Out of all the new coaster installations/make-overs in 2015, which one are you looking forward to the most? This also includes make-overs such as Twisted Colossus, Wicked Cyclone and Rougarou. I myself would have to say Fury 325.

With the exception of GateKeeper which just so happened to work because it was practically on the way to the SF Parks along the East Coast and Disney World this year, I don't visit parks that have new attractions. SFGAm is the only exception because it's my home park and would go there anyways. Basically, I'm saying it doesn't matter a whole lot to me.

It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle :?
Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? :roll: :P

Really wasn't asking if you were visiting, just which coasters you're most looking forward to seeing completed.

While there's a lot being built this year it looks like a very unusually weak class of coasters this year other than maybe Wicked Cyclone, so I'll go with that.

I'd prob put that in the 2 spot, but a mid ride lift always kills the flow of a ride, while the ride time is long, the time out on the course each time is quite short and doesn't really do as much as they could have with what was available.

I got that and still do. My point is just that I'm not going to a park that will have a new coaster so I don't really care if they're completed this year or not.

Fury 325 will be interesting.

I am not one to really like B&M hypers, at least none of the newer ones. Leviathan really surprised me. Although the ride is short, it packs an awesome punch. Fury 325 should do the same, however there is a chance it could not be as good as Leviathan. From the animation, it looks like it meanders aimlessly for the last half of the ride. The layout also lacks airtime hills during the first half.

I'm over the RMCs already. Wicked Cyclone looks good, but that's it. Twisted Colossus looks like it's going to be just another addition. They could have done so much with that space, but instead they just made the same ride twice. I won't hold RMC accountable for the lack of creativity on the layout, but really...how many times are you going to use the rolls/stalls? Hopefully they can come up with some other variations of rolls and bunny hills.

For me, I am really anticipating Wicked Cyclone. I really enjoy RMC's work (particularly Alan Schlike), a lot if it blows me away. And between all of RMC's coasters I've never been as shocked and excited as I am with Wicked Cyclone. To me the pace never slows up. Near the end it would but they have that awesome outside banked hill, it looks like it will provide some great ejector airtime (which I love).

I'm a little bummed with Twisted Colossus. I mean it'll be a good ride and all, but it just doesn't meet my personal standards I expect from RMC. Most likely another reason Twisted Colossus bums me out is because I went to SFMM in April. If only I waited a year, I would've been able to ride it. Yet, I rode Colossus, which is probably the most famous coaster I've ridden.

Fury 325 looks pretty sweet. Not really going into detail about it though.

I'm excited for Thunderbird. B&M's first true launched coaster. It opens up the door for more to come.

Out of all the new coasters for 2015, I'll only be able to ride Thunderbird and Rougarou. I'm excited about Rougarou too, hopefully it will make all the other lines at Cedar Point shorter. As for the actual ride, it's not one of my priorities to hit up at CP.

I think that Wicked Cyclone looks like the best new ride of 2015 because it is just nonstop action from drop to brake run. I don't see any dull moments on that ride. I hope I can ride it one of these days.

The only new 2015 ride that I will get to ride is Rougarou (though whether or not it really is a new ride is debatable). I don't think it will be the best floorless coaster out there, but it should be a fun ride.

1. Twisted Colossus
2. Wicked Cyclone
3. Thunderbird
4. Fury 325
5. Rougarou

I hope to ride Thunderbird, Colossus, and Rougarou this year, although my Magic Mt. fantasy is looking less likely.

I was shocked, Thunderbird is quite the passable ride, good even! Def better than X Flight (or any other wing coaster I've done)

But besides that, you're going to a park with 3 of the absolute best coasters on the planet along with a really damn good wing coaster. What's not to like?

Voyage may not be running good at all this year with the brakes, but even with that, it's better than 90% of the rides out there.
