Favorite Coaster Trains

Steel, the Intamin trains by FAR. They just look so damn cool.

Wooden, Kennywood's Jackrabbit ;) There's just something great looking about those old open cars...

And they would look far better if they'd strip them completely then repaint them. Painting over chipped paint looks terrible. That's the only thing at Kennywood I could really find to complain about.

I also like the MF tiered seating, but it's only really good if you are like the first two seats. With the rest you are blocked by the taller sitting seats in front. But still, the look is really cool.
However, I LOVE the look of Rockin' Rollercoaster's trains. The sound system built in the seats amplify the rating for me. I don't know. I just find the stretch limo design appealing.

Millennium Force of course of course.

I also love Woodstock's Express' trains. The little bell in front is so neat.

MF all the way baby!!!!!

Those trains are SWEET!! The yellow is my favorite although I am quite fond of red as well. These trains are just too cool!!

I really like Magnum's trains, except that the shield in the front sort of ruins the view from the front seat... I sit in the back all the time anyways. Villain has cool trains. I like the open look. SOB's trains are terrible IMO. What's with all the radioactive stuff?

My favorite trains are probably PTC trains with bench seating and fixed lap bars still intact (we're finding less and less of those around these days)

This award easily goes to Arrow-Looper trains like Viper (SFMM). These are the coolest looking trains. They sit low to the track and are just plain mean lookin. The sharp angles really work to create the look of speed and intensity. This and the inside wheels are far more appealing to look at than those on the outside. I also gotta say the Intamin trains are just ugly, ugh whats with the headlights? These trains are just not asthetically pleasing, especially veiwing from the front. I also wanna give high praise to Cobra (SFMW), that thing is just sooooooo long.

LONG LIVE ARROW DYNAMICS!!

Yeah Cobra's train is funny. It's about half way through the course before the rest of the train crests the lift (exageration). Lol!

I dont know about you, but i LOVE Face/Off's Train. Even though it mimics another facing coaster, it think it is so confortable. I could fall alseep in it if i wasnt pulling 5 Gs. I love bouncing my head against the two side pads. Its funny to look at the hand grips. They are all worn down beacuase people hold on so tight.

For steel I would pick Millennium Force's trains! Wow those three things are sooo open they gave you such a great feeling when you're flying throught it's circuit!

For wood Son of Beast's trains really hit the spot for me. The Yellow and Red mixed look really cool IMO.

Jackrabbits trains are awsome becasuse there is not labar and the seat belt is just a leather strap.

I also like the Thunderbolts trains but they're not as nice as they were when they had the headlights.

I'll hop on the Intamin bandwagon too! MF's trains are just "way" cool! Thunderbolt's trains are great too! Just wish the headlights still worked too! (I can recall them working last year.)

I like Dragon Mountain's best, and the old Vortex (PCW) trains that went from completely orange in back to white in the front.

I love MF's trains's. They are so comfertable and wide open unlike most steel coaster trains. I just like sitting down in the MF's trains in the station.

Rockin' Roller Coaster's limo cars ROCK!
