This thing called the Finnish Fling. You go inside this hollowed out cylinder, and the wall is felt. You then press yourself against the wall. It starts spinning faster and faster, until the floor bottoms out, and you're about 8 feet in the air restrained by nothing but the force of gravity and motion.
So coooooool.

Indoor rollercoaster, pitch black inside sans for a few lights. I thought it was the coolest thing ever when I was nine.
NO
i'm going to cry :aimcry:
King's Island mothra fockres. Diamondback is the trout.
Yeah they tore it down to make room for GateKeeper. Also the Space Spiral came down too. They picked a weird way to tear it down. They lined the inside with some kind of explosives and made it implode and fall over in one piece. I'm surprised the Spiral didn't fall onto anything important!WHATThey just tore that ride down, Jowy.Disaster Transport!

Also Disaster Transport was originally an outside coaster (a bobsled one) until 1990 when they put it in that building.
I can't handle rides much anymore after what happened in 2005, but these are my favorite ones:
Wipeout

They used to have Wipeout at about 4 of the county fairs here. Now the only county fair that has it anymore is the Allen County Fair (near where Vyk lives, remember him?) and any time I go I make sure to ride it, even though I always get off of it feeling dizzy now.
Quasar

Last time I rode this was 3 months ago at the state fair. I don't understand why I can still handle this ride, because it's so fast. I rode it twice and didn't feel sick at all either time, and the second time I was on the ride for 7 minutes!
Hurricane

This ride I can't really handle anymore. I always thought the sound it made when the seats drop was interesting; it's because the center of the tower builds up compressed air, which pushes the weight in the center of the ride down, which causes the seats to go up. When a button is pushed the air is released which is where that "cracking" sound comes from. The operator has to control the compressed air manually.
I hate when they bleed the compressed air tank; it is the LOUDEST and most annoying sound ever. Like a million fireworks only 20 times worse. Seriously, I heard this happen once and thought we were being attacked by terrorists.
Xenogears is the tragic story of how your whole life can take a crappy turn, just because you happened to see a lady in a wedding dress before her wedding.
This boy is crackin' up, this boy has broken down

Teacups or similar (makes my dad dizzy). Zipper, any coaster that shoots backwards, terror tower, Disney's Space Mountain, and others...
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
Oh gurl.

That is the only coaster to ever scare me. Oh, and the reason it all starts out upside down? Is because you spend almost the entire ride facing the ground.
Signature by rubah. I think.
I didn't read the thread.
Six Flags is pretty much the best thing ever.
This one is my all-time favorite coaster.

I'm all about Star Tours.

Toy Story is fun too, though it's mostly a game that moves you around so it doesn't entirely count.

I got motion sick on Star Tours, even though you sit still in a seat the entire time.
Aw jeah I love all the rides. Literally all of them. I can't remember ever being on a ride I didn't love.
King's Island has Firehawk, which is basically the same thing, and it terrified me. I felt like I was gonna fall out the whole time. I do pretty well on roller coasters but that was too much for me.Oh gurl.
