hyper coster- coaster over 200 ft. tall
giga coaster- coaster over 300 ft. tall
out and back- A type of coaster layout that goes out in one direction, turns around, and then comes back to the station. The "out" and "back" parts are usually parallel to each other. I'll try to post a picture if I can later. Fairly common on wooden coasters. It's one of the older types of track layouts.

the scarier the better...

if anyone ever gets a chance....try the Kingda Ka at 6 Flags in Jersey...you won't regret it.....and take fresh underwear...

You know your coaster is too high when the FAA has STROBE LIGHTS placed on it so PLANES won't hit it!

Oh yeah, Kinda Ka is awesome. I went with my friends this past summer, and I was the only one who kept my eyes open during the ride. Kinda Ka and Superman were my favorites.

ETA: I totally want to go to Disney again. I've only been once (when I was about 12 maybe).

That's actually why Expedition Everest at Disney's Animal Kingdom is 199 feet tall. Any taller, and there would have to be a big blinking light on top of the mountain.

What's really hilarious is that Everest is actually the tallest "mountain" in the state!

Did you ride it while you were there? What theme parks did you hit? Just curious.

I just went to Aquatica, the new waterpark Sea World just built. I have to say, for any one planning a visit to the area, it really is excellent and worth the trip. I think it's probably the best waterpark in the area for families with little kids.

All of our kids are coaster freaks and LOVE Cedar Point. Too bad none of us live anywhere close anymore.
