I have not ridden this but I have seen the pictures. Right now it is on the background of the computer. Boulder Dash is awsome with the trees right next to the track and the mountain side.
Millennium Force.
It just looks sweet as your driving down the causeway and you see that gigantic steel mechanism looming over Sandusky Bay.

It may not be the most thrilling but I like the entire appearance of Leap The Dips. After the 1999 restoration she looks great! From the fresh white paint on the supports to the green side friction guides it just looks great. If the coaster itself isn't enough they added a picket fence around the entire ride and all sorts of colorful flowers, shrubs, and small trees around it to enhance it's beauty. (I think the only plant life in the park) Even the station looks great from the plain "Leap the Dips" sign to the painted floors. Everything just looks great about this coaster.

Medusa at SFMW. Anybody seen it up close?, it is a work of art.

Life consists of two kinds of people, those who accept, and those who sit back and cry...
I think any of the Intamin Hypercoasters (or giga) look amazing, especially at night.

Some great looking coasters:
~Wildcat at Hershey Park
~Sea Serpant at Morey's Piers (Especially at night or from the beach)
~Medusa at Six Flags Great Adventure
~Ninja at Six Flags over Georgia
~Kumba
~Dragon Kahn
Steel: Mantis (cool color scheme, and completely twisted layout)
Wood: Boulder Dash (that mountainside location is absolutely gorgeous)
Shivering Timbers. Hill after hill after hill after hill after hill after hill after hill after hill after hill after hill after hill after hill after hill...I think you get the point. It almost looks like a parody of a coaster with the large second and third hills.

My favorite site, is the combination of Colossus, Goliath, and Superman viewed from the parking lot at SFMM. From just the right angle, it creates a very cool image of increasing height, and angle. I have a very cool picture of that view with a train at the apex of each.

Live to RIDE!!!
The pictures I've seen of Mean Streak make it look absolutely awesome, although most say it's not a good ride. Any picture of Millenium force makes me drool, it looks WAY too good to be true. Another great looking ride would be Riddler's Revenge, especially with the neon green question mark out front.
The best looking coaster would have to be the Beast. I know its pretty well hidden but when you go on the Eiffel Tower and look at it, it is an awesome sight.
I think Great Bear looks very nice. Just the way it winds all over the park and the way all the supports had to be positioned for it to go over that little lake. They go under the track, up, and around. Now that's cool!
I vote for Wildcat at HersheyPark. They put a lot of punch in a small area and the lanscaping around the final helix is really nice.
Mean Streak would be a close second, but I can't make it #1 since the ride is so bad.
I normally only visit CP so here's a CP top 3:
1.Meanstreak
2.Millennium Force
3.disaster transport...j/k it looks like a box
3.raptor
I actually think the SFMW Medusa. The color of the track does something weird at twilight, and takes on this weird aurora borealis blue color. It's quite a marvel of a ride as well.
MF, no question. When youre standing by Wildcat looking at the two hills over the lagoon, its just amazing the way it looks. Its just breathtaking.
I think Talon looks pretty sharp with its Color Scheme.
