Re: Top 10(ish): 2015 Edition - page 27 Updated for 2015 so far. Forcing myself to limit it to 10. 1. El Toro (SFGA) 2. The Voyage (Holiday World) 3. Bizarro (SFNE) 4. Phoenix (Knoebels) 5. intimidator305 (King's Dominion) 6. Millennium Force (Cedar Point) 7. Shivering Timbers (MI Adventure)...

Isn't that a Vekoma? I'm not sure about a list. Anaconda's a lot of fun, but the setting leaves a lot to be desired (Although a dirty retention pond probably IS a pretty good place to find a giant snake...). Loch Ness is by far my favorite. Such a unique layout that travels around that river...

I had a better time at King's Dominion than Canada's Wonderland. Though I'm willing to bet CW is a lot more fun when it's not 40 and periodically sleeting, yes? :) All joking aside, Canada's Wonderland is much, much better landscaped than KD. However, I do feel like there's more to actually do...

1. Apollo's Chariot 2. Nitro 3. Goliath (SFoG) 4. Behemoth They're all pretty close. Apollo is my favorite because I had one of my all time favorite ride experiences on it with some friends last year. It also gets my vote because it provides all that nice airtime while also using the awesome VA...

Re: Top 10: 2013 Edition Updated list after a trip from Florida up the east coast to SFGA, SFNE, Hersheypark, and Canada's Wonderland: 1. El Toro -- Six Flags Great Adventure 2. Bizarro -- Six Flags New England 3. i305 -- King's Dominion 4. Maverick -- Cedar Point 5. Phoenix -- Knoebels 6...

Something I've always wondered: A few years ago I made my pilgrimage to Cedar Point, and got to ride the Top Thrill Dragster. Short, but probably the most incredibly thrilling ride I've ever been on. It ranks pretty high for me on my favorite coasters list, and from what I've seen on this...

Thanks!

Question when using the Flying Dutchman model for as your coaster type: Aren't the seats supposed to automatically retract into a lying-down position as the car moves from the station? Mine don't -- not sure if there's something I need to add to the track to make this happen. Thoughts?

Contrary to my screenname (Blizzrock was the name of the Ice Dragon according to Universal before it became the Horntail with the Potter addition), Fire is my favorite of the two. Ice used to be one hell of a front row ride. But over the last few years I've come to appreciate Fire's altogether...

Islands. None of the others come close. The park not only spent great time and effort making each island uniquely landscaped, they also went all out in the rides department too. It's not a coaster-centered park, it's a perfect balance. You have the coaster thrills with the Hulk and Dragon...

How can ANYONE hate i305? (Unless they rode it with the trims I guess). Each company is great in their own right, but I feel like Intamin has the higher ceiling. Their rides also seem a little more unique. They're also the company more willing to try "out there" ideas, and as a result they also...

Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, without a doubt. When I first saw the layout, I thought that it had to be the dumbest design I'd ever seen. The number of brake runs simply astounded me -- it seemed like the ride could barely pick up a head of steam before it had to be brought back under control...

Hey, I'm new to NL and I've run into a problem with my first coaster. For some reason, every time the cars reach the top of the lift, they stop and refuse to move any further. Any ideas where I could be going wrong?

Still haven't done a number of the top coasters, but I'm working my way up. Why no love for i305 yet? 1. Intimidator 305, King's Dominion 2. Maverick, Cedar Point 3. Millennium Force, Cedar Point 4. Top Thrill Dragster, Cedar Point 5. Goliath, Six Flags over Georgia 6. Apollo's Chariot, Busch...
