Hey People,

Just wandering what roller coasters you've all ridden.

Ive ridden quite a few, mainly in florida.

I've done, The Montu, Kumba, Sheikra, Python, Scorpian, Kraken (AMAZING!), Gwazi and many more.

Favourite was the Kraken at sea world, was really new when we went and was so smooth and such good fun.
 
Kingda Ka (tallest and fastest rollercoaster in the world...)

El Toro

And basically everything else at Six Flags Great Adventure NJ.

I also enjoyed The Hulk and Dueling Dragons at Universal Islands of Adventure. :)

The Hulk was immense, love the way u expect to crawl up that tube but infact your launched up it :)

The dueling dragons were alright! They were the only Loop-The-Loop rollercoasters that my sister went on, she only did the red one though, me and my bro did both.

Another great coaster is the RockinRollin Rollercoaster at Universal (I think?)

EDIT: It's at walt disney, one rid I really hated was the tower of terror, I think I left brown stains :(

Superman, ride of steel!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman:_The_Ride_of_Steel

The Sixth Flags New England one (i.e. the biggest fastest of the 3).

Plus all of the Busch gardens Tampa, Islands of adventure, Disney Orlando, Chessington, Alton Towers and Thorpe park coasters.

The ride of steel was the best.

"Superman: Ride of Steel at Six Flags New England is one of Intamin AG's creations. Superman is 208 feet tall and has a 221 foot drop into a mist filled tunnel. Superman reaches speeds of 77 mph. It features an overbanked turn, two mist filled tunnels and many drops. In 2004, Amusement Today rated Superman as the 2nd best steel coaster in the world, second to Millennium Force at Cedar Point, a gigacoaster. In 2006, AT rated Superman as the best steel coaster in the world. "
 
Need to get there, looks like they have some awesome coasters.

Spec on rocking roller coaster "The roller coaster accelerates from 0 to 57 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds and the riders experience 4 to 5 Gs as they approach the first inversion, more than an astronaut does on a space shuttle launch."

Its immensely good fun!

Mission space was also good too, not quite a roller coaster though.

did florida a month after 9/11. longest queue for any ride was 10mins, late afternoon you could just stay on the ride because it was so quiet. on the dualling dragons we managed to time getting on the front row perfectly so we were facing eachother. best park i've been to! (islands of adventure)
 
Big One, one its day its awesome, the drop is insane, its so close to the sea and the ride to the top is scary.

Alton Towers is just crap, Oblivion was ok and Nemises was too short and cramped.

This bad boy was the worst, the amount of G and feeling you where going to shoot into space, I hated it, I held on for dear life, its awesome.



Enough said, I took this right underneath, the speed you shute off from the ramp is crazy, heard it was somthing like a F 14 taking off and the bend right near the ramp is a ***** trick

I'm not far from the Cyclone on Coney Island (NY). Built in 1927 and the scariest/most painful/best thing I've ever done :)

One has never been on the big dipper or the grand national, you came off it with a bad back for life.

The Hulk, Dueling Dragons. Rock 'n' Rollercoaster (my fave...), Space Mountain, New York, New York (Vegas).....a few more as well, but they're the ones worth mentioning :cool:
 
All of the ones in the Disney parks and Seaworld (FL) So the Aerosmith Rockin Roller Coaster, SPace Mountain and Kracken (My Personal Fave)

Ive only ever been to UK theme parks apart from those above, so ive done all of the ones at Alton Towers (Spinball, Air, Nemesis etc)
 
Loved the Kraken in Sea World over in Florida.

Also loved the ones in Busch Gardens.... Much better than the ones you get over here
 
The Space Mountain at Anaheim is rubbish really boring with no scenery. I think the Florida ones the same but not been yet.

Its not really a rollercoaster, your not even straped in properly.

The Paris Space Mountain is awesome with proper inversions.
 
kraken was my first ever real roller coaster always been scared.. :D really enjoyed it but couldn't gather the bottle to go on much more...:(

done tower of terror, mission space etc. rockin roller coater was hell fast

scariest ride has to be summit plummet at blizzard beach OMG SCARY SHIZZLE!
 
Hulk is a great coaster, compact yet it has everything. My favourite though is Rock'n'Rollercoaster even though it is short. It is like you just dropped a tab of acid and someone accelerated you into space.
