I was wondering, what is your favorite type of roller coaster?
An example would be hypertiwster or B+M inverted or floorless or B+M standup twister cosater or corkscrew coaster or boomerang coaster, those are just some examples mine would have to be floorless, i live in texas(used to live by sfgam) and i always go to six flags fiesta texas and i cannot get enough of of Superman Krypton Coaster! What is your fav type of coaster?

It's a tie between the B&M invert and floorless. They're both really awesome. When I was at Geauga Lake, I could not get enough of Dominator.

I havent been on a B&M Floorless (like theres any other kind) but I love B&Ms so Im sure I would love it. also SFGAm has such great ties with B&M it would be sooo right.

I'd love a clone of Mr. Freeze at SFGAm but we already have a launcher and we could really use a big looper which is exactly what Floorless coasters dish out. Scream! was a great coaster that I liked as well. I go for floorless.

While I would love a floorless rollercoaster and that seems to be in the cards eventually for us, I still would prefer a Premier LIM shuttle like Poltergeist. I go down to Fiesta Texas almost as much as SFGAm and absolutley adore Poltergeist

I think we have enough new lower capacity coasters. i.e.Rajin Cajun, Deja Vu, V2

We could always use a ride that moves the people just as fast as Raging Bull or Batman.

I'd have to say its a tie between any kind of launched coaster and a B&M Invert. I cannot get enough of being launched, and the type of ride experience that comes from a B&M inverted coaster is like no other.

I also really like B&M Hypers, and Invertigos.
Finally Coaster Season!!

We already have a LIM, and besides, I'd take a floorless over a LIM any day! (even if the LIM had more track than V2)

I think SFGAm is at the point were it doesn't matter if some coasters are non-high capacity due to the fact that SFGAm has so many. On top of that, SFGAm has tons and tons of flats with a new waterpark in the wings.
So, I wouldn't really be worried about non-capacity coasters at SFGAm. Now, if you are talking about a park that has six or seven coasters, no waterpark, and hardly any flats; that park should have more high-capacity rides.

As for me, it's kind of hard to decide which exact type I like the best. Batman, you didn't really give enough options though. I like LIMs, the giant boomerang, flying, standup, inverted, Mine Trains, and wooden so it is quite difficult to just choose one. Since D Vu' is my favorite coaster thus yet of all coasters, I guess I have to say giant boomerang.

The gold for me would go to Premier's Revenge of the Mummy. Any coaster that is long, themed, and has cool stunts and special effects along the way is a friend of mine.

I want to see a B&M floorless built at GAm. I wouldn't really care about anything else.

A floorless would be cool.

I love the wide train versions of hypercoasters like RB.
