The best looking coaster from the spectator's point of view is Swamp Fox in Myrtle Beach, at night. It is the stuff of dreams. The canonical, platonic vision of a wooden roller coaster, spruced up with a little bit of dreamland color and imagery. No doubt.
The best looking coaster from the rider's perspective is, of course, Boulder Dash. I mean, come on.
Lightning Racer at night, no other coaster compares to it's looks (and the ride is awesome too)
I know I'm starting up an old post but heres my vote:
Judge Roy Scream, Shockwave & Texas Giant
i think that mean streak's look makes it look cool but the ride does suck. Millenium Force would be the best looking steel because the supports are different
Althought not the greatest coaster out there, how intimidating does the High Roller look sitting on top of the Stratosphere.
I think mine would have to be Buzzsaw Falls @ SDC, i just like that way it goes through the little shack at the top of the lift, and all of the hick houses around the 'liquid' part.

Medusa at SFGAdv has got to be the best. With the lime green track and the purple supports, the coaster stands out even though it is in the back of the park. And with its circular queue, the entire time on line you can see its amazing layout and its awesome inversions. Just one nice looking coaster that screams "ride me!"
Personally, I think Millennium Force looks ugly (but I love the ride.) On the other hand, the Mean Streak is one of the best looking coasters I've ever seen but I believe the ride sucks. Mantis used to look awesome before 1.)the bright colors on the track faded 2.)it got dwarfed by the Millennium Force.
I'll go back a few years here to some coasters I've seen only in pictures. The Crystal Beach Cyclone. Just seeing that strikes fear in me, so that would probably win the award. The Cyclone Racer, with the beautiful backdrop of the Pacific Ocean supporting it, was one beautiful sight, too.
I love the look of Mean Streak, especially when you're out on the water at night. I also like Millennium Force. The lighting of the lift is incredible, especially when it goes into the strobe effect. It almost looks "electrified." Another one I like is Corkscrew at CP, when you look through the corkscrews towards Power Tower. Son of Beast is just an amazing structure, though it needs more trees through the course. The Beast is really cool looking from the Eiffel Tower, because of what was said above, it just seems to peek out of the trees every once and a while. Finally, Vortex. It needs a paint job, and the land around it could use some work, but the "Kodak Photo Spot" or whatever it's called is really a cool angle on the ride, when you look through towards the corkscrews and the two loops, I've always liked that since I was a wee child.

Even though i only saw it on a TV show and pictures, I think Alton Tower's Oblivion(sp?) looks kewl.

Even though the color scheme is a bit odd, I feel Raging Bull has a very unique color design. Riddler's Revenge is an awesome coaster as well.
I like the Superman Color schemes.

Live to have FUN!
Go Shamrocks!
Go Wolverines!
I think Lightning Racer is absolutely beautiful, both during the day when you can see the whole thing, and at night when they turn the chaser lights on.
As for steel, I really like Millennium Force and Loch Ness Monster. From the pictures I've seen, Superman at SFNE looks really cool, too.
I like: Magnum, Alpie, Mean Streak, Raptor, Loch Ness, BBW, MF
