Best coaster ride when raining

Postby verticalzero » Fri Sep 02, 2005 12:58 pm

I've been on a few coasters when it has been raining, went to Six Flags Holland this year and hit the woodie "Robin Hood", it started to rain and the operator said " this coaster flys in the wet as it "gains 6 seconds".

Was he right, the train rocketed down the 1st drop and through the rest of the course, the "airtime" improved as well :D :D

I had 6 rides on the woodie in the rain, most people left after 3 laps and prob thought I was mad riding in the rain.

Frutilicious!

I found that Kumba is really enjoyable in the rain... Dueling Dragons isn't when it's pouring out with the weather being in the high 50's... that sucked! Haha.

My only ride on Millennium Force was in the rain. It was not a very pleasant experience having those raindrops pounding me in the face at 90+ miles per hour. I could not even open my eyes, because of the raindrops stabbing me in the face. I was in too much pain to enjoy the ride, which was pretty disappointing. I really hope that I can ride MF someday without the painful weather conditions :D .

BAtMan KnightFlight GL. That ride was awesome in a downpour. The clouds opened up right as we crested the lift. Marvelous experience.

I'm from SoCal, feel bad for me!

Knobel's Twister is insane in the rain.

Ive only ridden one coaster in the rain, and that was DD Fire.. NEVER AGAIN!! We got needled by the rain, and on top of that all the water that collected on top of the train poured down our backs as soon as we hit the brake run! A crappy experience.

Now I will ride a train right after a good rain, thats when they are extra fun.

Any medium size twister (wood) is pretty much insane in the rain.

I love RH when is't wet, but when it's dry I don't really like it.

My personal favorite to ride in the rain is Tonnerre de Zeus. RH doesn't even come close to that!

OMG! A TALKING MUFFIN!

I loved the Matterhorn in the rain.

the water in the car was sloshing around, and solking everyone. It was great!
