ats86 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 The ol' Scenic Railway at Luna Park, its not the most thrilling coaster, but im sure it was back in 1912 when it opened! In its the oldest continually operating coaster in the world i think... http://www.rcdb.com/ig1136.htm
pierreuk Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Haha my closest coaster is inside a shopping centre! The metro centre has a mini indoor theme park called New Metroland and has a coaster called New Rollercoaster. http://www.rcdb.com/ig895.htm The giant SLC Kumali is the next closest.
Bubba Z Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 J2 (Tsunami) Clementon Lake park only 8 miles away.
ShannonSomerville Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 The closest one that I can think of is SRoS at SFA,or if want to go to VA,I would say that Volcano is the closest one for me. SES
RCfanatic Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 My closest coaster is Orca Ride, a Max Tivoli by Zerier at the little Boudewijn Seapark in Buges, West Flanders. Its about an hour drive. I've never been on it before (not yet anyway) but if im close enough sometime and i have spare time i might just try it some day. http://www.rcdb.com/ig933.htm But when i really want to ride a coaster in the neigbourhood, i'd most likely go to Bobbejaanland.
TwistedTrack Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I think Apollo's Chariot or maybe Topgun, I am between both...
dragoncoaster1292 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 The Hurricane at Adventureland! Hell yeah, be jealous! Just wait, that thing is going to kill someone, too! Then the entirety of slightly decent rides shall close there! Let's see, we got Top Scan (threw off a mentally retarded woman), Surf Dance (being removed for some Frisbee clone), and then there will be our Hurricane, which is now the only thing I go to the park for! Woohoo! Yay America! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
coasterguy618 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I think it is Kingda Ka because SFGADv is my home park and KK is in the front of the park.
Machtin Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 My nearest coaster is the new aspirant for best inverter in the world: Black Mamba! If I were you, I'd be jealous of me right now.
Bk1870 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 My nearest park is Paramount's Carowinds...so I would have to say Hurler since I come I from that way. Blah I hate Hurler.
DATman Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 USH Mummy, or the ride that could have been all that they advertised it to be.
jamesdillaman Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Either Runaway Reptar or The Beast, not sure which is closer.... great, now it's going to bug me and I'll have to figure it out. Google earth makes it look about the same but I think the station for the beast is a little closer to me (about 5 minutes from my house) -James
nannerdw Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 My closest coaster is Kentucky Rumbler (only 1 1/2 hours away!) I'm surprised I have still never been to Beech Bend. I will have to go some time this year.
rcoasters Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 The closest coaster to me would be Goliath at La Ronde (yay !) but last year it was Le Monstre, also at La Ronde because I live on the east shore of the park and now there building Goliath on that side of the park .
imdrunk Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Mega Zyph at SFNew Orleans. Hopefully it will up and running again. . . . http://www.rcdb.com/ig589.htm?picture=5
America Sings Freak Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Space Mountain @ DL or The Matterhorn I am not sure which one I see first
Stitch Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Pepsi Python @ Coney Island Cincinnati http://www.rcdb.com/ig406.htm
bigjohnson51 Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 if i hop the fence its the MAMBA if i actually go through the gates its spinning dragons....woopee
crispy Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I guess I should be honest and Say that the Galaxi coaster at Cliff's is Closer, but only a few yards diffrence is the NM Rattler, and its a tiny bit better, so I'll go with that one
RtherBOnACoaster Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I guess mine is Legoland California's Technic Coaster. Sorry I have no picture because I havent been to Legoland since it opened.
cprocks22 Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 If there was a line going from my house, it would probably be Millennium Force , which is 1 1/2 hours away . If i was going into Cedar Points entrance it would be Raptor.
arson Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Let's see... for me, probably Storm Runner or Lightning Racer depending on the way I travel. Of course, it depends on the direction... West: Hersheypark 15-20 minutes depending on traffic North: Knoebels, fourty-five minutes, relative East: Dorney Park, hour and 45 minutes South: PA Turnpike to Six Flags Great Adventure, two and a half hours
BrownStreak Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Right now the Serpeant at Wyandot Lake is the closest coaster to me. I have no pics of it as I have never been there. When I move to Cleveland this summer I will have to get a tape measure and measure the closest coaster to me!
