Well, woodies are hundreds of times better than steelies, and all CCIs rule, but I only rode one CCI, which is Silver Comet, and its awesome! Right after the first drop there is a small little bunny hill which is a double drop, and on both of the hills, there is some awesome air. Even though its not ejector air, its sustained and you just stay out of your seat for a while and you feel like your going faster than MF, its great. Then you fly up into a nice, fast, common CCI turnaround, and fly back down into the structure surrounded by track on each side of you which feels really awesome. Then, as you go up into another turnaround, you start banking a little, and then turn pretty fast at a pretty cool turn, but still doesn't have that high lats yet. The next turnaround is awesome because if your not expecting the lats, you'd probably be in serious pain the lats are so much, you just get slammed into the side of your seat so hard and its great. Then you fly down into the structure again, pull up into another turn, and you get slammed into the side of your seat just as hard as the previous turn, but in the oppisite direction. Then you fly down again and pull up about 25 ft. and fly into an unexpected low to the ground turning drop, and you bank about 50 degrees and then as you start to turn with the steel structure completly surrounding you, you slam into the side of your seat, and your just stuck there, the lats just keep on building on you throughout the whole turn, which feels like its gonna last forever, and the part of your body thats above the side of the train feels like its gonna rip off and the other side of your body thats in the train will just stay stuck onto the side of the train, but its very intense and SO awesome. As you exit the turn, your ground level and you hop up a bunnyhill thats about 6 ft. high providing some nice air, and then fly into the final turn into the brakes. It's an adrenaline rush from beginning to end and its just SOO awesome. I love it [:D] HUNDREDS of times better than any CP coaster, including MF.

Oh, not all CCI's are great!

Just from the ones I've ridden:


  • Hurricane (Roughness, lousy trains, not much air)

  • Hoosier Hurricane (Very rough, NO air)



CCI's I've done:


  • Great White
  • Excalibur
  • Hurricane
  • Shivering Timbers
  • Zach's Zoomer
  • Hoosier Hurricane
  • Cornball Express


My Top Ten

  • 1. Phoenix

  • 2. Georgia Cyclone, SFoG

  • 3. Cornball Express

  • 4. Kumba

  • 5. Shivering Timbers

  • 6. Dueling Dragons

  • 7. Great White (Morey's)

  • 8. Mindbender (SFoG)

  • 9. Flight of Fear

  • 10. Montu



My Bottom 10:


  • 148. Runaway Mine Train (SFGRADv)

  • 152. Hoosier Hurricane

  • 153. Hercules

  • 154. Alpengiest

  • 155. Hurricane

  • 156. Medusa

  • 157. The Beast



That pretty much covers the rides I feel strongly about one way or the other. The other 130 or so can shuffle around a lot depending on my mood...

Raging Bull, Alpengeist and Medusa [confused] They all seem to be wicked rides. I'd love to ride one of those three [:p]

Anyway, my number one has to be Goliath at Six Flags Holland, it's an awesome ride, great air, stengel dive good G's in the horizontal loop really superb. [pshades]

i actually liked medusa and alpeingeist. Even tho alpiengiest does not even come close to the greatness of Raptor which is my fav. innverted ride of all time. But i also think that medusa is a geat ride from begenning to end its so smooth and the wait isnt long at all if u get there early u can ride it at least five times in a half-hour.

I don't like steelies a lot, just because of how tame they are, unfortuntly my top ten consists of not very good coasters because I only rode 2 good woodies [:(]

No, it's not a family coaster. Famiy coasters don't give headaches.

have you tried the front seat? I rode it in both the back seat and the front and I think the very front is the best.

Raging Bull? You have got to be kidding, i live about 2 min away from there, im looking at RB as I type this, that ride is very good, my fav of all the rides. You need to sit in the back row and barely have the restraint on, thats the best way to ride it!

I think its extremely boring, I mean, NO airtime at all, and there are no good lats. I've heard that before stupid Cedar Fair trimmed it that it was an insane ride, but leave it up to Cedar Fair to ruin their woodies, just look at how much Hercules is trimmed, and The awesome Thunderhawk at Dorney Park which was unfortunetly trimmed because of the GP not being able to handle intense rides...

It's a B&M hyper, meaning no intensity, how could that make a good ride?

well, I already probably know how its like, because I went on Nitro, and it isn't intense at all, and I heard that Appolo's Chariot is verryyyy tame also. And since RB is about the same as both of those, I know it's not that intense either. I just like more intense rides

I know not everyone likes the same stuff as I do, I wasn't saying that I thought that its bad that you like the back more, which you probably thought I was saying. I was just wondering if you rode WT in the front
