I know Hydra and Hades look to have pretty cool ones. But out of the coasters I've been on, I'd say that the best is Cedar Creek Mine Ride's.

Strangely as it is, I am a fan of a real good station dropout. What roller coaster has the best dropout? The worst (not meaning ones with just turns or straights, but ones that tried to be cool but fail)?

Out of the coasters I've been on only Nemesis Inferno and Hades stood out. Nemesis Inferno was a nice gimmick, but really doesn't do much. The prelift section of Hades was very good, and would probably have to be my favorite!

Hehe, the best dropout I've been on is probably Deja Vu's. I mean, right out of the station, it flies into a cobra roll [:D]

Ghostrider has a nice drop out, lat turn, and then into the lift. Always brings a smile to my face!

Well, ghostriders dropout isn't all that great. But gives you a tiny taste of the awesome ride comming at you.

one of my favorites would have to be the Santa Cruz Giant Dipper. Drops right into a tunnel and does an "s" turn 180* turn left and another 180* right turn right into the lift hill.

The Jackrabbit at Kennywood is similar to the Thunderbolt, it's fun.

Also, the Blue Streak at Conneaut doesn't drop out so much but the left then right in a tunnel to get to the lift is pretty fun(or was)^similar to what your describing about the Giant Dipper.
