I heard somewhere that Maverick at Cedar Point was the first terrain coaster. I know thats not true because it was made in 2007 and there were countless others before that(pretty much every coaster C C mentioned). Unless of course cedar point has a new definition for a terrain coaster. I also enjoy these types, my favorites are Maverick, Loch Ness Monster, and Millennium Force. (And apollo if that counts).

I love terrain coasters they are so unique to each park. My personal favorites are Steel Force and Hydra at Dorney Park, Storm Runner at Hersheypark, and all the coasters at Kennywood since they are all terrain coasters.

Hailing from Kennywood territory, I grew up thinking terrain coasters were the norm … Pippen, Jack Rabbit, Racer, Thunderbolt, Steel Phantom/Phantom’s Revenge. I remember locals acting very confused when the Laser Loop appeared alongside the parking lot. “Where are the drops?,” they would ask. “What fun could it be with no hills.” Maybe I fell in love with The Beast because it was the first non-Kennywood terrain coaster I encountered. I enjoy it the most late at night when it is screaming through the back woods with no lights except the ones on the top of the lift hills.
