Why do I have this feeling I've seen Stunt Fall somewhere before??? I liked the colors, too, much better than Deja Vu (I'm a poet). It does look awesome against the sky in one pic.

Probably because they stole the colors from Flashback @ SFNE.

SFNE Central v4- Online Six Flags New England Resource
CBuzzer since September 2001 with a few bumps along the way. :)

I think SRoS at SFNE is visually stunning with its trck running parallel to the Connecticut river and the city behind it. http://rcdb.com/installationgallery628.htm?Picture=5

Some other amazing looking coasters:

Gwazi http://www.themeparks.com/buschfl/images/gwazi030.htm http://www.themeparks.com/buschfl/images/gwazi008.htm

Motnu with its elements diving in and out of the terrain http://rcdb.com/installationgallery87.htm?Picture=7

Dueling Dragons http://www.coastergallery.com/2000/IOA14.html


White Cyclone takes the creme buile!!!

After you see this, this, and this picture there will be no other that can take the glory.

Visually stunning, Fujiyama has always been the monster for me. Not even Goliath or the Bull have that effect when you look at the ride.

The Screamin Eagle and The Boss look awesome as you pull into SFSTL. Great colors against the green leafy trees in a summer breeze. Woodies with two different rides but a nice pair together.

LOL. Yes, yes it is. That's why I said 'kinda like this,' implying that the view of Drachen Fire was similar to that picture of Alpengeist. Sorry for any confusion, Mark. ;)

P.S...you might be high? Shouldn't you know one way or the other? ;)

My picks for visually stunning coasters are: Alpengeist, Loch Ness Monster,Magnum XL 200,Phantoms Revenge,Raptor,Mantis,Vortex,and Millennium Force.
Superman Ride of Steel's finale at SFNE is stunning to me, especially at night with the glowing red fog.

If at first don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.

How about a little Nemesis

Gotta Agree about the Hurricane and Swamp Fox in Myrtle Beach, seeing those wooden coasters in the middle of the city are great. Top Gun @ PCar looks really good from any where in the park, and rides even better! But i think seeing Volcano blast out of the hole with the fire and all from the parking lot @ sunset looks quite stunning.

------------------
Yeah, if coasters WEREN'T men we'd have Raging Cow instead!;)

How about Lightning Racer@ Hersheypark? That is a great looking coaster with both trains coming down the first drop, it looks pretty cool to me.

------------------
Your Park only has 1 good coaster! That's too bad!

Superman Krypton Coaster

------------------
For the sake of yourself, don't take anything I say seriously.

Steel Force, Boulder Dash, Medusa (East), Chiller, Lakeside Cyclone, Great White (Both of them), GASM (SFGadv), Viper (SFGAdv), LR, Wildcat (HP), Talon, Twister,

And then three non coasters, Skycoaster & Sling Shot at Old Town & Skyscaper at DP (more so at night)

The most visually stunning coaster's that I have ever seen in person are Hercules at Dorney Park becuase if you can get around the area where you can see the drop it is just a great looking coaster, if only it rode as good as it looked. Also Wildcat, and Lighting Racer at Hershey Park, becuase they are just such huge twisted wooden roller coasters, and last but not least would go to Mean Streak at Cedar Point. When I was in line for MS it was almost breath taking to see such a nice looking coaster like it. To be honest wooden coaster are more "visually stunning" to me then any steel coaster I have ever seen, not to say they are not.

People complain about clones, yet can't even come up with original conversation, which is ten times worse.

I'd have to go with MF. I remember the first time I went to CP, I was driving along and there it was, just sitting above everything else. It was the only ride I could see from where I was and it looked so huge. Finally when I got there it was closed. I was so disappointed. I have to go with a tie for second place. RB and Shockwave at SFGAm. They look so huge!
Seeing MF from about 15 miles away on my way to CP was awesome (I don't remember what road, but it's the one the mall is on) Son of Beast is definitely visually stunning from anywhere.
