July 22, 201610 yr We're at Kings Island right now and there are about 14 people here. What was your longest wait in line?
July 22, 201610 yr Ever been to Cedar Point? Cedar Point makes KI look like a festival. 1. Top Thrill Dragster 2. Beast 3. Wild Eagle 4. Flight of fear
July 22, 201610 yr Americana? Yup. Not that it's the best or even my favorite as I've not been to an amusement park in more than 25 years. Just thought it bore mention, especially given how scary-as-hell it was with the way it jumped the track, frequently. I guess I'd say my favorite was The Beast.
July 22, 201610 yr I went to Six Flags over NJ once, where Kingda Ka is, but I didn't ride it. The line was so long for that thing it would have taken the whole day to get through. I think I got to go through most of the others twice, though.
July 22, 201610 yr I've rode 1 roller coaster in the 25 years because we got free tickets, the coaster around and above the NY NY casino in Vegas. It was neat.
July 23, 201610 yr The Beast, at night, in October, in the front car. Perfection. Very, very nicely done.
July 23, 201610 yr I'm sure we'll get a lot of Kings Island coasters, but if yours is from another park, let us know. The Diamondback is my favorite. At first blush I wondered how a 7 year-old kid was riding the Diamondback, much less starting a thread about the best coasters. Then, I remembered you big for your age. :thumb: Seriously, nice thread.
July 23, 201610 yr I'll go with: 1. Millennium Force CP (best ride EVER. It's Diamondback on steroids.) 2. Diamondback (great, sustained speed and it's a good, long ride.) 3. The Beast (the grandfather of the great ones, but if you ride it at night there may not be anything better.) 4. Top Thrill Dragster CP (you wanna go 120 mph on a coaster? I think that's top speed. Then you go straight up and hope you get over the hump. If not you fall backwards and start all over. Nice.) 5. Gatekeeper CP (It's like you are flying an open air stunt plane over Lake Erie early in the ride. Highly underrated IMO.) 6. ValRavn CP (major record holder for a coaster, CP's newest. Riding in the front row puts this in the top five.) 7. Maverick CP. (Traces of Flight of Fear, traces of Diamondback, some Banshee kicked in. Great coaster. Highly underrated.) 8. Banshee. (Toss up between it and Raptor IMO. KI's coaster gets the homer vote.) 9. Raptor CP. (see above.) 10. Wicked Twister CP. (Right on the lake. It's like a huge swing on a coaster. Similar to KI's Invertigo?. Can't remember the KI version's name.)
