Roller Coaster

All the Florida ones and most of the UK ones. Faces being The Hulk, Tower of Terror and Duelling Dragons.

None of these mamby pamby Alton Towers coasters thanks :D
 
I've done, The Montu, Kumba, Sheikra, Python, Scorpian, Kraken, Gwazi, loads more in florida which i have probably forgotten about. The rest are in the UK, shockwave, the big one and every other coaster at the pleasure beach, unfortunately still never been to Alton Towers and its only 30 mins away!!
 
Only been to UK theme parks, so all the roller coasters at Alton Towers and one at Drayton Manor (I forget the name though) :)
 
I have done all the big ones in the UK and a few in America - Orlando parks, Busch Gardens etc, and Six Flags in St Louis.

my favourite, which thinking about it, im not too sure is an actual rollercoaster, is the X-Scream on top on the Stratosphere in Las Vegas.
Theres nothing like being fired off a 1000ft+ building and hanging over the edge. :D :D

BTW guys, Stealth at Thorpe Park is a miniature version of Kingda Ka.

After the train has been locked and checked, it slowly advances out of the station to the launch area. The train goes through a switch track which allows 4 trains on two tracks to load simultaneously. Once the train is in position, the hydraulic launch mechanism rockets the train from 0 to 128 miles per hour (204.8 km/h) in 3.3 seconds. At the end of the launch track, the train climbs the main tower, twisting 90 degrees to the left before reaching a height of 456 feet (139 m). The train then descends 418 feet (127 m) straight down through a 270-degree spiral, usually reaching 120+ mph at the bottom of the drop. Finally, the train climbs the second, 129 foot hill, producing a moment of weightlessness before being smoothly brought to a stop by the magnetic brakes.

I've done my stairs loads of times after ten pints. You think the Big One is scary? You have no idea.

Gwazi, Kraken and Duelling Dragons were awesome. Gave the Hulk a miss as the queues were waaaaaay too long. That holiday brings back some memories with my old missus :) Also went on one which you sat in a bunch of '57 Chevys and it accelerated you up the first slope like Hulk, that was great. And been on the largest wooden coaster in the world (alledgedly) at 6 Flags in Ohio. That one made me sick though, it was a really rough bumpy ride :eek:
