Theme Park Discussion / Fantasy Roller Coaster Draft Selection Thread

Juvelen @ Djurs Sommerland

POV

talon is just a shittier patriot because its not at worlds of fun

Talon is a pretty good ride, not my favorite @ Dorney (that would be steel force) but still a great ride in its own respect, better than Hydra anyway. The interaction with the ground is great with Talon, and the front seat is absolutely wonderful, especially after dark.

+1000 points to Cocoa. Mr. Freeze(s) are extremely underrated, the launch is very intense, that inverted top hat is great, and there is HUGE artificially assisted airtime on the spike as the LIMS boost you up, all while you are facing straight down, nothing but lapbars holding you on. For it's size, its truly a "perfect" ride.

Dude, pac, that POV looks crazy good! The second launch looks epic!

I'll take what should be the highest ranked Disney coaster:

Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars

In theory it ranks 5 places higher than Expedition Everest at #94 but lacks just 1 rider to make it into the poll.

GAARRRHHHH!

So close. Stupid me missing my last pick!

Yeah you done fucked up!

Also, finally updated the OP...

mwahahahahahaha

I considered grizzly mountain way back when I chose everest. and in terms of ride layout, it does seem more interesting, but IMO the themeing and the atmosphere just doesn't compare to EE. but I haven't been on either, I could be wrong.

I would list the Expedition Everest sections of Animal Kingdom as one of my favorite themed place in any park. The buildings, the atmosphere, the details, unlike any other park, and really a standout at Disney, IMO.

I'm so behind on Disney Parks that you guys should probably ban me.

The thing I don't like about EE is that the pre-backwards portion is painfully slow, and then the transition set pieces take so long that it wrecks the pacing. Frankly, I'd rather ride btmr any day.

Whatever. Can I make some picks after the draft? There's a few good ones you guys are missing.

Matterhorn Bobsleds - Disneyland

The original EE?

Very surprised this hasn't gone yet, but I'll take it.

X Flight - Six Flags Great America

Well, looking at what Disney rides are left, I'm going to have to choose Space Mountain: Mission 2, Disneyland Paris

Matterhorn Bobsleds - Disneyland

The original EE? />

Love it!

Theoretically the 17th best coaster in the world according to Mr. Hawker.

Montaña Infinitum-La Feria Chapultepec Magico

Very surprised this hasn't gone yet, but I'll take it.

X Flight - Six Flags Great America

I was actually considering that before I selected Renegade. Felt too much like Raptor for me.

Love it!

Thanks! It was actually one of my very first rollercoasters.
