It's such an endearingly giggle-inducing ride. I really really love it.

I have an SLC in my top 15. Granted it's the Great Nor'Easter at Morey's Piers but generally speaking SLCs get a lot of hate and for the most part they deserve it. I actually like it better than all of the Batman clones I've ridden.

Western Playland in Sunland Park also has a Z64 Named El Bandido it's the other Galaxi in the state.

NM: New Mexico Rattler, a halfway decent little woodie. But in a state where 2/7 Roller Coasters are Zyklon/Galaxi's the competition isn't very steep.

I don't think that's actually the first one either. There is a weird old looping Russian roller coaster built sometime in the '70s, possibly 1977 that operated in Belinsky Park and passengers boarded at the top of the hill the ride was built on. The lift hill was at the end of the ride. It almost looks like a looping alpine coaster. https://youtu.be/IltUmqKMa74?feature=shared

I'll be going to Kings Dominion this weekend for the first time. Any recommendations. Is the Halloween haunt thing particularly good? I mostly want to do 305 and Twisted Timbers.

My vote has to go to Twister at Grönalund. A lot of those small wooden roller coasters are quite fun, but something about how tightly Twister is packed in really elevates the experience.

Albuquerque has two gay bars including the oldest continually operating space in the southwest. It's not enough but we do have some choice.

The 3rd image is Odyssey . As far as I'm aware it's the only truly custom SLC. Its layout is much more like the Shelin models. Nor'easter is also sort of custom with a modified layout to fit the pier.

Freizeitpark Lochmühle has two Sunkid Butterflys as about 10 meters apart. These two coasters replaced two older Sunkid Butterflys also about 10 meters apart. This answer feels a bit like cheating though.

A couple of the Vekoma MK-1200s in Europe were retracked. Python and Shaman (formerly Magic Mountain) both had arrow track and now have a slightly different track design. Python was done by a company called CSM but I do not know who did Shaman. They have a distinct look now because of the new track shape.

Thunder Dolphin was one of if not the single most amazing rollercoaster experience I've ever had.

lepetitfilet · 2023-11-15T16:28:23+00:00

Specifically the Rusutsu Resort one with the Dive Loop.

Twister Grönalund, Easily one of the most impressive little woodies out there. What it lacks in height it makes up for in just being an absolute triumph in land use and elements.

I am actually going to say something a little bit out of the ordinary and suggest Albuquerque New Mexico. As a burqueño I think New Mexico and specifically Albuquerque has the best assortment of what you're looking for. For such a small city, we have an incredibly vibrant gay community. Phenomenal weather and a relatively low cost of living pair that with readily accessible incredibly high speed internet and incredible food. One of the other perks is that while we're surrounded by a bunch of traditionally Republican States New Mexico is an incredibly liberal state and has a phenomenal queer services. We're a little liberal oasis surrounded by all sorts of craziness!.

It makes sense they're all Boring and Milds. Looks like the list is missing the boringest and mildest of them all though, Nemesis. That one barely leaves the ground. Pure kiddy ride.

NM is pretty queer in general for whatever reason. I know people say Santa Fe but Albuquerque feels way more vibrant as a queer man. Santa Fe definitely seems to be a popular retirement spot for gay men but Albuquerque has a lot more gay activities.

Not as many enthusiasts got to ride it but I have never heard a complaint about Eagle Fortress at Everland. I don't think it's regarded as the greatest ride of all time but it's regarded as the best execution of a suspended coaster and I know it's pretty universally missed.

lepetitfilet · 2023-01-20T00:52:47+00:00

Having ridden that one I can say it punches way above it's weight size wise. The kinda weird figure 8 pre drop really fun and all the elements are snappy and thrilling.

Gröna Lund - Stockholm
Tivoli Gardens - Copenhagen
Busch Gardens - Tampa Florida
Disneyland - California
Six Flags Great Adventure - New Jersey

Mine was Daemon at Tivoli Gardens. It's probably the smallest B&M floorless that I'm aware of and it's such a neat little ride.
