Top 10(ish): 2024 Edition - page 124

^ You're spot on about Taron! I feel the exact same way. Glad to see another Dragon Khan fan. It's so intense and fab <3 And you're right about the zero G roll on Black Mamba, my personal fave. Full of wonderful floater.

1 - Taron : It took me 3 rides to learn how to really enjoy this far-from-perfect rollercoaster. The pacing lacks consistency, the airtimes are short and the first s-turn, hidden behind some theming, is to violent for an element you cannot expect and thus needs some re-rides to be properly enjoyed. But once you know it well, what a blast ! (and I rode it a total of 23 times during the past 2 days). I can't say it is better than Shambhala (so different, how to compare ?) , but it is definitely a great experience, with good intensity, a incredible theming, great speed and some really fun curves.

Really interesting take on the ride. Similar to mine, when I think about it, but unfortunately I couldn't fall in love with it quite as much as most people have seemed to. Maybe I need all those 23 rides that you had ;)
 
A few changes over the past couple of weeks... I had to take El Toro out of my top ten because I simply don't remember it well enough to compare it. I also added two coasters and rearranged a few!

1. Eejanaika
2. Storm Chaser
3. Wicked Cyclone
4. Wildfire
5. Voyage
6. Bizarro
6. Skyrush
7. Hades 360
8. Outlaw Run
9. Iron Rattler
10. Boardwalk Bullet

I don't often see Hades 360 above Outlaw Run and Iron Rattler, and that's an unusual number one! I love the variety of these lists.

To be fair, X2 blew me away and in many circles, Eejanaika is a ramped up version of it. Hades, though, I have my doubts it would sneak that far up personally. To each their own of course.

Yeah, to be clear, I often express surprise in response to lists, but that shouldn't be confused with criticism. I genuinely like seeing the variety.
 
I just realized I had two coasters in my number 6 spot. That was unintentional :p

Umm, I guess to clarify why I put Hades there, I expected NOTHING and got almost everything I like in a coaster. Yes, it's rough as heck in some spots, and the operations are terrible, but the airtime is amazing and the tunnel! The tunnel! Before going there I had no idea there were two lengthy tunnels on it and I just came out of them laughing my head off. It has the traditional wooden coaster feel but also has good airtime and is quite relentless, kind of similar to Voyage in that way. Outlaw Run and Iron Rattler are amazing, but were simply a bit short.

Great description. The way you describe it is just the way it looks to me on POVs (I haven't ridden it), but most enthusiasts I know who've ridden it seem really down on this coaster.

I can certainly understand their perspective on that. It's nowhere near a perfect coaster, is quite rough (especially the track preceding the lift hill) and the operations are extremely frustrating which can ruin the experience. I had never watched a POV, and expected literally nothing because I had only heard bad things about it. It beats you up, but in a good way, I guess. As much as I love RMCs for how smooth and relentless they are, I very much appreciate the traditional wooden coaster experience despite a bit of roughness, as long as it doesn't get too painful. Hades had way more airtime than I ever expected it to have as well!
 
Been able to hit some parks the last few days, and still got Canobie Lake tomorrow. Assuming nothing there even comes close to this list, here is the update:

1. Lightning Rod
2. El Toro
3. Wicked Cyclone
4. Goliath (SFGAm.)
5. Skyrush
6. Boulder Dash
7. Fury 325
8. Leviathan
9. Voyage
10. Maverick

Boulder Dash had been my #1 bucket list coaster for many years, so I'm glad to finally knock that off today!

Look at you getting on coasters and stuff! :D
 
Why do people still rate Toro xD

Riding it again yesterday it has gotten rougher and it has three good hills and nothing else.

I just don't see how it can stand up to today's standards - there's some vastly superior rides in that list! Ie all of them!
 
1. Helix - Liseberg. The layout, the music, the lights...
2. Expedition GeForce - Holiday Park. Dat first drop, plus endless airtime throughout the rest of the layout as well.
3. Schwur des Kärnan - Hansa Park. Beyond awesome theming and great speed in layout.
4. iSpeed - Mirabilandia. Intensity.
5. Junker - PowerPark
6. Flug Der Dämonen - Heide Park
7. Taron - Phantasialand
8. Wildfire - Kolmården
9. Dragon Khan - Port Aventura
10. Piraten - Djurs Sommerland
 
^ Good to see another Junker fan. Seems to be just me, CookieCoaster and you so far :p I like your list in general. Many fab coasters, though I'm not sure if I'll rank Flug above Taron and Wildfire ;)

Considering I have no idea what you're talking about I'm gonna say no. However, it was also a cloudy and slightly chilly day, so they may have turned it off.

We had no idea it was a thing until we got about halfway down the first drop and seen a wall of water coming for us. We thought it was a scare tactic and that it wouldn't reach us, but... It did. We came off soaked.

1. El Toro

But it's gotten all rough now? It's literally three hills and doesn't stack up to anything that's being built now?

Do not get the Toro thing, and it was even worse last week. Had to actually force myself to ride it a second time.
