaster and an awesome vekoma woodie called Thundercoaster [:D]

The last one is definately my favorite
