| most park interactive roller coaster
what do you think is the roller coaster that goes over the park more? Like instead of terrain going out over the park. my vote would have to go tio boomerang at sfmw i mean the line goes under the ride other then that i would saygrizzly at pga there is a littlepathway with benches underneath it |

Corkscrew at Cedar Point. The corkscrews go right over the midway.

Zongaboy, that is by far the worst example you could give. Six Flags Marine World's Boomerang? There are so many better examples of "most park interactive roller coaster." [URL="http://www.coasterz.co.uk/parks/ParamountsCarowindsCharlotte/photos/photo38.jpg"]Flying Super Saturator[/URL] and [URL="http://database.thrillnetwork.com/dbgallery/photo_view.php/1394/knotts_berry_farm/silver_bullet1721.htm"]Silver Bullet[/URL] are two prime examples. And like WildFyre said, Cedar Point's [URL="http://www.rcdb.com/ig13.htm?picture=4"]Corkscrew[/URL] is famous for its corkscrew manuevers over the midway.

I really love the interaction with Phantom's Revenge and the Thunderbolt. It interacts twice and is really fun in the black of night. I do like Corkscew's interaction over the midway as well as great picture taking oppurtunity. SheiKra's water splash is a cool interaction with park guests on a hot day. edited: to reword what I meant. Katie

I like it when Kumba's Cobra Roll goes over the line for Congo River Rapids @ BGT. Its pretty cool, and interactive. I know there are more that I could think of, but Kumba was the first to pop into my head.

CoastinKatie, I don't think you got the gist of the topic.

As far as travelling over park pathways: Borg Assimilator at carowinds wins this one hands down. Its awesome when you flip over into the flying position for your first time, and the pathway is directly below you. Top Gun is also good, but dosen't travel over pathways to Borg's extent. Also, hate to break it to you guys, but carolina cyclone at carowinds does the exact same thing as corkscrew. Voting on the pure 'interactiveness' of a ride, I'd go with Flying Super Saturator or Roller Soaker.

I don't have any great examples but one that I can think of right now is Medusa at SFGAdv. The cobra roll goes right over the path leading to the ride and the Zero G roll is over the queue and very close to the station.

IMHO Goliath will be very cool with park interaction, as it will traverse: - The entry drive twice - The GA Scorcher - The walkway up the hill in the Georgia Section - The Brake run of the Scorcher - The walkway near the tram stop ... along with the lift right over the walkway as you can get pretty darn close to the bottom of the lift (including the [URL="http://rcdb.com/ig3290.htm?picture=10"]drive shaft box[/URL]) Silver Bullet looks pretty cool too, and Storm Runner is pretty sweet as well (probably my current pick). I love how it goes down into the gulch and over the paths and trees and everything else! Of course, the Setpoint rides with the water dumps and guns are the ultimate interactive coasters :cool: |

Hypersonic is built like right over the pathway. Another one would be Loch Ness Monster. If you are on the bridge over the water, the interlocking loops and first drop are both really close.

A coaster most won't think of because it is not a thrillride per se - it is almost a return to the "scenic railways" of the days of yore: Jaguar @ Knott's Berry Farm. |

Superman in Six Flags New England goes over the path way a few times.

I think you mean Thunder Dolphin at LaQua [url]http://www.rcdb.com/qs.htm?quicksearch=thunder+dolphin[/url] Not really through the city, but it does go ontop of a building and through a ferris wheel

I would have to say Corkscrew at CP, Great Bear at HP, and Superman and Rattler at SFFT, both fall the whole way off the cliff and are just awesome coasters.

From what I've been on, I'll say Silver Bullet, Loch Ness Monster, Alpengeist, and Anaconda at PKD. The underwater tunnel gets it on that one.

Many of Cedar Point's coasters are because they go over or interact with the midways or are really close to them. MF - a part of it can be seen from anywhere in the park, goes over the midway, makes use of the island in the middle of the lagoon. TTD - the launch is practically on the midway, plus there are bleachers Magnum - goes over the midway Corkscrew - obviously Raptor - goes over the midway Iron Dragon - 2nd half is really close to the midway, intertwines with Mantis Having the coasters interact with the midway adds a lot of excitement to the atmosphere, and I think that is one of the reasons Cedar Point has one of the most lively atmospheres - so many coasters interacting with the midways. Another that comes to mind immediately is Lock Ness Monster

Hmmm . . a boomerang, ok, then I'll say the Beast at PKI. How's that? Thunder Dolphin at LaQua looks pretty darn interactive to me, though how should I know since I haven't been on it. Phantom's Revenge and T-bolt, maybe, I didn't really see them that way when I rode them, but this is a pretty open ended question.

Well technically it may not interact with park guests to much.. but im just going to say that tatsu will fly by other rides alot and have you soar 140 feet over the entrace area of the park, while it may not "interact" per se it sure does take you all around the park, gives you great views and takes advantage of its location. The most interactive rollercoaster... i would say [IMG]http://pictures.rcdb.com/picmax/lotte-world/french-revolution2.jpg[/IMG] the french revoultion at Lotte world, South Korea.

the first thought that popped into my head was Jaguar at Knotts [URL="http://coasterimage.com/pictures/knottsberryfarm/jaguar.htm"]http://coasterimage.com/pictures/knottsberryfarm/jaguar.htm[/URL] I'd say Silver Bullet there and Great Bear at Hershey are very good examples as well. |

Here's one that is also very interactive. [IMG]http://pictures.rcdb.com/picmax/berjaya-times-square/supersonic-odyssey5.jpg[/IMG] It looks like a sweety themed Intamin coaster.

/\ I think your current vocabulary posession of the word "theme" should be evaluated. Just because the ride is integrated into a shopping mall doesn't make the ride themed. Or "sweetly" themed, as you put it. However, it [i]is[/i] a top contendor as "most park interactive roller coaster." - as the topic of the thread calls for. ;) |

The shopping mall is themed supersonicly, and that is what the coaster is called, Supersonic Odyessy. Therefore, it is pretty well themed. You can see a lot of the theming in the ride's other pics. (ex. ride going through lit up flower)

Thunder dolphin, It goes ontop of buildings, through a building and a ferris wheel and interacts with countless paths and rides.
