Best single car coasters?

[Bowser]

Inspired by yesterday’s developments at Paultons, I came to the realisation that I generally don’t like coasters with a single car.

At a push, Anubis at Plopsaland and Spinball at AT are tolerable and have fun moments but I’m certainly in no rush to ever re-ride and will happily skip them.

Are there any examples that people really enjoy? And what is it that makes them less enjoyable?

Wild Mouse, BPB. An amazing coaster when it was running.

I also enjoy Spinball, Dragons Fury, Tarantula, Winjas, Oblivion, Valkyria, Bob at Efteling (RIP), Cobra at Paultons, Hasenhorn, Thor's Hammer, Lynet, the 2 Chance Toboggans I've done, Dawson Duel, Divertical, Speed at Energylandia, Atlantica SuperSplash, G'sente Sau, Fury, Jurassic River, Gold Rush (Family Park) and Luge (Parc de la Vallee)

Ah you reminded me of Baron 1898, that definitely tops my list.

I'm not exactly sure I can define precisely where the dividing line is between car and train (are Eurofighters single cars or 2 row trains? What about Gerst Infinity coasters with just 2 rows?). Wherever it is, I wouldn't put any dive coasters in that category - it's a 2 or 3 row train.

BPB's mouse is a clear winner. Wild Mouse XXL a candidate amongst operating rides.

Can't believe I missed WMXXL

Baron1898 being the poorest Dive I've done

Dead Mouse at Blackpool.
Less enjoyable now due to being dead.

Dragons Fury at Chessington.

Wild Mouse at BPB of course, I also think Vilda Musen at Gröna Lund is pretty fantastic

Pretty much any Gerst Bob (that I’ve done), besides Tiki Waka.

Matterhorn Bobsleds @ Disney and Space Mountain.

They both use trains of multiple cars don't they, not single cars?

I think you're right - 2x 3 single seat

I've never understood the love for that ride. It's just a bog standard mouse with an extra two drops added at the start.

Mind you, steel mice in general are very meh to me. Sure, Rattlesnake was new and exciting back when it opened, but once you've done one, you've done them all.
I always thought the ride system is better suited to a fully themed indoor coaster. The tight turns lend themselves to ghost train style reveals.
Has anyone done that Joker themed one (I forget where) and is it any good?

The Matterhorn was originally individual bobsled cars, if I remember correctly they expanded it into trains of two bobsleds per when they themed the inside of the mountain. There are some great pictures at Yesterland, the doubled capacity is obviously a no-brainer but I have to say the aesthetic worked a bit better when the cars were solo.

Interesting thread, not sure I've been on any single car coasters other than the classic wild mice (wild mouses?).
