Fave roller coasters ever!

Sisterplum · #1 05-14-2001, 02:01 PM

Kay I'm inspired from the Fave Disney topic! I want to know what your fave roller coasters/thrill rides are of all time....and where they are! Someday I hope to go on all the top coasters! Here's my list:
1. Dueling Dragons-Universal Studios Orlando, Florida. This is the greatest coaster alive!
2. Montu-Busch Gardens Tampa, Florida. Also amazing!
3. Mr. Freeze-Six Flags over Texas Arlington, Texas. So amazing and scary!
4. Drop Zone-Canada's Wonderland Vaughan, Ontario. This ride scared the crap outta me. I'm terrified of heights and when I was at the top of it I could see the CN tower...which was over 50 km away!!!!!!!! Eeeek!
5. Texas Giant-Six Flags over Texas Arlington, Texas. The longest and best wooden coaster around!
6. The Incredible Hulk Coaster-Universal Studios Orlando, Florida. So great!!!!

So what's your faves?! List 'em all!

I'm a roller coster junkie, however I haven't been to that many theme parks. So, because of that limited experience I'd have to say thus far, my favorite roller coster ride is the Mamba at World's of Fun in Kansas City and the Batman Ride at Six Flags Saint Louis, MO. I wanted to go on the Mr. Freeze Ride but everyone I was with was chickensh--. Oh Well...maybe sometime soon.

Even though its been a while since I've been there but Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio has the best roller coasters....some of my favorites are:

Magnum(has a 100 foot drop)
Gemini(race against another roller coaster)
Demon Drop(sort of like tower of terror at MGM)
There is another one but I forgot the name of it........I plan on going when I go to visit my mom in Detroit...I'm sure they have a ton of new roller coasters now.....

The best coasters ever get better as they get older...the Jackrabbit and the Thunderbolt at Kennywood in Pittsburgh. Everything else sucks.

The best for me was straddling the roof of my car at 70 miles an hour. IT was more fun and much more dangerous than your average rollercoaster ride . . . stupid too but it was a good story:

James,
LOL! That is funny...but also crazy!

These coasters all sound sweet! I'm gonna have to do tons of travelling soon!

Hey sisterplum!

Yeah i got two you forgot on your list, and they are by far the best.
You know when some carnivals have little shows in like parking lots and places of the sort, well most have the kiddie ride the catapiller, man by far the best ride, only if they learned how to slow them down more, wow that 10mph is killing me, i love feeling the wind blow through my mop of hair.

The other you'll only get but remember matt's car and the big hill, woooooooohhooooo, oh crap there goes my hat!!!!!

Talk to ya later sis
