Best coaster endings - CoasterBuzz

I can't believe someone didn't mention the ending on Goliath! I'm talking when it first opened Goliath, now the trim brake slows the train too much imo. When I first went on Goliath in July of last year, we hit that centrifuge helix at the end and I couldn't put my arms up! It had some SERIOUS g's going on. I loved that coaster. Then I went back in November and the brakes had been turned up or something, because the helix is a little weak now. It's still one of the best endings to a coaster though. Twisted, and positive g's galore. Roar at SFMW has a pretty nice ending too. The train seems to gain momentum near the end and the train speeds into the final brakes. Great coaster ending also. Peace. :)

I'm just curious. Several people are mentioning several coasters all from the same park. Have any of these people visited more than that park? Because I find it hard to believe that if you have visited several parks that all of the best are at one and on the other hand if you haven't visited any other parks, why not just list one since you're obviously extremely biased. Just seems childish.

My favorite would have to be the Screamin' Eagle. Rounding that last turn I'm always upset that my ride is over but those last couple of bunny hills always leave me grinnin' from ear to ear.

I think TOP GUN at PGA is the best because that when you go into that inversion oMg the LAKE .. you can feel the water vapors and mist all hitting your face feels great. Does other coasters have similiar inversions like TOP GUn? What about Carowinds Top GUn. SAme Layout!? *** This post was edited by www.KiNeTicZero.com on 4/27/2001. ***

Different layout, no lake.

Mf LOOKS like it has the best ending. A bunny hop and over bank turn. But as far as coasters I've ridden, SROS (SFNE) has the best ending with the hops PLUS that tightly banked turn into the brake run. I love it.

SROS at SFNE, the #1 steelie

Wow! I though Old Kennywood felt like it was just always there!

People, Adventure Express at PKI starts on level ground and them dips down into a ravine for all the excitement. It has to get back up the hill somehow. I thought the enclosed tunnel was a good idea...better than nothing at all. Remember, this is a family coaster.

It's a tie between Raptor and Millennium Force. Raptor because of the twisting effect and MF for the high bank turn and sheer speed. Goliath was nice for G's, but when it first opened the G's were a bit over done. Thank God for trim brakes.

How's Titan?

I would have to say that the beast has the best ending for a wooden coaster. As for a steel coaster, I would have to go with raptor.

I think my fave steel is the big bad wolf. That drop towards the river is great!! As for wood either raven or legend.

#1 - The Beast Helix
#2 - SROS at SFA running really fast at night. You hop over the last bunny so fast that you can't believe you will stop before running through the station. Better have you hands down for the brakes unless you have iron abs.

Top Gun at PGA

My favorite endings are:
1) The helix on Shivering Timbers.
2) The bridge drop followed by the splash down on Blazing Fury at Dollywood.

Three awesome bunny hops followed by a sharp lefty into the Oh-my-God-we're-gonna-hit-the-train-in-the-station magnetic break run. Again, my pick is Superman at SFNE.
