I have personaly only ridden one suspended in my lifetime, Iron Dragon at Cedar Point. What are some other of the exceptional suspendeds in the world? Which one is the tallest, fastest, longest?
I think we had this same question before but Iron Dragon is pretty fun.

Parks for 2000: SFEG,IOA,MGM,WDW,PGA,SFMW,SCBB,Lakeside.
Out of the 3 I was on, Iron Dragon (CP), Top Gun (PKI), and Big Bad Wolf (BGW)
The Big Bad Wolf Wins IMO. Whats better than running thru an old German town then only to drop 90ft. onto the Rine River make a tight S turn and rip back up the hill to the station.
My next favorite is Top Gun. It could have been designed better to use the terrain better. It could have had a big drop as well. Still not a bad ride though.
Out of the three Iron Dragon is my least favorite. They should put some sort of themeing below and call it the Suspended Monorail.

I still think TopGun(PKI)is the best after riding BBW this year.
There's a near clone of it at Paramount's Canada's Wonderland just outside of Toronto called the Vortex.

I've only ridden Iron Dragon, and the Vortex at PCW, and I'd have to say the Vortex is better. It feels fast and intense through the whole ride. My only complaint is that it is way too short. For the best ride, get the front seat.
Big Bad Wolf is #10 on my list of fav coasters(that is ahead of the Raptor). This ride totally blew me away. I liked it more than Apollo's Chariot. I don't know why, but I am a lateral g junkie, and it's two drops were very good, only 90 ft, but they give you "the feeling in your stomach" so well!!! Very higly underrated! Top Gun (PKI) is good, just WAY too short.

Coasters- a little slice of heaven
I've only been on two different suspended coasters, they are Iron Dragon at CP and Ninja at SFMM. My favorite of the two was Ninja because it seemed a lot faster and it was pretty cool going through all those trees and oing just above that little pond.
I'd have to say Big Bad Wolf also. When you swoop down the hill over the water, very cool.

Thank you for riding America's Roller Coast
Id say the Iron dragon, the not at the end over the lagoon with the mist of water hitting you face is so cool!
IRON DRAGON!!!!!!:)

Magnum-Just Ride It!!!
The Big Bad Wolf, without a doubt. The theaming is imaculate, right down to the candles in the windows at night, the feeling of flying through the village is intense, and that final drop is mindblowing, espercially without the trims on:-)!!

Six Flags America IS a Six Flags park!
Only been on Iron Dragon and Top Gun, and Top Gun at PKI wins by far. It's too-short of a ride but so non-stop it's incredible. great ride!

Big Bad Wolf all the way. Top Gun at PKI is a close second, if it were only longer. Other than that, I've ridden Ninja and Iron Dragon. They are fun, but don't supply the thrills the other two have.
These coasters had so much potential. I always felt Arrow could have done more with them. The problem with Iron Dragon is that the first hill is just too small. The second-half of the ride is fantastic.
Big Bad Wolf, by far. Note that the only other suspended I've ridden is Iron Dragon (didn't get to PKI until after The Bat was closed, and haven't been since before Top Gun opened), so the competition isn't exactly in the same ballpark ;)

I rode three this summer, BBW, Iron Dragon, and Top Gun. Top Gun was by far my favorite, followed closely by BBW. Top Gun was intense and in your face. Top Gun only had one lift hill so it seemed shorter, but it seemed like it had more time of sooping down through its own supports and trees.
