Never was a big fan of rollercoasters.

There's this one thing I loved at La Ronde.. You're in a tiny seat that's opened on top and you're not attached in any way whatsoever. It starts spinning pretty fast (typical spinning attraction there), but then it rises up really high into the air, to a point where you get this superb view of nearly the entire island of montreal and the small islands around it, and then your car thingy starts tilting sideways.. and it keeps going and going until you're at a point where you're tilted DOWNWARDS (and remember, you're not attached in any way). The only thing keeping you from falling down to your death is the force of gravity, keeping you bound to your seat.

Sooo much fun. Rode it at night.
That one and Medusa are my favorites.

I used to live in Southern California, about 45 minutes from Six Flags Magic Mountain. I moved away the year after they opened Riddler's Revenge, which was definately a favorite. I also greatly enjoyed Superman. Colossus is the best wooden roller coaster I've ever ridden, but I have a story to tell about Psyclone. As a prize for the honor roll students in middle school, we got to go to Magic Mountain (they called it a "science day." Gave us a piece of paper to calculate g's and all sorts of things). In the middle of the day, Psyclone was completely empty, so two of my friends and I rode it half a dozen times. We'd get off the ride, run back to the entrance, and ride again. Good times.

Mr. Freeze in St. Louis is also pretty good, but the rest of the coasters aren't so great. One thing I'd like to do sometime is take a 2-3 week long tour of theme parks throughout the United States, sampling as many roller coasters as possible.

Hell's yea, MBeggar! The Nitro has been my one and only love for years!! And yer right.... at night is the best. I look forward to Kingdom Ka this season.... Tallest and Fastest in the -- what?? THE WORLD!!!! Oh, I'll die a happy man....

Medusa and Scream Machine are also on my list.

Scream, at Magic Mountain is so awesome. Since it's in the back of the park, there's practically no line in the morning, and not much of a line in the evening compared to some of the other rides. Man, we went on that like 5 times.

I take it you folks have not been to Cedar Point...

There's one that goes backwards at Canada's Wonderland is my favourite. I think it's called "The Bat" It's short but exhilarating

Sadly no.

I envy you crazy americans with your crazy lollercoasters.

If I remember correctly, you and I both live about an hour away from there. These guys dont know what they're missing.

WTF is a loller coaster?

I have a six flags-great america thats pretty cool. I like top gun:



But i really enjoy riding the giant dipper at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, it's one of the oldest roller coaster in north america that is still standing:


The beach is right behind it

Montu in Busch Gardens Tampa is pretty fun, but nothing in terms of intensity to what is being shown in this thread.

Yep.

Is it better to ride a roller coaster backwards than foward? *shrug*

alpengeist,

I personally found the Royal Canadian Mine Buster much more fun. It's something about wood roller coasters that gets me.

Also, that one.. Nightmares (Not a roller coaster, but still). Did you go on that? Hilarious seeing the faces of the people across from you XD

Universal Studios: Orlando's Dueling Dragons was insane. The Hulk wasn't bad either.

Cedar Point has quite a few good ones also, haven't been there in a while, so I can't remember any names. Although, I do remember something called the "Millenium" (spelling?). That one was FAST.

I lurv roller coasters.
