I would have 2 coasters. (I'm what I call myself an equalist, one who likes both wood and steel the same) I would have a Gravity Group Woodie about 150 or so feet tall, and the Shuriken Coaster (I know it doesn't exist yet. It is one of the prototype coasters I have in my head. I will not release any specs of what it can do at all because I am serious of attempting to make that, and several other types of coasters and flats when I'm older) It would be about 145 feet tall. But if you want an already existing coatser, I would vote for a 225 foot tall intamin inverting rocket coaster.

I'll agree with what Carowinds said, and a massive giga with a record breaking length.

I would have a 180ft GG woodie with massive amounts of air-time, plenty of twisting, and head-choppers galore.

Dueling LIM Bowl with at least 10 inversions on each side of track spread out through-out the coaster so all the inversions are not at the beginning. At least 7000' length per coaster. At least -1.2g's of airtime and more then 5g's and a helix with at least 2 lateral g's. 2 zero g rolls and an inside top hat on each track. Multidemensional, designed by Stengel and built by Intamin and B&M (they each build one track, or work together for two super tracks). Tunnels, head choppers, built in a dome (the "knot" is to be built in the dome). Over 80 mph, at least 150' high at one point of the ride. Ride time over 3 minutes per track.

I would simply lock B&M and Intamin in a room together with lots of paper and the brief of make a launched floorless coaster with a launch of at least 60mph in as quick as time as possible and then some sort of great layout with head choppers etc. Then a second launch which leads straight into a top hat of about 200 foot, don't know what sort of speed you would need for that.

If it was a wooden coaster, just build the Grand National from Blackpool Pleasure Beach, simply the best wooden coaster in England!

I'll just take a B&M terrain hyper with no trims, but lots of floater/ejector airtime and overbanks. That thing would amuse me for decades.

Lots of realistic idas in this thread........

I would probably want a rocket, about 125 - 200 feet tall that begins with a 90 MPH launch into a top hat, one that is like Xcelerator's or the one at Thorpe Park, then it would shoot back down and go through a series of inversions and hills, like a mix of a mega coaster and mega looper from Intamin. It would have huge airtime right into a tight cobra roll. Stuff like that. That would be awesome.

For something more realistic, just a very small, short version of ^that. Kindof like Kanonen.

I thought originally this thread might be realistic coasters you would like to see at your park of choice. So I'll do both realistic and fantasy coasters.

[B]Realistic coaster[/b]-Floorless at SFGAm.
A 160-170ft floorless, top speed 65-7mph and 7 or 8 inversions. I don't have an exact mindset of inversions or order but I'd like this or something like it. Start off with a traditional big loop and follow it up with a dive loop or some other type of loop to change the direction 90 degrees in either way. Then go into a batwing/boomerang and then an upward helix which would lead to the MCBR. Then drop into a small very forceful loop and then a zero G roll. Then have a small hill or two for a little airtime and a good tigh helix and then finish it off with the traditional interlocking corkscrews.

[B]Fantasy Coaster[/b]- This would be a (working) Intamin Rocket coaster. A huge 150mph launch (or whatever it would take to clear a...) into 550-600ft tower twisting 90 degrees, up and over and then a straight vertical drop with no twist. It would drop into an underground tunnel and out into an overbank turn sending it back in the direction of the tower. It would go into another overbanked turn near the tower but only turns back to make a 90 degree turn headed now back in the direction of the tower. It drops from the overbank into a huge 360 degree downward helix. After exiting the helix and headed back to the station, it would rise up another hill similar to Kingda Ka and back down into another underground tunnel. It comes back out of the tunnel into a bunnyhill and finally into the brakes and back to the station. I'd guess that would be somewhere around 5,000-6,000 feet of track or so.

2 PTC trains running on a 110 ft tall, 4000 ft long S&S wood built out at my property in Port Huron, MI on the 40 acres I own. It would be an out and back into the woods with a wicked turnaround, plenty of airtime, a double dip dropping underground, and a pitch stark tunneled finale upward helix beginning with a banked entry into an old barn we have. It would be dimly lit all the time and have a ton of head choppers from scythe blades and other twisted metal pieces, all very rusty.

Possibele names: Renegade (which I conceived in 97, not Hershey, so go ******* yourself choco-town), Elysian (eh-lee-zhun) Dusk, Seismic Shocker, Final Fate, or Voracity.

Millennium Force, but after the last overbanked turn it goes on a brake run, then launch track, and Kingda Ka from there. Plus it will be 600 feet.
