crazy monkey Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 what is your favorite roller coaster? what is it like? and what amusement park is it at? Mine is El Toro. it is the biggest wooden roller coaster in the world (correct me if im wrong.) the first drop is huge and goes straight down. Then theres a bunch of other drops throughout the ride. This roller coaster is found at Six Flags Great Adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Diva Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I used to love the demon ride at Australia's Wonderland (but it's since been shut down) and they had the old wooden beast ride that was fantastic too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimii Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I've never been to an amusement park other than this little one in Branson, Missouri so I dunno.. haha The one I like there is called 'Wild Fire'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephé Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm sort of.....scared of roller coasters. D: I've only been to one once, and that's Rainbows End in Auckland. I closed my eyes the whole way. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstream Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I've been on it, but I think the Kingda Ka would be the best roller coaster ever. It's the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world. You can find it in the Six Flags in New Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazngurl Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 honestly, i like roller coasters but once i get on them i get soooo scared! hehe. i would hold on to the bar thing REALLY tight and then i'd close my eyes. its hard to look haha. but i luvv 'em.. strangely haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I've only been on one roller coaster before and it was a kiddy dragon one at the fair. So it's my first time, obviously, and my friend sits on the inner side so she can "feel all the turns". The guy comes up to strap us in, says nothing. He goes to the car ahead of us and says to the kid sitting in my seating position (beside the 'door' - there was no door, it's just cut out lol) that "oh you're by the door... don't fall out" So I'm there like... DUDE GET ME OUT OF HERE, because I could picture myself flying right out onto the hot pavement... So the ride starts and 30 seconds later the kid in front of me flies out of his seat onto the hot pavement. Broke his wrist but no more roller coasters for this girl lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy monkey Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 o my gosh! thats horrible! ive never really seen anyone getting hurt on a roller coaster (or ride) just test dummies. by the way, i got a pic of El Toro: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstream Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Yeah, and the big tall green roller coaster in the back is the Kingda Ka :yes: Definitely one beast of a roller coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy monkey Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 my friend went on kingda ka she kept her eyes open on the drop and said it looked like they would crash into the cars in the parking lot. after that i decided id pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimii Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Unstream you would never catch me dead or alive on that roller coaster.. Oh my gosh that is way too high! D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy monkey Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 same here. its the straight up and down thing that freaks me out x_x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffany Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 OMG. The big green one. I'm terrified of heights, so that ride would give me a heart attack D: I can't get on anything that would drop or go up really fast. I just can't do it. My favorite ride is Borg Assimilator (renamed to Nighthawk) from Carowinds, North Carolina. It's kinda like any ordinary ride, except you're laying down on your back.

Mimii Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Ohh riding on your back eh? That would leave me feeling slightly helpless, which might be the point. I would try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffany Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 It's a crazy ride. Like most of the time, it'll flip over and you'll either be facing the ground or water XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 That sounds like it will be playing with peoples fear of falling out of a roller coaster. I liked the riddler at six flags in cali. I like the kind where your feet are dangling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qtpie6108 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm not big on roller coasters, motion sickness and heights make it hard to enjoy them. My favorite is The Mine Train at Six Flags St. Louis (its kinda a kiddy roller coaster lol) and then I've been on the Batman there and it wasn't bad cause it only last about 1 minute and I closed my eyes the whole time. The Boss isn't too bad, better than the Screaming Eagle (that one actually jumps off its track at points :bigeyed: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy monkey Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 there also is a mine train at six flags in new jersey, its ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindydragon Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I've been on it, but I think the Kingda Ka would be the best roller coaster ever. It's the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world. You can find it in the Six Flags in New Jersey. ^gasping for air^ That's insane! I know I'd have to be nuts to ride it. Or someone would have to knock me out cold to get me on it. I'm the world's biggest roller coaster chicken. :sad01_anim: Actually I have a fear of all things that could collapse catastrophically (cat walks, suspended bridges, cable cars, etc) Wouldn't it figure my favorite amysement ride is the Merry-Go-round. How safe can ya get? CLL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Cat Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 My favorite is without a doubt Expedition Everest, located in the Disney in Florida. The first time I got off, I could barely walk xD Going backwards in the dark really throws you off. By the third time you've ridden it, it's much easier to handle ;3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali Cat Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 The first part of Expedition Everest isn't bad; just a few twists at a lower speed. Then you start the climb, which you can see in the picture xD Inside the mountain, it's really dark, so you can't see what's coming; this is still the easy part though. When you come out of the tunnel in the mountain, it stops at a broken track. That's when you go backwards through the dark. This part really throws you off; I suggest closing your eyes xD Eventually it sets itself back in the normal direction, and it's just a regular roller coaster from there ^_^ The end has a medium-sized drop, but it's not too bad. After the first ride, your legs will feel like jelly ;P It gets better the second and third time though. I'd definitely recommend it ^^ Don't get freaked out by it your first time though.
