Hell yes. I love roller coasters! Their intense and fun. I've been to like every roller coaster in six flags, Busche Gardens, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Sea World. They are soo much fun. I always think that ima fall off the ride everytime i get on it. but once it takes off. I forget about it all and yell WOOOO!!!! lol

I love them the first time I ever went on I was super scared,
I kept making up excuses so that I wouldn't have to go on.

Space Mountain was ok, i would of liked it better if they lit up the rails
Superman is frickin scary, if you don't tuck your head downin the big drop you can lose it, its happeened!
My favorite is mind eraser in six flags, it has the most g-force.

Sadly i can barely fit in those because of my broad shoulders, i have permanent ridges in my shoulder blades.

Bump bump bump I guess.

Since the last go in the thread I went on a few roller coasters and other rides, mainly Thorpe Park. Good times aside from the Saw ride leaving me a bit punch drunk after riding it too many times in a row (there was nobody else wanting to go on it so the attendants sent us round many times in a row).

Quite a few with a slight dislike for them.

For those that are not anything and everything what are your cut offs?

Big drops, fast, in the dark, gets you wet, backwards, upside down, corkscrews, arms and legs enclosed?

Back on topic so to speak.
That looks like an interesting park Daku93, Brühl/Cologne is a bit far out of my way for most of things I would visit Germany for but I might see about doing it from Belgium or the Netherlands if I find myself there for a while, though it is not so much of a detour for a Nürburgring trip.

I usually go to Cedar Point every year, a few weeks ago I rode the Gatekeeper for the first time. That and Top Thrill Dragster tie for my favorite coaster.

Yes, it is a really cool park. However it is very small compared to other parks because the people living close to it do not want it to become bigger :(
That's why they can't really build big roller coasters but they invest a lot of time and money into the theming of their attractions.
Next year they will open "Chiapas" a new water ride, which from what they said is their most expensive project ever.
It was supposed to open this year but they had some technical issues and decided to open it next year because it's somewhat stupid to open a ride with water in autumn. But from what you can see already it looks very promising.

Also another one of my favorites that I don't know if you can really call it roller coaster is the "Power Builder" (I think it's called Hero Factory now) in Legoland Denmark. It is an industry robot with 2 seats where the tools normally would be. At first you go to a touchscreen where you can choose what movements you want it to do. You then get a Chipcard you need to take with you. When you arrive at the ride you hand over the card and the robot knows what movements you programmed. I really annoyed that because you could go on there many times and have lots of different experiences.
Well, forget the last part. I wanted to search for a video and while doing so I read that they changed it so you can't program it yourself anymore :/ You just get to choose between intensities 1 to 5. That really sucks...

I actually do. This summer was actually the first time I rode on an actual roller coaster. I always get the damn feeling that I'm so freaking scared, but when I ride on it officially, I have so much fun.

My favorite so far is Medusa from Six Flags. It was one of the best. At first glance, it seems all twisty and scary and crap like that, but when u ride it, its another story. All those twists and crazy loops and turns are actually spaced out nicely in intervals that let you enjoy the ride, not make your stomach go sick on you. Definitely my favorite.

(BTW, the dark knight coaster sucked really bad.)

Six flags great adventure? You from the tri-state area or somewhere near it?

I'm quite a fan of Medusa (now bizzarro) and kingda ka, both at six flags great adventure.

The Batman and Robin coaster there is also the first upside down one I've ever been on. Love it.

    It could get banned from PSN but you can change your ID I think?

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
