Well Layed-Out Rides?

[Cole]

Im intrested in knowing what you guys think are the best designed, themed, and layed out rides?
I really like Nitro, and El Toro, ive heard Maverick is great too. What do you think?

Raging Bull
Batman: The Ride
Bizzarro
Terminator Salvation
Superman: Ride of Steel

The Beast and Whizzer came to my mind.

[david]

Best: Whizzer: the twists and turns are magnificent.
Worst: Demon: Look a loop, another, a tunnel! DEADLY CORCKSCREWS TO!

I think Maverick is my favorite. I just like it because it is so well spaced out and on top of it themed very well gives you a good wild western feeling.

Boulder Dash, It's too good at night in the pitch black forest

[Cole]

David: yes whizzer is a fantastic layed out ride

[Demon_07]

Best: Whizzer: the twists and turns are magnificent.
Worst: Demon: Look a loop, another, a tunnel! DEADLY CORCKSCREWS TO!

Trust me, there are worse layouts than Demon and with much less theme.

Demon was used to show-off "new" corkscrew element.It was very innovative at the time

Demon > Any other 70's-80's Arrow Looping coaster on theme alone.

As a total package, Dueling Dragons (soon to be Dragons Challenge) is easily the top coaster for me. The queue is massive with great theming during it. The ride layout also works perfect for the ride design as well.

Nemesis at Alton Towers comes to mind. When I think of a well layed out ride, I think about it interacting with the land around it, not so much the actual layout.

And Ride experience, I take great pleasure in riding Demon, while as some of the other arrow's Ive been on really are just way to rough and uncomfortable, Demon is the best one in my opinion.

Kinda like the worlds tallest midget.

For layout though it's a tough call. I think one of the best layouts I've been on is probably Expedition GeForce

Runners up, or at least other great ones are Boulderdash, Voyage, Raven, Thunderhead.

Yes, Demon has a little bit of theming, but that definitely doesn't make up for how bad of a ride it is! By the time I go through the light tunnel I just want to get off that ride.

Voyage
Bizzaro SFNE
Goliath SFOG
T Express
Kraken

Those are the first 5 that came to mind

[zjohn1988]

Maverick would have to be my #1 for overall theming, Expedition Everest is my #2 pick, but Nemesis isn't far behind at #3!

[tp41190]

Boulder Dash. Still my number one coaster.
Tremors
Ghostrider
Boss
Desperado

You are stepping on toes man. Demon is a great ride with decent pacing and layout and great theming. I rather like the theming and layout compared to say raging bull or suf.... Yes suf is a better, more entertaining ride, but it wouldn't be if it wasn't a flyer. And yes bull is higher and faster... but both lack the soul of eagle, whizzer, demon, batman or shockwave. I like the batman theme and layout. And I think raging bull theming an layout are weak, iron wolf has no theme but a nice layout in a tiny footprint.


To sum it up... Shockwave had the best pace and layout but no theme, bull is lame and has no theme, suf has a ok pacing and layout for a flyer, but under done theme. Other than batman and tdk most rides there have very little theme, and were just shoehorned in where they fit.

Stepping on toes??

Heres what came to my mind from readin your replies & my own thoughts in no order however...

Maverick- The layout is superb. I find it to be perfect in every way even without the heartline roll. Its transitions are a contant change, its all over the place, non stop speed, airtime is orgasmic, it has the scariest drop in the world & just in general has good flow. Very surprising.

Bizarro(SFNE)- Im kind of obsessed with this bad boy. The layout again, is near perfect. The ONLY thing i dont like is its loss of speed on the tall S-curve before the "helix of fire" haha. But from the tunnels, mist, airtime, crazy&random on board audio, goin through buildings, LED shields, fire, to even colors...its no wonder it won again for no.1

El Toro- Scary & unexpected. AIRTIME. its change in direction is most important to speed. Everythings very tight yet very well put together.

KingDa Ka- love height & speed, but yes its kind of a "gimmick"...its theming & area win it over.

Beast- I really didnt get it at first it just made me think, WTH?! but with its aggressive speed & its layout bein deep into the woods, this ride will win you over especially at night. It is unlike anything at night. I love my comic book tee, "is this ride really haunted?" haha. When i lived in ohio, the locals especially knew of its "rumors". over well themed ride in the sense of suspense & that alone.
