I know a lot of guys go down to Florida for vacation and hit up the amusement parks down there. So what is your favorite Florida Coaster?
Please pick other if I left any out! (Note: I left some of the lesser ones, like Scorpion, Python etc.) My vote goes to Montu.

I haven't been to Florida since 1999, and I wasn't a big fan of coasters back then. If I'm lucky I might take a trip out there sometime next year. Kraken or Montu look like the best in my opinion.

Yeah I know I left out Rock n' Rollercoaster, and I didn't think Thunder Mountain would get any votes. There's a reason I have the "other" option.

Got to go with the classic. Space mountain after all these years, keeps up with these new rides in the thrill department, anyone who has gone in the front row of space, will tell you it is jsut as fun as the hulk.

You forgot the real #1 coaster in Florida

ABANDON MINE at Uncle Bernies Amusement Park!

How could you?

Sadly (especially from my Kidneys point of view) I have ridden ABandon Mine, however, honestly Dania Beach Hurricane is far and away the best coaster in Florida, airtime on that thing is beyond belief, especially on Saturdays when it runs full trains and it's open til 2am. It leave bruises, and it tracks as good and even better than Viper.

Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping

My favorite Florida coaster has to be Kumba. The zero-g roll on that coaster has got to be the most incredible element I've ever been through.
Although, my extreme love for the B&M inverts has Montu in a very, very close second. :)
Finally Coaster Season!!

I voted for Kraken. It's the only coaster I remember going on, and it was the only floorless coaster i have ever been on.

It has to be Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. In my opinion, it is the best ride at WDW Magic Kingdom. I love mine trains.

Incredible Hulk coaster was a favorite of mine on my recent Florida trip. It still wouldn't be in my top 5 or even 10 though.

The best is Dueling Dragons Fire, the Incredible Hulk wasnt very incredible. I reall did not like that ride, it was not as good as people say it is. I would have voted for RotM, but there was no RotM, that ride is simply amazing.

I have to say Space Mountain, no matter how many people dislike it!

Sure I've rode both the Dragons, Hulk, Big Thunder, RnRC (probably my least favorite), and Tower of Terror (if you consider that a coaster). I haven't had a chance to ride the others yet because I haven't been to the other parks. The last chance I went to Sea World was when I was 7 and all I remember was the Shamu attraction.

Even if I rode all the other Space Mountains, I'll always like the one in MK because it's the first and original, and has a true Disney feel to it.
R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.
