I think King Cobra is the Best Togo Stand-Up.
I have yet to be on any stand ups but from my family they say King Cobra is best

I've now been on five of the B&M stand up coasters.

Riddler is my favorite. It would be perfect if the turn between the two corkscrews was more interesting.

Georgia Scorcher has the best consistency of any stand up layout (no dead spots). The first drop has good air time in the back row. In some ways it's a little better than Riddler, the stand up aspect works very well on this ride. It's unfortunate it's probably the last stand up coaster ever built since B&M really did a good job with this one.

Iron Wolf was OK, not as bad as its reputation suggests. I hope it's put together well at its new home in Maryland.

Mantis was bad, I don't think B&M calculated the curves correctly.

Vortex in California was the worst B&M I've been on and the only one I've ridden that I think should be scrapped.

I'd also vote to scrap the stand up at Kings Dominion, but since they just gave it a new paint job and a fancy sign I guess it will continue torturing riders for years to come. At least I-305 is my favorite coaster I've been on.

I hate stand ups. Why cant they just install seats??? There is a great feeling in sitting down after a long wait for a coaster. With stand ups you cant do that. And they give very hurtful leg pain. And the restraints moving up and down to get to a right place makes the loading time worse than normal coasters.

From great reviews, I thought that Chang would have no problem going to Great Adventure. It is interesting that on Theme Park Insider they voted it a low 7/10.

My home park Great America has one of the first stand-ups in the world Vortex. I've ridden it a few times though I just can't "stand it" anymore.

If you want to ride a rough stand-up not on this list, I would reccomend you to go in the front (doesn't matter which seat) and stick your head as far out as possible from the first drop to brakes. It helps a lot.

Remember to not bend your knees, stand-up straight to have a better experience.

The Green Lantern was ok, not nearly as intense as other coasters. Standing was cool at first and then my legs were in severe pain and I couldn't wait for the ride to be over. Is it just this stand up ride that causes this? Other people on the ride had the same painful experience as I did. It would have been ok if not for the pain. By the way SFGA now has a stand up coaster. There are too many excellent coasters there to waste your time on this one.
