Hitman's Top Coaster Page | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is the Hitman and I love rollercoasters! I've ridden over 80 coasters in the Eastern United States (and Las Vegas) and I even work at an amusement park during the summer. I have also been a member of the American Coaster Enthuastists since 1996. Here is a list of my favorite wood and steel coasters. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Wooden Top Ten | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10. Racer - Kennywood Park, West Mifflin, Pennsylvania - One of the last remaining continuous circut racing coasters. Good airtime in the back seats, especially on the last hill. 9. Comet - Hersheypark, Hershey, Pennsylvania - Lively L-shaped out and back ride and good airtime. 8. Phoenix - Knoebel's, Elysburg, Pennsylvania - Great airtime over numerous bunnyhops. 7. Rebel Yell/Racer - Paramount's Kings Dominion, Richmond, Virginia/ Paramount's Kings Island, Cincinnati, Ohio - Good airtime on both and when you're going backwards you can't see it coming! 6. Grizzly - Paramount's Kings Dominion, Richmond, Virginia - After the first drop and turn combo, the ride breaks out and becomes very fast and powerful. 5. The Villian - Six Flags Worlds of Adventure, Aurora, Ohio - Amazing power and airtime for a medium sized coaster. Great first drop and a solid ride all the way through. 4. Twister - Knoebel's, Elysburg, Pennsylvania - Excellent twister. Awesome drops and turns. Great double helix. 3. Thunderbolt - Kennywood Park, West Mifflin, Pennsylvania - Very unique. Great layout, killer lateral g's, nice drops, good airtime on several hills. 2. Wildcat - Hersheypark, Hershey, Pennsylvania - An amazing ride. Great turns and surprising airtime. 1. The Beast - Paramount's Kings Island, Cincinnati, Ohio - Back seat gives great out of control ride. Good airtime on the first hill. Very long ride. Helix finale is absoutly amazing, the best single wood coaster element I have ever experienced! Even better at night. |

Steel Top Ten | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10. Desperado - Buffalo Bill's Casino, Primm, Nevada - Long, powerful ride with great first drop. 9. X-Flight - Six Flags Worlds of Adventure, Aurora, Ohio - Unique flying coaster. The flying sensation is awesome! 8. Raptor - Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio - Excellent inversions on this inverted coaster. 7. Alpengeist - Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Williamsburg, Virginia - Tall, fast inverted coaster. Great inversions and a very disorenting ride. Excellent in the front seat. 6. Apollo's Chariot - Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Williamsburg, Virginia - Great out and back coaster. Good airtime, surprising final drop. 5. Magnum XL-200 - Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio - The original hypercoaster. Still a great ride with great drops and airtime throughout. 4. Superman: Ride of Steel - Six Flags Darien Lake, Darien Center, New York - Steep and airtime filled first drop. Powerful airtime throughout. 3. Montu - Busch Gardens Tampa, Tampa, Florida - Powerful inverted coaster. Egyptian themed, complete with below grade trenches that add greatly to the ride. 2. Phantom's Revenge - Kennywood Park, West Mifflin, Pennsylvania - Second drop throught the Thunderbolt is incredible. Short but with insane airtime and incredibly intense pacing. 1. Millennium Force - Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio - First drop angled at 80 degrees is the best anywhere. Fast with overbanked turns, good pacing, and some airtime. Amazing ride!! |
