cOOlest loading station?
I just want to know what people think about loading stations? What is the collest one youve seen or been in? Mine are Goliath because of the theming, and Magnim XL 200 because it is so futureistic
Magnum would be one. Batman: The Ride, at SFGAm. (It's not a coaster, but can I mention Twilight Zone Tower of Terror? That is so much fun...)

Batman the ride is the only station I've been to that's different then the standard. I spose the Dragon at Adventureland is pretty fun too. (Hey man they're trying lets cut them slack for that) After you exit the coaster you go into a room with mirrors and stuff. Plus the entrance interior reminds me a bit of the foyer of some castle.

Space Mountain is still my favorite loading station even after all these years. I also like the Hulk(IOA) station a lot.

Thank you Disney, thank you...

My favorite loading station is, or should I say was, Nightmare at Phantom Cave over at Six Flags Darien Lake. It had a really nice theme of a cave that twisted in the waiting line and you never knew what was around the corner.
Also, they had this lame/cool (depending on your opinion) video that was of some faux pas news footage of people getting lost forever in the Phantom Cave and that it was haunted. This was displayed on numerous televisions throughout the line, which helped kill time as you waited.
Even as you approached the actual loading platform, it was nicely themed with old fashion warning signs and a great atmosphere.
Even though the ride was a major disappointment after a hour wait, it was nicely themed. Unfortunately... it only lasted 2 years at Darien Lake.

I hate to say it, but I think Dueling Dragons has a freakin' amazing coaster station. My folks just went to the park, and they agreed. I also think that Rock N Roller Coaster wins kudos for being one of the best themed coaster stations. Anyone agree? I think Six Flags wins the award for Worst Collection of Coaster Stations. . .can we at least try, folks?!
Dragon Mountain - Marineland. Very cool exterior. Totally dark on the inside execpt for lights around the train.

I really like the station for Volcano The Blast coaster at PKD. I think the jungle type themeing and the volcano its self are really neat.The fire out of the top isnt really a part of the station ,but it adds to the whole package.
Yeah, forgot about Dragon Mountain.
That has a good Loading Station...
too bad they never finished the rest of the coaster theme!

Flight of Fear at PKD and PKI. Nice setup before the loading area.

Peace, Love, and Rollercoasters.........we need more of all three.
I think the best station is dueling dragons.It might be long and scary.But the Ride is the bomb!

I like the Exterminator loading station. It has great theming and you can see the roots coming down through the ceiling - great effect!
Millennium Force's station is awesome because it's open and so empty, and uncrowded. It is also sweet because a train flies within inches of the mesh fence.
