    Default Coasters, as in the ones you ride

    I absolutely adore roller coasters.

    I love riding them, researching them, and played Rollercoaster Tycoon for seven hours straight just designing them.

    Roller coasters!

    Never been too much of a fan, but Matt dragged me on to every rollercoaster in Disneyland Paris, and I didn't hate it! It was a little bit of alright, really. Definitely not first choice of attraction at a theme park, but I'll go on them.

    We went to Six Flags in Jersey last year and got to ride exactly 4 roller coasters before giving up and going home. The lines got hellaciously long very quickly


    Kingda Ka was closed for whatever reason.

    I wanna go this year but if we do, we're getting flash passes for sure.

    I am very selective about the roller coasters I ride. 30-45 minutes after riding coasters must be devoted to violently puking in trash cans around the amusement park.

    So I watched a video of Kingda Ka, and the speed is neat, but I'm more of a twisty, coiled pile of metal roller coaster person.

    Fortunately there's plenty of those too.

    Oh also King's Island ....

    We used to go there every summer and it was awesome. The Beast is definitely a noteworthy coaster. And the Vortex and King Cobra (the standing up one).

    I want to go again so bad. I haven't been there in many many years .... And they even have 1 weekend a month when the park is open until MIDNIGHT and you get a free pass to the water park with the purchase of regular tickets... Though I'm not sure if they're still doing that.

    It's always closed because it is a death trap and gets stuck on the top everyday. The only time it's open is in the beginning of the day, so ride it first if you dare.

    I did flash pass last year and it was well worth it. We rode every single coaster, some twice. Well worth the money. We didn't get a chance to ride King Da Ka because once we got to it it was closed. It was open earlier in the day with technical issues. Awaiting the inevitable closing on that ride.

    ^ oooooo Thanks for the tip!

    We got there like 30 minutes before opening, but yeah. It was literal hell by like noon as far as lines went..

    After only getting to ride 4 coasters, like I said, we gave up and left- at 4 p.m. We'd also gone on a Saturday which is pretty much against my religion, but those were the only days off from school my bf had at the time. So. Yeah.

    I LOVE roller coasters!
    My home park is Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL.
    I am the type of person who wants to go there more than once in a year.
    I usually end up just riding the coasters (front seat or back) and high thrill rides.
