My first CCI coaster - CoasterBuzz

Hoosier Hurricane was mine, then Cornball, and the last one I have ridden was Villain. All great coasters!

Punkrockrider - Viper @ SFGAM is not a CCI.

I went from 0 to 3 in one day, thanks to a trip to Big Chief. Pegasus was the first one we rode, since it was the closest to the ticket booth. Then we moved to Zeus, and I became a convert after one lap. 23 laps later, this one is still in my top ten. Cyclops didn't open until later in the day, but it was worth the wait -- "the drop" is insane!

Since then, I've ridden Raven, The Legend, The Villain, Boulder Dash, Twisted Twins (both), The Boss, Cornball Express, and Hoosier Hurricane. Boulder Dash is still my favorite wooden coaster, and I think seven of my top ten are CCIs. I just wish a few more would pop up in Ohio!

Cheetah was my first. It's fast, furious, and packs some good airtime.

Universal Orlando regular since the first day of IOA's soft opening...

My first was Hurricane: Category 5 at Myrtle Beach (I think thats a CCI). Follow ups were Lighning Racers (both), and Wildcat at HP.

Wildcat CCI, right?

My first was The Hoosier: Hurricane at Indiana Beach. Doesn't have much air, but it still a very fun ride.

I think both Lightning Racers and Wildcat were made by GCI, not CCI. Correct me if I'm wrong, oh well.

I think Villain's my first and I'll be riding Ghostrider in my trip which I'll take from the 10th-25th. (Vegas, Cruise, Sfmm, Santa Monica, Knotts, Hollywood)

-----------------
Top 5:
5) S:ros Sfdl 4) Raptor 3) Apollos Chariot 2) Magnum 1) Millennium Force

Twisted Twins/Sisters. Nice air on Stella, but nothing too memorable. My only other CCI, Hurricane at Myrtle Beach, is an excellent ride! Great air, laterals, and not too rough. Very underrated coaster.

How embarassing, the Sky Princess at Dutch Wonderland. I was like 10 or something, thought it was the best thing since, well, I dunno what. I rode it a few times, and then decided I liked the Phoenix better.

Yes I'm 15, no I'm not childish, I'm not being sarcastic, well maybe I do have somewhat of an ego...

The Raven was my first CCI followed by Shivering Timbers, Zach's Zoomer, The Villain, The Legend, Twisted Sisters Lola, Twisted Sisters Stella, Ghostrider, and Cheetah.

The Legend is my favorite so far and Cheetah is my least favorite. That could change with less roughness and different trains though. It felt weird not to want to ride a walk-on CCI more than twice. I think all of the others have been fairly smoothe overall and delivered great rides for the most part.

Wildcat CCI, right?

Hurricane: Category 5 is CCI

Lightning Racer & Wildcat are GCI

My first was the best. Of course I'm talking about The Raven.

My first CCI was The Hoosier Hurricane over at Indiana Beach.

Hurricane Cat. 5 at Myrtle Beach, and IMO, it's not the best. Its too rough and G-trains suck.

Sit back, hold on tight, because Mamba is about to strike! Enjoy Your Ride!

Does anyone think CCI is better then PTC?

Im the #1 Canobie Lake Park Fan!!!These are my top 3 coasters:
1. S:RoS @ SFNE 2. Yankee Cannonball 3. Cyclone

I pass by their home office in West Chester, Ohio every day. They took down their Custom Coasters sign that sat on a wooden rollercoaster "first drop" stucture, but I'm pretty sure they're still there. Funny, that office is about 10 minutes away from PKI, home of the Dinn Beast.

My first CCI was the Raven...since then, I've done The Legend, The Boss, Twisted Twins, Shivering Timbers, Hoosier Hurricane, and Cornball Express. They all have been great rides, excluding Hoosier Hurricane, which was a bit tame(fun nonetheless), and Timbers, which was overall just not that great of a ride. By the way, Andy, you probably did just catch the Boss on a bad day...it's been running rougher than usual as of late.

CannonBall Run was my first at Gulf Shores AL. I knew after riding it that there was something different about it. It looked about half the size of GASM at SFoG, yet was MUCH better. This was back before I knew much about coasters, so I had no idea why. I've also been on Rampage (RIP).

In 2 weeks, I will be able to add Twisted Twins, Raven, Legend, Hoosier Hurricane, Cornball Express, and LoCoSuMo to that. Wa Hoo!!!!

First & only, Hurricane @ Myrtle Beach. Out of all the wood we've riden, C5 always delivers. As long as you're not stapled, you get your all differing types of air, nice turns, loads of speed, the best contrasting front & back seats with HAAAANNNG in the front, RRRRIIIPPP over the top in back, & on hot days after rain the helices will tear off your face;). Rough? A bump or two is far from rough, besides, with all the "rough" coasters other enthusiasts talk of, I simply DO NOT believe in rough. Rough is just absolutely when you don't get back on, ever, JMHO. I think people grab on & hold on way too tight. That's what gives me "rough rides". You're grabbing onto the roughest most vibrating thing around, the train. Otherwise, I've found if you just don't hold on or hold onto something that gives, like the restraint, it's never bad.
Drawback to the Hurricane, though, it can become costly to ride & it's very hard to get your ride momentum going, no rerides even if you're the only person there, usual a guarantee one train, & it just doesn't dispatch enough to give you a good ride per day count.

Call me an odd ball, but the more times I ride rides with PTCs, the Hurricane's Gerstlauers become ever more desirable to me. I think I've developed a preference to them. Nice scooped seats, the shape gives comfort & an invisible seat division. The lapbars are wide, with a bar all the way down both sides that gives you plenty of room. On the Hurricane, they offer some nice whizzing sounds, plus every seat on that G-train has a good view. Call me crazy, but I would rather ride more wood with trains like that!

Gerslauter trains shall have thier revenge, I promise, & I'll be happy riding when it happens;).

I would have to say im not sure. Only been on Shivering Timbers. Villian is Monday. Will tell you what I think then. It looks to me that all CCI's are favorites. Look how many different ones everyone picked...
