milst1 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 I was looking at Life Magazine's website and saw this slideshow they have: http://www.life.com/image/ugc1000282/in-gallery/27462/worlds-10-tallest-roller-coasters I think it was posted within the last week but apologies if it's old news. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I've ridden 7 of the 10. (whoops, actually 8). Anyway, worth a glance. -Martin
ghost007jas Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 I've been on three... Even if Superman was included my number would remain at three because it would bump Goliath off the list!
astroworldfan1 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 So I guess Superman:The Escape isn't a coaster. Neither is Dragster! -Tatum
viking86 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Only been on one, but its the biggest of them all so Im happy! Yngve "although I would have been even more happy if I could ride the 9 others aswell" Oestbye
atem122 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 1 (Goliath) 2 if S:tE counts, and 3 if you count both sides! My friend has been on Kingda Ka twice though...lucky her
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Been on 2 (Kingda Ka and Millie), and seen 2 more (Titan and Dragster).
coolcalicoaster Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 So I guess Superman:The Escape isn't a coaster. I don't think it is at all, since it just goes halfway up the tower and falls backwards. It has never came close to getting to the top of that tower. Thats my opinion on why I don't think it be on that list. Kingda Ka and Dragster both go up and over the highest point and they are full circuit coasters.
astroworldfan1 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 ^ Didn't Superman go very close to the top when it first opened? -Tatum
Jew Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 8/10 for me. Could have been all 10 after this summer if Fuji-Q didn't have the worst operations in the world.
coolcalicoaster Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 ^^I went a few years after it opened and I didn't think it ever came close. Maybe Robb or some of the others that rode it opening year can give some input on that. Even in the videos from the opening year it looked like it "maybe" got 3/4's the way up.
X2coasterfreak Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Yes! I have only been on one. And that is Goliath yay!!
redfoot12 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 I've only been on 1 as well--Kingda Ka. Will have at least one more after the summer's done and I go on the Texas trip.
gisco Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 6 out of 10. 3 of the 4 I'm missing are in the US. I really need to start riding more coasters here.
FeelTheFORCE Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I've been on 4/10. Goliath Millennium Force Top Thrill Dragster Kingda Ka I've also been on Superman: The Escape.
RCFreak Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Four going off that list, five adding S:TE at SFMM and Tower of Terror at Dreamnworld (again knocking Goliath off the list).
packfanlv Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I have been on 7/10. It should be 9, but we decided not to go to Fuji Q at the last minute because we were tired and didn't feel like dealing with the park. Oh well!
scooterdoug Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I'm quite pleased to say that I have been on 7/10. I have not been on Silver Star, SD2K, or Titan. I see that I am very lucky, having been able to get on the big three (multiple times, to boot!) at Fuji-Q. I was able to add my 7th (Kingda Ka) last week. Glad they got it up and running while I was there! -Doug
christianscoasters Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Only been on Goliath I've also been on S:TE ... If that counts.
