 This is the most fun ride on earth! Its at a theme park about 3 miles from me, and its called the Terror-riser. For 5 minutes, you get tuned upside-down, and round and round, and for about 5 seconds in the middle, your completely upside-down XD Tis enjoyable  I also like the UFO, but don't go on it too much. I went on 5 times, and my stomach got stuck to the back of me ^^ Or so it felt  What theme parky things do you all like? |

*shudder* I generally hate big scary rides. I've been on one roller coaster in my life. It was okay, but I'm easily scared and afraid of heights, so.... |

I used to be terrified but my friend drug me on the rockin rollar coaster down in Florida. Then I visited Cedar Point with my physics class and Greg and I rode every ride there. We even got the Raptor four times, the Mantis and Millinium Force twice. Can't wait till we go again this spring so I can ride that new one, ya know, the one that is now the tallest and fastest in the world... It'll probably replace the MF as my favorite then. |

I have a confession, I have never been on a roller coaster. Yikes! I love roller coasters I used to be a little scared of them, but then we went to Six flags. When I saw the Superman, all the other roller coasters seemed wimpy. A year later though, I went on the Superman about 4 times ;D Fun! Have any of you people been on The Wild Mouse in Hershy Park? Now that roller coaster was Scary! |

Has anyone been to Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana? It isn't a legendary park by any means, but pretty cool. One of there *two* roller coasters is supposedly the top wooden coaster in the US, but I thought the other one (ranked #5) was better...it was called "The Legend". The #1 one (supposedly...) was called "The Raven". They were both pretty cool, but "The Legend" kicks ass! There are four tunnels, it goes right over a lake, and right when you think you're about to pull into the station at a mile a minute (literally, since it would be 60 mph) when the brakes stop you suddenly without warning. There, you can look at everyone in line...we went on it about 15 times (more or less) and my fave part was looking down at a little kid and acting like it was the freakiest thing ever. I know, I'm so cruel...
But how could you not have been on a coaster? Trust me, you HAVE to. It is SO MUCH FUN! And you HAVE to put your hands in the air--the whole time--it's the best! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! ;D

I couldn't put my hands in the air for the Millinium Force. The drop was unreal! Basically, they shoot you up that hill pretty fast, but when you get the top the car in front of you just vanishes. The track is so steep that you can't see the hill you're on, just the bottom. It's such an andrenaline rush.

I love roller coasters, they're great. ^_^
My favorite one that I've riden was The Hulk at Island of Adventure in Orlando. It was a three hour wait e_e but well worth it. ^_^

I'm a little bit wimpy: I don't like roller coasters. But what I DO like is those pendelum rides: you know, the ones where you fall back and forth? The funny thing is that I used to hate them more than roller coasters. But then I tried closing my eyes and just totally relaxing whole riding it. The sensation was AMAZING. I was experiencing weightlessness (well, relative weightlesness at any rate, which is all you ever really feel, even in outer space. But I'm not going to start talking about my physics lesson. ) for two seconds at a time. It felt like flying! |

You know, I'm the opposite in a way...I like swingy rides, but I just CAN'T go on the end. I would DIE to go on the MF, but I won't go on the end of the swingy ride...*shudder* Maybe second to end, but not end... |

I LURV the Mamba! It's one of the tallest rides on Earth, located in Worlds of Fun, a theme park in Missouri. You all the way up to the top ((205 feet in the air)) and stay there, looking at the whole park. When your used to sitting up there, all of a sudden...
WHOOSH!!!
Down you go! Almost a vertical drop, going around 75 M.P.H., and then up another hill, down, cuve, sharpe turn, the pillers are so low you can almost touch them, and then it slows a little around these hills that take your picture, and then you go on another curve that slows down, and then it checks the tires, and then parks so other people can get on. The Timberwolf is awesome too! It's all made out of wood! First, after you get on--
Loytta: Jessie, please! STOP!

Its called the Sky Flyer I think |

All roller coasters rock! ;D I remember when I saw the preview for X on the discovery channel, I went down to Six Flags Magic Mountain and waited in line for almost 2 days just to ride that sucker!  I'm a hard core rollercoaster rider, I'm going to lie, but when I got off that baby I puked! I haven't puked because of a roller coaster in 14 years. You should come to Cali Rishiy, you would have a blast! ;D |
