Craziest Coasters

CPSFMMCW

Mega Poster
What is your favorite out of control coaster? This is the type of coaster that whips you around, jerks you, and makes you feel like your going to go soaring out of your seat. Some examples of these coasters are Maverick, Intimidator 305, and The Voyage.
 
Tough to pick just one. I305 gets pretty wild with some insanely fast horizontal & vertical transitions after the big airtime hill, while El Toro & Skyrush both seem be trying their damndest to hurl you out of your seat for most of the ride. Then there's also Thunderhead, which doesn't necessarily have the crazy airtime but also darts through some quick direction changes and doesn't seem to have very much straight track at all.
 
I'd say X2 is easily one of the craziest, well more, disorienting than anything. Also Texas Giant is up there too.
 
I should probably wait until Wednesday after I've ridden Outlaw Run to say anything, but for now my vote goes with SkyRush and X2. I'd also have to go with Lost Coaster Of Superstition Mountain as an alternative mention, not that it does anything sensational but there are very few coasters that throw you around in your seat quite like that one does (especially the reverse facing seats). I'll also go along with CPSFMMCW as far as Maverick and the Voyage, but I305, in spite of it's quick transitions, just isn't up there with the others imo.

I didn't find El Toro was really that out of control. It's a great ride, but you are always aware of "what's coming next" - apart from the crazy ejector hill which tends to take you by surprise.

That's why Boulder Dash gets my vote. You just never knew what it was going to throw at you around the next corner.

Crazy, but fun. :--D

EuroSat is crazier I'm sure :lol:
 
SkyRush for sure <3 But honourable mention to Tornado at Bakken, totally wtf and completely threw me!
 
The Ultimate and Blackpool's Wild Mouse come to mind.

Space Mountain at WDW also deserves a mention. I hadn't heard a lot about the coaster, apart from it was "good", so I was totally not expecting it to be like how it was. I literally thought I was going to go flying, the airtime/sharp turns were that extreme.

As for the ride itself, maybe.
But I think the whole idea of a coaster like EuroMir tops it.

For sure, I always forget what a beast it is! Crazy ride XD

I was going off of the "makes you feel like your going to go soaring out of your seat" statement.

And yet it's somehow still ranked lower than the space mountain at Disneyland.

WDW has the drops, turns, and crazy transitions. Disneyland has helices. lots and lots of helices. I just don't get it.

as for crazy, skyrush. Also Leap the Dips, it just doesn't feel safe. It may not look like much from a POV, but it's much different on the ride itself.
