Best Looking Trains

Which coaster trains have the best decoration in your opinion? One of the reasons I'm doing this is to get some ideas for a possible cartexture for my new mini hyper. I quite like the decoration on the trains on Python at Efteling.

The cars are pretty interesting too. Maybe someone who has ridden Python with those trains could tell me if they are comfortable or not. The seats look like they might be uncomfortable.

Dragster HAD the best trains...till the themeing was removed.

Those things look odd. Paint is sweet, they look comfy and painful at the same time.

I do agree about dragster. Having a realistic looking engine and large tires in the back looked great.

I love the style of SR's trains, they are hot.

TTD got rid of the theming on the back why?[confused]

TTD defintetely. But now that CP ruined that (not on purpose of course). I think Intamin's trains, particularly the MF hypers in general look just pure awesome and are so comfortable.

One of the tires, under the pretty intense G-Forces, fell off. Luckily it fell off the right side which means it fell into the river within the penninsula. After that, they took all of it off and added 2 more seats.

Not that it needed the seats. Its a capacity monster with the fastest lines in the park.

I know alot of peeps that rode it and they said the seats were fine but the restraints hurted on the head. And that really counts for some peeps that are a little bit smaller then normal. Too bad i haven't ridden it yet but i'll report it when i have the change [:)]

Ok Dirk. When you go ride Python next I want to know all about those trains.

I like Top thrill dragsters tires, but had no idea they fell of into a lake, Dang, it must of made a boom, i would not want to be on that train as it happened!

If you were on the train when it happened I'm sure you would hear a large crack and probably a spash. Or maybe nothing becuase of wind noise.

i can tell u, the restraints are pretty comfortable, untill the corcks, i was having a bit of headbanging (which i like, btw).
You're having great freedom in that car, other than the previous, the standard vekoma's.
Also, you can now lift your arm up higher and you get the feeling falling out on the lead-in to the corcks.

conclusion, these trains are way better and dirk's peeps should be happy with the way it is, cos it's great

btw, i'm 1.80m, if u wanted to know

I am a 'little bit smaller than normal'(1.64m), but the restraints were pretty comfortable imo [8D]

sounds like that the Themepark.nl people complain too much about it then. about 90% of the peeps who ride it, didn't liked it because of the headbanging...

o there is headbanging, for sure, most ppl don't like it, but i love it!

^ I hate it after my experiences on Corkscrew at alton towers.

Anyway, the best trains IMO are Oblivions at Alton, so spacious, they look great, and are really comfy. I think them trains do look awesome.



I also love the front of the Rita and Xcelerator trains.

I also love the space mountain trains at Disneyland Paris.

also the good ol' intamin hyper train are cool, the restraints are minimum and you can lean left and right that far that the actionphoto only photographs your t-shirt which was hilarious

So hyyyper, how do you think the trains on Python would be on a standard Vekoma Boomerang or an Arrow looper? Personally, I think those trains would look great on Viper at SFMM.

These are by far one of my favorite trains if not my favorite!

How about the new Space mountain trains in Paris!

The Space Mountain trains are ok. They certainly look like something from the 19th century. (Discovery Land at Euro Disney is Jules Verne themed.)

They give a smooth ride too, even though thats nothing to do with the themeing!

Yah those trains aren't too bad.

Oh yeah everyones forgotten Big Thunder Mountain!



Also the roughest Intamin Trains Yet



Indiana Jones et le temple du peril!

BTM trains are pretty nicely themed but the locomotive in the front cuts off the view. The cars are also not that roomy. I have pretty big feet for my height and I have to turn my feet out a little to fit nicely.
