easytoremember Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I wonder why that Vekoma is so smooth. I guess that is why it is called the magical world of Disney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterboy76 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 my first coaster with inversions was right here at Six Flags St louis, back in the 80s.. we had a looping coaster here, called The Jetscream, it occupied the site where batman stands now. it was later sold to Astroworld and renamed Viper- and they also added a tunnel.

havenli Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Incredible Hulk at IOA. I was 13 or 14 years old at the time, and pretty scared of roller coasters. My friend made me get on it (the park was brand new, so neither of us knew about the launch - imagine MY surprise!), and now she's responsible for creating a roller coaster FIEND.

TheArchfiend Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Loch-Ness Monster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Virgina. Also my first coaster ever. And to think it was actually kind of "new" when i rode it in the early '80s and it's still around today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checkflaps Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Revolution at Blackpool Pleasure Beach - before I was 8 (when my folks moved down to London) - do I feel old now..... Can still remember the TV show (Jim'll Fix It, for the UK peeps) where the scout troop took McDonalds on with them - cue milk shake over face shot and burgers flying. Then all over again - backwards. Hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
