Visually Stunning Coasters?

If only Timbers RODE that well Brent....but yes, it does LOOK beautiful...;)

Inredible Hulk, Dueling Dragons, X, and Xcel are all good. None of these can compared to my first sight of MF from across the causeway; which was on a cloudy foggy day with the hill shrouded in mist. It was like something out of a dream.

Drachen Fire, moreso from the crest of Nessy's lift than from the path leading to it...DF's lift and 130-ft. tall corkscrew looming over the trees was an impressive sight.

Kinda like this.

Bill, you need to give Timbers a chance to redeem herself.

I just thought of somethign even more impressive.

Knoebel's Twister from the drop.
This is such a thing of beauty.

Pretty much any B&M LOOKS fantastically brilliant, I personally think the MOST visually stunning steel coasters (from pictures) are Vortex at PKI, and Phantom's Revenge (because I really like the look of that new Morgan track) For wood, the most visually stunning is a tie between White Cyclone (as previously mentioned) and Son of Beast (also previously mentioned.)

------------------
Warning: I do not think like the average person. My remarks have plenty of thought behind them. Take it for what it's worth, if you disagree, please, feel free to express it, but don't put me down because of it.

That's the picture Brent....we have one eerily similar...except for the leaves being a different color...:)

Swamp Fox most definatley, along with the MB Hurricane from Ocean Blvd, MF, SOB, White Cyclone of course, i also find any Arrow or Shwartzkopf tho be spectacular looking, also, Thunder Road while on that road next to it (whatever the name is), and Top Gun: TJC from Carowinds Blvd. and the South Gate. Theres SO many more, but those are the notables in my book.
------------------
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, roller coasters (Homer Style)

For me it must be THUNDER DOLPHIN!

Its just looks too good to be true.

On the other hand, RATTLER and SUPERMAN KRYPTON COASTER are undoubtedly spectacular to look at.

Sadly, RCDB does not have any shots of The Raging Wolf Bobs from across Geauga Lake. I love looking at that thing from the former lighthouse giftshop over by the former wave pool. It was especially stunning when it was lit up at night and the ride would reflect off the water. Sadly, BKF has ruined that view a bit, but I still love looking at that ride.

I agree about Thunder Dolphin. To see that ride in the middle of the city amongst all of the tall buildings is pretty amazing.

And of course, Xcelerator looks impressive with all of the (for the moment) unsupported track.

Though it isn' the best ride out there, MF looks absolutely incredible from across the causeway. Even with TTD there, having MF right on the coast will still be the same jaw-dropping first impression of CP.

The Trip: CP, SFWoA, PKI, KW, HW, IB, SFGAm, MiA and LeSourdsville too.

I'm surprised Nessy hasn't gotten more nods. It's definitely one of the most photogenic coasters around.

And anything with decent theming - Montu, Volcano come to mind right away.

I think Raging Bull @ Great America looks awesome its all over SW territory.

------------------
Is it May 3rd yet? SFGAm

MF,SOB, DD,and basically all of the Busch Gardens coasters: Alpengeist, Montu, Kumba, LNM, and Gwazi. Busch really does a good job with landscaping to make the coasters look really beautiful.

I would say Medusa at great adventure. I love going under the cobra roll! I would also say Kraken, Great American Scream Machine at Gadv(seeing it when you're coming to the parking lot) and all of Cedar point's coasters that you see when you approaching the park. I wonder how TTD will look.

Vater, I might be high...but isn't that Alpengeist in your link?

------------------
SRM 2003-Look for the guy with my name on his chest

For some reason I am going to say Wicked Twister. When driving on the causeway, you just see the two spikes up in the air, and it looks extremely weird and out of place, but yet of course the whole Cedar Point skyline looks like that.

------------------
The top 3 all time cobrarolls.

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

If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Well, Peabody beat us to the post, but I beat you all to the ride!!!!
------------------
Saddam Hussein - the new single

For more damage, try these!!!

I think American eagle at SFGAm is visually stunning.

------------------
People scare me.

I would have to say the first drop on MF is a image that just burns into your memory the first time you see it and you never forget it. Also, the first time you see the Hulk launch out over you head is something special. The Ga. Scorcher is a beautiful ride at the entrance of SFoG, and SOB is very stunning and massive. Like "the Thrill 2" said pretty much all the rides at the Busch Gardens parks look great.
