Rollercoasters: You like?

[kevenka]

Feels like you're flying...I didn't accept freefalling until this year -.-
and I am 17...but yea, Rollercoaster is a good feeling

(I mainly rode it b/c all my friends were; would've been lame to be the only person not riding)

I hate the waiting for rollercoasters. The lines are the worst when they are like 3 hours long and they show you videos of people screaming their heads off haha.
I've been on two rides people have died on.. which can't be good..

Pff I've been on waaay more rides that people have died on

Same. Always take my chances.


In fact, life is incomplete without rollercoasters.


BTW people for coaster fears, you should know that there is a type of therapy to force your mind to love rollercoasters.

I'm definitely planning a trip to Cedar Point in the near future. It's about an 8 hour drive from here and both the wife and I love rollercoasters!

The Space Mountain in Disneyland Paris is very good, but I'd put Rock'n Rollercoaster with Aerosmith above it. Ride-wise, they are about the same, but the fact that RnR BLASTS Aerosmith in your ears as you fly through the loops makes it the winner. The Space Mountains in the US are awful compared to both of them.

whats this about aerosmith





btw myuusmeow, i dont have anymore info, sorry. try talking to a local counselor about it

Ride through on Rock'n Rollercoaster with Aerosmith. Yes, it's in the dark. The start of the whole thing is 0-60 in like 2.1 seconds or something. Great ride!

You'll love it. Just be sure to get there by 10:00 AM and run to the Millennium Force line. Knocking that bad boy out early will give you more time to enjoy the 16 other coasters. Once you're ready to leave at closing, say goodbye by hopping in line once more.

The wife and I are talking about going on Labor Day. We used to live in the area, but now we are down in Texas. We were going to visit relatives and conveniently head on over to Cedar Point.

[R2DJ]

I agree with most people here. The line just kills the excitement.

Back to the topic. I like rollercoasters. I wanna go to Thorpe Park this summer so I can get rid of stress. X: No Way Out and Stealth (not really a rollercoaster but it's damn hiGH!!!!)

My favorite roller coaster is the one in Animal kindom, Disney world called Expedition Everest

The only bad part about being in the front seat is getting hit in the face by bugs.

I will spare you the motorbike stories and about the stag beetles the other night then (they hurt).

I love roller coasters as well. Actually drop slides, rope slides, flumes and everything like that

Favourite: probably pepsi max (Blackpool pleasure beach, UK) about 12 years ago. I was just big enough to ride and by happy coincidence we got a front row seat (no choice in the matter back then). At the time it was the biggest in the world (although it seems only by a month or so).

Others: whatever carnival/circus/funfair appears in or somewhere within reasonable driving distance of my hometown when I was there I generally went on. Alas I have yet to go on the ones in the other UK amusement parks (despite living but a short train ride away most of the time) and perhaps more to my shame in all the times I found myself in mainland/eastern Europe with nothing but time and money to burn.

I quite enjoyed one in Seattle about 8 years ago (no idea about the name but it was in the shadow of the needle), it was small but really threw me about which was nice.

Disneyland: I went on one that was in the dark in the same trip I did the one in Seattle and whatever else was there at the time. There is a good chance that I appeared at the other big California parks as well.
There was one somewhere in northern France about 6 years ago, no idea where or what is was called though.

And because I mentioned flumes there was a great one in New Mexico somewhere at a proper water park. My hearing is useless in general but the pressures involved meant I heard little but "static" for about 7 minutes.

Recently: It seems it has been several years since I last did anything that would be considered a rollercoaster or similar (stupid things with rope, "powered" roundabouts, cars/bikes and trampolines do not count in this case).
