Favorite Coaster - CoasterBuzz

I was just wondering what your favorite coaster to build with is. By that I mean most efficient, exciting, intense, or whatever your standards are. There's definately a lot to choose from out there!

Mine's the Steel mini car ride one. You can really build nice, compact, high capacity coasters with good ratings. What's yours?

I like building out-and-back Hyper Coasters.

My favorite type to work with is the Schwarzkopf style looping coasters. They seem to have the cleanest transitions in the banked turns and are easy to make realistic looking coasters.

Running a close second is any type of B&M style coaster with the exception of inverted. The intensity on the inverts always gets too high if you make them too much like real ones.

Intamin Giga Coaster for me. I love starting them like an out and back and then making a tangled mess of banked drops at the end. This is what RCT has been lacking.

I find I am best suited for Giovanola/B&M speed coasters, not even hypers necessarily. I find them enjoyable to build.

-----------------
Is that a Q-bot in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

I find myself building Woodies and B&M coasters a lot, and lately I've been doing quite a few Giovanola Hypers. I can't stand the Intamin Hypercoasters in the game, though. Steep drops and overbanked turns are the signature elements of an Intamin hyper, and sadly, they weren't included.

The B&M twisters for fun, the Intamin Giga for stats.

As far as the game goes, I still like my woodies, something about the big old wood supports and structures look beuatiful to my eye.

That, and boy do I go to town on go-kart tracks. I use them to fill small places of land in my parks. In a money scenario, they are cheap, but bring in cash and peeps.

For fun I look to several types of coasters. I would have to say my favorite has to be the Wooden Coaster. I love making historical looking wooden coasters(I am a huge history buff as well as a coaster lover and sometimes those two interests cross).

I also like any of the Schwarzkopf knockoffs in the game. The steel looper and the spiral coasters always look really neat with the graceful swooping curves.

I really never worry about getting super high ratings. I build what I like and I find that for the most part, the peeps tend to like it too. I know a big giga or a big Beemer will get high ratings, but if I dont like the look of it or I dont think I can make it fit, I dont even make a go at it.

I like all the B&M coasters. The transition are so fluid, plus the roar....mmmm....music to my ears

I like the B&Ms too but I don't like building the verticle drops on them because they don't look too realistic. Can anybody name a good B&M with a verticle drop (in real life)?

It depends what's available in the scenario. I end up building a lot of sweet wood coasters because that's what is affordable.

I lost my hat on Poison Ivy. How pathetic.

I love florless hypers or any inverted ride.

i am building loads of woodies at the moment and a giga coaster now and then, but i like building small, compact coasters and i feel woodies are the best for this

I love building the B&M hyper coasters. You can make them look so realistic.

The top 3 all time cobrarolls.

1)Raptor's
2)Deja Vu's (times 3)
3)Batman Knight Flight's

I don't know why but I haven't been using the giga as much as I thought i would. I mean it is detailed and all but the drops can't go at an 80 or 90 degree angle and it looks funny. I'm also fed up and sick of the sound it makes when it runs. I hate that steel coaster noise that has been used throughout the RCT generations.

The woodies are great grand and wunderful because they sound and look real and they are pretty cheap.

B & M and Giovanola hypers. Whether it be out-and-back, twisted, or out-and-back-to-twisted, they're the coasters for me. I also get the best ratings on those.

-----------------
Top 3, no order: S:ROS (SFNE), MF, BTR (SFGAm)

I also think that Intamin giga should be able to go verticle, or at least 80. That would actually look pretty cool if it went at 80.

I like the giga and the 4d, although I think alot could be added to the track as in more than just banked curves and helix sized drops.
