Best Trait of each ride....and the Award goes to...

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby ClubXJeff on January 25th, 2004, 11:21 pm
With the Golden Globes on tonite, I thought this would be interesting to see what you all thought the best trait, or best moment of each ride in the park would be.... here's mine.

In no particular order:

Raging Bull - Best ejector air in the park, Tied (with Batman) for most comfortable.

Superman - Best force in the park.

Batman - Front row is the best experience in the park, Tied (with Raging Bull) for most comfortable. Best themed ride at the park.

Viper - Best air in the park, hands down... I mean hands up!

American Eagle - Best view of the park, (besides Sky Trek...but that doesn't count...lol)

Iron Wolf - Best night ride in the park, (if you have ridden front row at night, you know what I'm talking about, try it!)

Vertical Velocity - Best "scream your lungs out" ride.

Deja Vu - Best "Holy $#!t factor" in the park, besides Supes pretzel.

Demon - Best um........

Whizzer - Best fun ride, without looking fun ride....did that make sense? lol

Yes, that did make sense. :lol:

Raging Bull - Best first drop in the park. Smoothest. Most Comforable. I could go on, but then I'd be a bigot. :wink:

Batman - Most intense.

Superman - Craziest inversion

V2 - Gives the most adrenaline. Awesome launch.

Deja Vu - Most perplexing and wild layout.

Viper - Best Airtime! :P

AE - Great view, a natural classic.

Iron Wolf - Best head-banger. (For you rock stars out there. :wink: )

Demon - Cool effects and sounds.

Whizzer - Best zig-zagger.

.....and I'm spent. :lol:

Basically the whole ride? I can agree with that! But back row back spike with no holding brake is the best (penny trick can add to the effect)

Whizzer - close encounters with trees & the flow of the ride, no apparent elements like on the Batman
Viper - airtime, and you don't get nervous going up the lift hill
Raging Bull - definately the first drop
Demon - airtime on the first drop and the first loop, and definately the tunnel
Deja Vu - haven't been on it (mad -> :( even more mad -> :evil: )
American Eagle - the first drop and the drops after the helix
Iron Wolf - drop and vertical loop
Batman - inline spin and heartline spin
P.S. - I do think I'll like the new yellow color, but it won't work with my Gotham City Plan!
V2 - haven't been on it yet
Superman - pretzel loop

I know this is kind of not the topic, but what I don't like about each ride:

Whizzer - the first drop is slow and not steep at all, but then again, we are talking about a family coaster
Viper - lateral G's (top of the second hill, when you turn around)
Raging Bull - when it ends!!
Demon - corkscrew
Deja Vu - :?:
American Eagle - how shaky it is, but the retracking of the helix did help
Iron Wolf - corkscrew
Batman - corkscrew, and it's a short ride
V2 - haven't been on it yet
Superman - too short of a ride, not intense after the pretzel, but still very fun because its very different from any other coaster
