Favorite Roller Coaster / Attraction in the United States

[David S.]

From a pure thrills point of view, none of the approximately 350 coasters I've ridden, wood or steel, in about 68 parks can come even close to topping the Voyage at Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana.

There is literally over 20 seconds of airtime on this ride, both in the front and back of the train. This ride is extremely long, the speed and intensity never let up, and you are constantly floating up out of your seat - sometimes while being slammed into the side of the car!

The numerous tunnels and woodsy setting add so much to the experience. The night rides I've had on Voyage in the pitch blackness come closer to coaster nirvana than anything I've ever experienced. I'd have to give Voyage at least an 11 on a scale of 1-10!

Wow! That was awesome. And it ran for the full 3 minutes and 25 seconds!! Wooden coasters rule!!

Voyage is excellent, and Thunderbird is pretty awesome too, combining a launch with the new B&M wingrider configuration. I just wish Holiday World had the money for more elaborate themeing.

It's gotten progressively rougher with age, but I've got to sing the praises of Dollywood's Mystery Mine. It's the first Eurofighter installed in the United States and is still ahead of its time as a true dark ride/coaster hybrid, even more so than Space Mountain or Rock n Rollercoaster in that it periodically stops for short show scenes. Combine this with a highly themed queue, an interactive animatronic mascot, and original music by Dolly herself.

I absolutely can't wait for Disney to build something in this format.

Haven't ridden it, but the most ambitious Eurofighter/dark ride hybrid I know of is The Curse of Novgorod, in Germany, which is much longer, features a LIM launch and projected ghost effects.
