Scaparri

Umm, I don't have any off the wall ideas of prototype coasters, but more so, things I wish would happen with existing rides. Gihugic Loopers- I wish 200+ ft tall ginormous loopers (Manhattan Ex does not count. The old Steel Phantom doesn't exactly count either) would be built. I wish B&M would have followed in the foot steps of Arrow in the late 80's and the early 90's with their idea for huge looping coasters (Shockwave, GASM, Viper). I want a 230 ft tall floorless coaster! 300+ ft tall Premier Shuttles- I love Mr. Freeze. I would have like to have seen an even larger coaster of this style. Drachen Fire Remake- I wanted to ride this thing so bad. I was lucky enough to see this coaster, but not lucky enough to ride it. I visited the park the year after it closed. It was still standing at that time and it looked like a lot of fun. I would really like to see a coaster very similar to this. I loved the concept of the inversion right after the lift hill and then falling into the first drop. Brilliant. A B&M, Intamin, Premier Rides collaboration- 'Nuff said.

Acro- there is something about that ride. It is quite possibly the scariest thrill ride I've been on. Something about having the whole lower half of your body dangling and being tilted toward the ground just freaks me out. Drop Zone (PKI)- The height is just terrifying. Freefalls scare the crap outta me. Tall skycoasters- Right when you pull the cord and you take that initial nose dive before the slack in the rope ends...yeah, so scary. Flight of Fear- Ever since they removed the OTSRs, I feel so vulnerable. The supports just feel so close in the dim light. The first time I rode it with the lap bars, I was ducking toward my best friend and clutching him in terror. It was probably quite the moment because he gets pretty scared on any coaster and here is the seasoned rider gripping him for dear life. Those are the rides that consistently scrare me to death.

I'm kind of missing the correlation between the drink and Magnum Force. What does Magnum Force have to do with it? Is there a drink called Magnum Force?

I don't really have a least favorite, but I do have one that I'm most disappointed with. Call me crazy, but everytime I go back, I'm disappointed with ToT at WDW. It may sound stupid, but I miss the original program where riders heard a snap and the ride dropped a few feet. Then, another snap was heard and you fell the entire distance: end of ride. I liked that because it fit the theming perfectly. The new turboshot-esqe program maybe more thrilling, but I liked it better when it fit the theming. Plus a small detail about the theming, the ride hosts used to act like zombies pretty much. They never smiled and spoke like they were possessed. Not anymore. They all just act like your average ride op. A bit disappointing for Disney.

The park with the overall best food that I've been to is Busch Gardens Williamsburg. There are a lot of individual places at parks I really like though: Fiesta Fajitas & Fries- SFGAm LaRosa's Pizza- PKI Potato Patch- Kennywood (who doesn't love that place) Patio Pizza- Cedar Point

Well, I'd like to ride any and all, but I'm sure you mean what rides in particular so here's a semi-short a list: -X -Incredible Hulk -Dueling Dragons -S:ROS (SFNE) -Hydra -Superman Krypton Coaster -Volcano: The Blast Coaster -Any of the Beemers at BGT -Hades -California Screamin' -Ozark Wildcat -Avalanche (Timber Falls) Outside the U.S.: -Nemesis -Expedition GeForce -Kanonen -Medusa (SFM) -Daemonen -Supersonic Odyssey -Anaconda (Gold Reef City)EALLY want to ride

I think in one aspect its underrated. It's underrated, in that, not many people seem to have ridden it. However, everybody I've ever talked to that has ridden the thing absolutely love it.

That was crazy! I'm not sure what else to say. That was just really neat.

I personally love TTD. It's in about a three-tie for my favorite coaster. I understand why other people are disappointed with it though. It's all about what you look for in a coaster and what your personal opinion is on what makes a ride great. To me, it's all about what thrills me most and gives me the biggest adrenaline rush. It has a crazy fast launch, extreme height, lap bars with open trains, and a 400ft twisting drop. I personally love that drop. I wouldn't be opposed to a straight down drop, but I just enjoy the twist. Anyway, because of those features, I get an amazing adrenaline rush. One that is only matched by Millennium Force and Phantom's Revenge. To answer the original question, I was a bit nervous to ride this. Because of its height and insane speed, I was a bit intimidated, but the didn't stop me from grabbing a ride on the front seat. Simply awesome.

One of the silliest coasters I've ever seen I've actually been on. It's not that off the wall compared to some of the other rides being mentioned, but its a bit pointless to me. I'm talking about the Canyon Blaster at The Great Escape. I actually experienced it when it was Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at the now defunct Opryland USA. The first lift hill isn't even taller than the station building. You then make a couple turns just to engage in another lift hill where you go down a sluggish double helix and onto the brakes. Here are some pics taken from rcdb.com:

1. Cedar Point 2. Paramount's Kings Island 3. Six Flags Great America 4. Busch Gardens Williamsburg 5. EPCOT 6. Kennywood 7. Six Flags Over Georgia 8. Geauga Lake 9. Valleyfair! 10. Magic Kingdom

That's awesome! The gerstlauer trains take a lot of flack, but I personally really enjoy them. Plus, they are quite nice lookin' if you ask me. They definately are an upgrade from the same, boring PTC trains on most woodies.

I'm personally a fan of the White Chocolate Mocha made with soy milk...for all of us lactose intolerant folk .

Wouldn't it be better to have us pick our favorite and then drop the ride with the least votes since not all of us have been on all of these.

I collect post cards. I've been doin' it all my life. I don't even have any idea how many I have. This may sound weird, but I also collect cd albums. With the popularity internet downloading, ipods, and things of that nature, not many of my peers seem to buy cds anymore. I love to, so I've started to call it a collection. Lastly, I like to collect Indycar and Formula 1 memorabilia. I particularly like to collect pictures of myself with drivers. That might not seem like a normal collection (or a collection at all), but in a sense it is. It's a little bit of a challenge sometimes. It's a collection I can only add to but a few times a year.

I've never been to a park for the first time and been let down, but I've been pretty let down on repeat visits. I love the park, but recently I've been getting let down by Six Flags Great America. It's a great park with a nice collection of rides, but they still seem to have issues keeping the coasters operating. During my second to last visit, I arrived at the park to find that they had four coasters that we're closed. Four!! The staff has become relatively sluggish and lazy. On top of this, the park has just become incredibly busy. During my last two visits (through the week), it was almost impossible to find any coaster that didn't have an hour wait. That's for any coaster. I would say almost half we're lined out to, if not passed, the entrance. I don't want to turn anybody away. It's actually my favorite Six Flags park. I just haven't had good luck with it recently.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster- MGM Tower of Terror- MGM Test Track- Epcot

Yeah, really. Did they expect to be putting a lot of weight on this tower later on so they designed it to hold it? It's kind of freaky. But whatever! Insanity looks just that...insane. Not that I wouldn't do it .

I would go on it in a heart beat. I'm with CoasterFanatic on this...give me a buzz bar! I'd settle for a nice simple lap restraint too. I would never want an OTSR on a woodie. The idea makes me cringe.

Hey Robb, just something I'm always curious about with people, where did you go to college?

That is an admirable view. I completely agree with you. Anyway, I guess you could say I'm a loose Christian. There are a lot of things I believe, but I don't take everything to be set-in-stone historical events or facts.

Not trying to criticize or argue, but you do realize that only leaves one coaster right? I personally enjoyed the coasters and the park, but felt a severe lack in flat rides. As for my most overrated park, I'm gonna have to agree with Elissa on this one and go with Holiday World. Yeah, the park is fun and nice, but I don't think it is anywhere near what some people make it out to be. The coasters are nice, especially the Legend, but there isn't really anything unique about the rest of the rides in the park. They are all fairly generic. I think the park is also becoming a victim of its own success. It has become very successful and is now a small park with large crowds. It's becoming hard for me to enjoy the park now.

Here are a few of myself... There I am... This is one of my favorites. This was on the front page of the local newspaper. That's me celebrating and holding up Mike Freitag, the coach of our soccer team, after we destroyed Tulsa to clinch a spot in the College Cup. The team went on to win. My imitation of what I look like on rides? No, no, no...This is what college does to you.
