Favorite Launch, LAUNCH

POLL POLL POLL!

Hydraualic, Xcelerator kicks you in the butt.

My favorite is hydraulic,the launch on dragster and storm runner is awesome. :)

I like the Air Launch even though I have never been on one but the seem to have the fastest accelration.

I like 2, and since you didnt have my Absolute Favorite, Drop-Weight-Launch, I go with my close 2nd, LIM, next would of course be Hydro Launch... WOW!!

Hydralic on the dragster kicks butt but on FOF i think it is better.

I think they all feel the same to me, despite me knowing they all have different acceleration rates. My absolute fav. launching ride for the weirdest reason is FOF. Lol, the loud noise from the LIM's kicking in just gets my adrenalin going for some reason aha :lol: .

You guys are just all PKI peeps and need to expand your horizons. PKI isnt the best in everything if anything beside the kids area.

gotta commend you FoF'96, You have brains, most of the people on this forum havent spoken many good words about anywhere else, when in fact, there are many parks, that uh, DONT have safety brakes every 3 feet on their headline attractions...

Can you tell I dont like trims?
I hate that Voyage will have them, but It is the only way to build it...


Now back to Launches, I must say the LIM Launchers by Premier (FoF) happen to be sweet, Loud and exciting, fast and thrilling, but there is something about the weight drop tower's fog horn blasting loud, then launching at the acceleration of 9.81 m/(s*s)... hmm, anyone wanna take a guess as to why 9.81??

Yea you forgot the 9.8 m/s squared.

The IJST launch is fun but the LIMs are no way near the best. The best have got to be the Air Launced.

I did not say that FOF is my fav launching ride because of this being a PKI fansite. I have been on Dragster, Wicket Twister, Hulk, Rockin Rollercoaster, Storm Runner, and finally all the launching rides at PKI. Dragster is fast but not powerful imo. Hulk didn't do anything for me either. Wicked Twister felt wicked fast one time then felt slower the second time for some reason. The rest were all ok. FOF seemed fast from the start and for some reason, during the 8 times I rode it wen I went there, seemed to speed up even more after the camera took our picture. Add that to a sweet and scary sounding beginning of when the train is launched and you have a winner in my book for the best launch.

Well:

Well: I never really said the LIMs were the best, if you recall, I said Weight drop is best..
I like LIM for the noise, and Hydro for the speed capabilities...

And yeah, FoF is a nice, Launch, but I still must say I like Greezed Lightnin's even better, there is something about the rattle and honking, plus I've been on it with a Fault... :lol:

oh yeah, FoF'96...
::Throws Dictionary::

The 2 best launch coasters I have been on are Storm Runner and Powderkeg.

SR was cool but the OTSRs "cut" into you when you get airtime.

PK kicks ass for the first part that it gets to the lifthill and just sucks.

It takes something called MONEYto go to other parks which I try to do every spring/summer.

I LOVE LIM LAUNCHERS AND... Air Compressed. yeah I agree Storm Runner rules :blink:

The best launches I've had were
Greased' Lightnin'/Tidle Wave-Paramounts Great America
Hypersonic XLC-PKD (you dont even feel yourself accerlate here, its just stoped then going.)
Top Thrill Dragster Was sweet.
Volcano was by far the best LIM launch I have ever been on. That coaster was awesome.
