What Coasters Have Awesome Lighting?

The year magnum opened it had hands down the coolest lights ever. Anyone remember those strobe lights that would race up and down the track? Those were my favorite.

Does power tower still change colors this year? I don't think it did when i went, but i could be wrong.

Just can't live in that negative way... Make way for the positive Day

I'm assuming you want to know about lighting on CP coasters, but I think the coolest lighting of any coaster is probably Goliath at SF Holland. That coaster is absolutely beautiful at night. If you want to see pics, go to rcdb.com.

I agree that has to be one of the best lights on a coaster EV-AR!

back to CP coaster lighting, I always loved Bluestreaks Cheesey lights they are simple but cool.

Well, while we're on the subject of non CP coasters at night, look at this one, crazy Japanese.

Um thats a standard spaghetti(sp) coaster, Flight of Fear has that same track layout, but again it is still a sool ride with exagerated support system.

If beating old people is wrong, i don't want to be right! hehe

hey mf and wter, on that last pick of power tower, you can see the lights are red white and blue, it has the red and white one on next to each other and the rest of the tower is blue

Rode Top Thrill Dragster opening day, but chicked out on Wicked Twister, and will never live it down

Bholcomb, are you basing your statement about MF's lift hill "occasionally" lighting up from CP.com's banner?!? The last time I was at the park was last June, and it was awesome back then. Not only did it frequently have multiple colors on the lift hill, sometimes it would flicker black and white, which was also cool. Here are some links:

Maybe they should call Millennium Force "Rainbow Brite" instead.....j/k

I love Millenium Forces lights!!!

Phillip, maybe you just have an eye problem.

Actually I have 20/15 vision which is better than most. It looks to me that MF's lights are dim compared to TTD, Power Tower, and Wicked Twister.

I don't think they are any less intense than the other two rides. If you drive by MF's lift when it's lit it looks almost as if the supports themselves are made up of neon lights. I think there may be a difference in perception from a far because there is less surface area on MF's supports versus Dragster's or Wicked Twister's.

...and the most anticipated event of summer 2003 is...

The Matrix: Reloaded!

Millennium Forces bright and colorful lights take the cake in my opinion. Mean Streak's lights are amazing as well. That's just an awesome looking coaster. Dragster's lights aren't bad, just very, very bright.

That's Ridiculous™

Does ne1 have good pics of TDD at night? Please post links!

Sorry but IMO TTD's lighting is not that great I still like Mean Streak's and MF's lighting a lot better.

I think lighting is a very important part of a ride at night. Though at times I think it would be fun to ride some coasters in total darkness! Anyway... It sounds like Cedar Point has awesome lighting on their rides and I can not wait til I am there June 16th and 17th! Anyone els know if they are going to be there?

My Dream: When I die.... I want to die on a coaster at Valleyfair or Cedar Point!

I'm pretty sure I saw PT changing to yellow occasionally this year...but maybe I'm crazy.

I would have to say that Millennium Force has the best lights out of all the rest of the rides. I love the fact that the colors changes and the have so many modes that they can be set to its out of this world.

MF= 52 rides
2002 MF crew, Cad Car crew, and Mean Streak crew

I would have to say that Millennium Force has the best lighting, even though I have not seen the Top Thrill Dragsters yet. B @ TTD in 03 ;)
