There are few woodies that I can think of off hand that I would call unique: Son of Beast, and the future Flying Turns, ThunderBolt and I'll say Hades because of the action before the lift hill. Fly through stations, tunnels, covered helixes are unique elements but that alone doesn't make it a unique coaster.

As far as Steel: X, Incredible Hulk, DD, Sheikra (for now for US enthusiasts), Storm Runner, Wild Mouse at Idlewild

A lot of themed rides give a unique experience like Rock and roller Coaster at MGM, also terrain coasters like Boulder Dash give a unique experience.

to this day, riding the beast in the dark in early april is the most unique coaster experience ive ever had. that was a many years ago, before the paramount alterations. i don't know about these days.

still, the beast was very unique when it was built, and i'm pretty sure there still isn't anything comparable.

also, i've never been to magic mountain (i was in LA last summer, i'm kicking myself for not just biting the bullet and braving the teenaged ruffians), but the concept of x is very unique and very impressive. the fact that it ever got made is impressive in itself.

Might not be a coaster, but at night, riding Splash Mountain at WDW is fun. Coming out into the cold night air and knowing your are about to get even colder is fun.
Twister and Phoenix are fun in the dark, as are Antique Cars.
Steel Force is great too.

'06 Season @ Knoebels WILL BE GREAT.
New coaster, new bathrooms, new greatness.

lol, yeah I know what you mean. Im guessing the one of the unique coaster experieces will have to be Flying Turns after I ride it, same with Sheikra but as for now Id say Iron Dragon at CP was pretty unique to me.
