"Knoebels Phoenix is my all-time fav... to me, it is the perfect roller coaster. It isn't huge, but it has everything that a coaster lover could possibly want, all while being located in one of the best amusement parks around! It is one coaster that I could ride endlessly and enjoy every single second of it!"

I feel the exact same way. I love that thing. Mforce is my second fav.

My favorite coaster is NITRO. It's so tall and steep and fast and smooth - what's not to love?Front row, YEAH!!!

well if you would have asked me friday i would have told you tthe best woodie out there Texas Giant. But Friday a big orange tracked thing just blew me away. It is my number one. I can't remember the name though. ;)

TITAN Laps: 1, so far

Well, I love Goliath. It's just so friggn fast. The way it goes down second hill, and you can see the ground coming at you a million miles per hour(or maybe it just seems that way) then you turn away and fly over the floating hill. I love it.

I dont care about what anyone eles says byt Nitro is the best coaster in the world period!!!

Put me down for that coaster that coaster crazy couldn't remember the name of. The one with the orange track. Any coaster that can black people out left and right with not one but two beatifull helixes gets my vote.

Medusa West is awesome so Is Goliath. You all need to get out west more for some great coasters!!!

magic mountain and CP rule

Why would I want to ride Goliath when Titan is sitting only a couple of miles from my home. But don't take my word for it, come down and ride Titan yourself. I'm sure you'll agree....once you regain consiousness, that is.

"OK - Here's a small list.
Inverter - Montu, followed closely by Nemesis.
Woodie - Grand National, followed closely by Shivering Timbers.
Steel - Magnum
Overall - Magnum!

And you can't argue with someone who has 409 coasters in their track record!

It's great to see the Grand National get the recognition it deserves, it's got loads of airtime and although it's my 2nd favorite woodie, with the Beast being 1st (and my favorite overall), the National wins as the most enjoyable ride ever. I've only ridden the Beast twice, maybe if I lived closer to it, I would tire of it, but I will never tire of the Grand National.

May/June 2001 - 16 parks in 18 days!!!

SROS:SFNE definately the best.

Kumba. Saw photos of it in the early days of the 'net ('95), that burned permanent images in my mind. Kumba is a magnificent work of art. Click on the below to see what I mean (The original clear photos are long gone :()

Watched a documentary on Theme Parks which had clips from 'America's Greatest...' The rear POV shot of Kumba sailing through the Zero-G Roll absolutely blew me away. Finally got to ride last year. Even better than I thought which is why I rode it 34 times in my one & only visit to BGT! :):):)

If there was only one coaster on Earth, my choice would be Kumba.

As Coaster Enthusiasts, the more appropriate answer to "Which is your favorite coaster?" is supposed to be "The one I'm on!!!"

Millenium Force is the best you can't beat that first drop ! *** This post was edited by Dennis on 4/30/2001. ***
