RNRC Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 I couldn't find a topic on this. If one already exists, would you please be able to post a link, thanks. Anyway, is there anyone else out there who still enjoys the kiddie coasters? I love the BIG rides like Kraken, Stealth and The Hulk, but I always enjoy to go on the family/kiddie coasters too. If they're REALLY kiddie coasters (as in ten feet tall and 7MPH, then I probably wouldn't ride) But if there's a ride like The Flying Unicorn at IOA Orlando, I'll make sure to ride it as small coasters (to me) have a lot of fun in them. While they don't provide big thrills they can provide a good laugh, airtime-filled bunnhops and great views (The Cliffhanger at Blackgang Chine is the smallest rollercoaster I've ever been on and yet it's one of the most amazing views over the cliffs and out to sea. Anybody else like the smaller coasters?
IceDragon Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 heh, my overly obsessive nature for The Flying Fish at Thorpe Park will return anew for the 2007 season i adore kiddie coasters, you sometimes get a great pop of airtime you wouldnt normally get from a big rollercoaster
RNRC Posted November 11, 2006 Author Posted November 11, 2006 I love "The Flying Fish". I can't believe it's only 19mph. Itfeels really fast. I think it's a cool ride. "The Cliffhanger" is only 35 feet tall and has a bit of airtime in the very back, but what makes this my favourite kiddie coaster is: the cliffs are hundreds of feet below you and way below the cliffs is the ocean. It's like a 400foot tall kiddie coaster. I never though 27mph could be so fun. However, "The Dragon" at Freshwater Bay is too small. 7 feet high and less than 8mph. That is too kiddie for me.

RNRC Posted November 12, 2006 Author Posted November 12, 2006 I'll go as long as they have big coasters too. As much as I love the kiddie ones, the big ones still come first.
FlyingScooter Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Here's my fav kid coaster. WARNING: This thing hurts adults on a regular basis. for kids, it's fine. Memphis Kiddie Park.
RNRC Posted November 13, 2006 Author Posted November 13, 2006 ^That's the kind of ride that I would have loved when I was younger.
Ryan King Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Ive actually been suprised by some of those kiddie coasters out there! I find them to be rather enjoyable at times! One of these would be "Treetops Coaster" at Oakwood! Maybe its under "Family Coaster" but I kinda see these to be the same! Some of these coasters have suprised me by being very good! -Ryan
BarryH Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 The High Speed Thrill Coaster at Knoebel's is the bestest kiddie coaster I've ever ridden!
RNRC Posted November 14, 2006 Author Posted November 14, 2006 Another classic kiddie is "The Dragon's Apprentice" at Legoland WIndsor. Although I wouldn't ride it now, it was my favourite ride as a child.
