    Pink Grin Roller Coasters

    Are great.

    Tilt-a-Whirl is my favorite non-roller-coaster ride, though.

    Where are my amusement park ride junkies at

    Oooh we have something similar to that, I think it's called Gravitron? "Finnish Fling" is a much better name.

    I love roller coasters, but I hate it when the gravitational forces gives me that weird elevator feeling in my balls.

    Having said that, Six Flags Great America is a fun place.

    The Houston roller coasters got turned into a parking lot when I was twelve.

    I had both Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Kings Dominion within 45 minutes of my house. It was pretty awesome to be a coaster buff where I'm from. My favorite memories were the laps we'd run on older rides on slow, bad weather tuesdays. The whole park would be empty and we'd just stay in the same seats on The Grizzly, an old wooden coaster that's kinda away from the main drag at Kings Dominion. We made it 15 times in a row one day without leaving our seats. We also had a full loop swinging ship ride, they called it the Beserker. It was right by the exit and rarely had a line, so we used to each each an ice cream cone and smash a funnel cake, then ride it over and over to see who puked first.

    Here in the UK, Alton Towers has some pretty awesome rides. It's only about 90 minutes drive from my house as well.

    If we're talking very local then the park down the road has some pretty awesome spring horses...

    Six Flags Magic Mountain is pretty much the best thing ever. I love the new roller coasters they've built in the last few years.

    Did anyone else get thrown off by Parker posting right after Bubbaforever? Then again I suppose the way their avatars work off each other makes sense for this kind of thread.

    I would change my Avatar but I'm too attached to the awesome Sig that Kaiserdragon designed for me.
