Top 3 Cedar Point Coasters

[Hyde]

^ No Magnum love?

 

[Snoo]

Oooo yeah. And Magnum. It's in there somewhere.

 

[ava1enzue1a]

Beause Mantis is **** , simple.

Not much of an explanation, but okay. ;-)

 

[Hyde]

Dare I say Mantis aint bad?

Riddlers Revenge, Green Lantern, or Georgia Scorcher can also be aweful rides if ridden improperly.

 

[Hutch]

So what's the best way to ride a standup? I'm up for anything that improves a ride experience on a standup.

Sitting down?

You want there to be a little bend in your knees, instead of having your body overextended. This allows for more of your weight to be supported by your feet, instead of the train seat.

When they are setting the restraints, leaving a bend in your knees, enough that it will not be noticed by the ride staff who are fitting the restraints. When the restraints lock, push your restraint down, not up. This allows for you to bend your knees and support more of your own weight. In general, the uncomfortableness of stand-ups is rooted in riders allowing too much of their weight to be supported by the ride seat. The more of it you transfer to natural standing, the better.

2. Millenium Force
3. Magnum XL200

[CoburnJason54]

My top

1. Maverick
2. Top Thrill Dragster
3. Gatekeeper

Maverick has everything, launch, beyond vertical drop, speed, airtime, inversions, low to ground, what doesn't it have. Millennium force just banks the whole time with a small amount of hills and not the strongest airtime. Gatekeeper feels like catchup no matter where you sit. Top Thrill Dragster has a great launch that I could ride over and over.

1. Top Thrill
2. Maverick
3. Raptor

Maverick used to hold the top spot but after my last visit, I really didn't appreciate the abuse the ride gave me. The solid airtime on it is still worth it though.

 

[theRock-steel]

Millenium Force and Top Thrill Dragster would almost be a sure thing. As the the third, I went with Gemini over Maverick because I like the uniqueness of the steel rails over the wooden structure. I would expect Magnum, Wicked Twister, and Raptor to get some votes as well.

I haven't ridden GateKeeper or X-Flight yet. I was in the area, so I decided to give Wild Eagle some chances. No one is a bigger fan of B&M, but I will have to say that I like some other syles of coasters better (hypers, inverts, floorless loopers, dive machines). Since I only have a one ride sample size I may be wrong, but I think that there is room for improvement.
I am not sure if I would want all of them to be like X2, but I would like to see the seats tilt some. This is all just food for thought.

I was just talking to a buddy about this yesterday. I kinda feel like once you've ridden one, you've ridden them all.

I agree. The only "bad" thing I can say about Mantis is the restraints. Which is why I'm glad the second half is slower because those transitions were brutal at high speed (especially the one between the Inclined loop and MCBR, that was awfully painful). :x
