Alright, sorry if this has been done but I searched and didn't see anything.

Post your all time favorite Roller Coaster / Thrill Ride along with a video of it and some info/stats.

I'd say my favorite would have to be Son of Beast at Kings Island, preferably before they removed the loop.

While I find it stunning that anyone's favorite ride could ever be Son of Beast, I did enjoy that ride more than most. I am sorry for your loss, as it appears that it may be closed forever.

The Voyage at Holiday World.

That's a badass ride right there!

Since Jonathan 'stole' mine I will post some interesting/unique rides I have been on. These aren't in my top tier favorites, but all are very good. As usual I will break the rules and post more than one video.

First is Lisebergbanan, at Liseberg in Sweden. It's a very large 'mine train' style ride with some great airtime.

Second is Dragons Fury at Chessington World of Adventures in England, by far the best spinning coaster EVER. I supply backing vocals in this video.

Last in this video, that I actually filmed, is a Chance Skydiver. You control the ride experience, so it will be as tame or intense as you like. I like intense.

The first ride that came to mind for me was the Skyscraper rides. A few summers ago they had one at Summerfest in Milwaukee when I was there. By far one of the most intense rides I've ever been on! At about 150ft. tall the ride rotates forwards, then backwards at 42mph, all while the gondola you are in rotates 360 degrees.

I actually got light-headed watching that Skydiver clip.....

Whoever posted the first Voyage POV was pretty much guaranteed to steal the thunder from several of us, as I'm sure that's the fave for quite a few here.

So I'll go with my fave steel:

You were expecting Millennium Force? NOT

My favorite woodie is still Hades at Mt Olympus Theme Park. I've ridden well over 100 wooden coasters and this was the first one that actually intimidated me each and every ride.

Avalanche, down the road a ways, was surprisingly quirky and terribly fun also. I posted these YouTube clips from my 2005 visit.

When I came out of that tunnel I had a different perspective on the amusement industry than when I went in. The only other rides that have shocked me so much the first time I rode them were Thunderhead and The Voyage. Maybe El Toro...

[derek_lentz]

My favorite steel right now is Bizarro SFNE. Of course, that is also the only coaster over 200 ft that I have ridden either.

hummm...dont really have a favorite ride off the top of my head, that can be justified with a video. I like rides like Haunted Mansion, Revenge of the Mummy, Amazing Adventures of Spiderman...rides like that.

I dont travel much but when I went to Las Vegas this summer I rode this "looping hyper"

This is the only thing I have rode that is over 200 feet so...

Sir, consider me and likely everyone else on this board absolutely STUNNED.
