That looks fantastic. was it painful?
[edit-- this is the best one I have ever been on-- It's The Mamba at Worlds of Fun in KC, MO It's not particularly tall, but it is fast.]

That one looks pretty intense, and as such, I think I would revel in that one.
Where was that at?
I've been on some of the coasters at King's Island. The Beast (was the longest all-wooden rollercoaster, I think?), some somethingorother, and another somethingorother that was all indoors that was :up: except for the literal two-hour wait.
man, i haven't been on a good roller coaster in years!
This is my favorite roller coaster so far ("Hulk" in Orlando, Florida):

Crossblades, what is that roller coaster called and where is it located? I am very interested in getting on it.
SCARY T_T
I don't like roller coasters ^^
Is that roller coaster the Kingda Ka at Six Flags? I love roller coasters, but not extreme one like that. :p
C'mon, that's a total copycat of Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point. :rolleyes2
My favorite rollercoster was destroyed. It was Shock Wave at Six Flag Great America. I loved that blue death trap. 3 huge loops followed by a few corkscrews a double loop and some more corkscrews. It was truely awesome.
my faveorite coastr (that I have been on) is the movie world superman escape.
lovely. 200km in 2 seconds <3
My favourite rollercoaster is Nemesis Inferno at Thorpe Park.

My favorite is X at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

The first drop you go upsidedown, and then face down. I thought I was going to pee everywhere.
The only thing similar to that in the Uk is Stealth although it's only 200ft high however it's still fast i think its 0-80 in 2 seconds:eek: Quite possibly the best ride i have been on.
This is a great video i found, its of Top Thrill Dragster last year when it failed to go over the tophat and the passengers were stranded for 10-15 mins waiting for an engineer to push it over the edge! Scary stuff.

More pictures
And more
I didn't dare go on the Tenessee Tornado, though.
I went on this one, it was excellent!Quote:

Loch Ness Monster in Busch Gardens is excellent.
I do however think the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster in Disney World is a blasty blast. :D

Oblivion at Alton Towers is awesome, that pictures just before you get dropped vitically down...its scary ^^
http://www.coastersandmore.de/rides/...09.780x560.jpg
Thats Air at Alton Towers too ^^ I was on it when it broke down on its 2nd day :D It was fun ^^
Is that wild thing at Valley Fair? If so - it is about an hour from where I live. Looks like the old wooden coaster to the right as well. Looks a bit to 'wild for me though' :(Quote:

They're talking about closing Six Flags here because all the youngsters are getting in fights and doing drugs. :(

http://www.danheller.com/images/Unit...dragster-2.jpg
The Dragster @ Cedar Point is scary but...
http://www.themeparks.com/library/al...b_magnum09.jpg
The Magnum @ Cedar Point is the best ride ever.
The Apollo's Chariot in Busch Garden's Virginia is awesome, too.
Ive been on this one
Twice :D It sends you into a black hole
Its so scary at the top of the drop, as it stops you just leaning over, and you can see the hole and people stood around and its like O_O
Oh and this one too
http://www.orlandofun.de/nemesis/nemesispans.jpg
Both at Alton Towers
Oh yeah, that one. I planned to get on that one for a while, but the lines are so long for King Da Ka and Superman that I was just like forget it I'll do it later.Quote:

Like this one? http://www.painetworks.com/photos/fa/fa0979.JPG
http://www.jubileeministry.org/JA/Spaceshot3'05.jpg
I wasn't there at that time, but I did ride that one several times in a row when at space camp two years ago >:]
the top thrill dragster is pretty stupid. It is 17 seconds wasted. Millenium Force is by far superior.
http://community.iexplore.com/photos...tos/mforce.jpg
eeee I love rollercoasters!
http://rcdb.com/pictures/picmax/para...d/top-gun4.jpg
That's the last one I've been on. Top Gun in Canada's Wonderland.

Roller coasters all the way!!! XD I LOOOOVE the andrenaline rush you get :P It's exciting.
Too bad when I went to Cedar Point the other day, my friend Michelle refused to go on any serious rides, like Magnum or Millenium Force -_-; Fear of heights, she says...
Disaster Transport made me have to pee o.o;
At Busch Gardens here in Tampa, they have this coaster called Shiekra. They call it a dive coaster. You go up over 200 feet, then they freeze you mid air facing down, then drop you straight down. I won't be riding it. Ever...
This one is the coolest. I haven't been on it yet. I was in line and it was my turn to ride it and the ride broke. They had to spend the rest of the day fixing it. Just my luck
http://www.coastergallery.com/2001/Poltergeist3.jpg
There was this pretty wacky one in I think Thorpe Park which said it had the most loops or something, in the world. I cannot remember. :(
Man that ride sure is a blast! I also love Nemesis at Alton Towers!Quote:

Only been on one rollercoaster, on two different occasions. The first time I was with my family, and the second was a school trip. I only went on it the second time, because I was being begged by some girls from the class to go with them, otherwise none of them would have the courage to go on ._.
Both times, I felt like my insides had been rearranged. Considering how small the coaster is compared to the ones you guys posted, I cant imagine being on them

Oh how could I forget Rita Queen Of Speed? ;__;
http://www.themeparks-uk.com/files/official_rita_1.jpg
"rocketing from 0 to 100 kph in 2.8 Seconds. This breathtaking ride pulls an incredible G-force of 4.7 on launch and continues at an average speed of 60 kph!"
I went on it with my friend, and she bought the picture, oh the shame ;_;. I was stunned xD More or less the same facial expression as that man.

Cool, if you do, go to Austin! That's where me, Ultima Cloud, and Pure Aerisbeauty7 live. :DQuote:

The Kraken at Sea world is HIGHLY under rated.

And this ride is probably the most barf-baggy ride I've seen. Watch the video, that one also has a part seen from a passenger's perspective.
Theres only one rollercoaster i've been on and that was the High Roller http://www.coaster-net.com/pics/vall...asterclint.jpg
And my dad and I almost went on http://casabrian.com/images/medium/2...W_3536_med.jpg that one but we both chickened out about 5 people ahead of us...

I went to Thorpe Park last Tuesday, im ashamed to have to go on the rides there, all pale in comparison to coasters at Cedar Point. I went on Stealth which is like that ride, it was 205 ft I believe. I had to queue for hours ! It was good but I want something more extreme. The best ride in the UK is probably Oblivian, but its over to quick !
Im booking to go to Cedar Point in Christmas for next year, Cant friggin wait !
Thats collosus, that rides needs to close down, it has rusted badly and dosent have the smooth feel of other coasters, bashes your head around, I felt sore coming off that one...Quote:
