milst1 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 That's probably tyfoon @ Dippie doe Family Park That was the last coaster I rode in The Netherlands, number 45 I think! But now I have to go back to to ride the new coaster at Toverland for number 46. The closest coaster to me is the famous Cyclone at Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY. It's 12.29 miles, or 19.78 km, as the crow flies. Takes about 35 minutes with no traffic. Hah! Next closest are Rye Playland (19 miles) and Adventureland (L.I.) (22 miles). The crow is much more direct than the automobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdude Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Technically, it is the Tiger Mike (Wisdom Miner Mike) at Boomers in Fountain Valley. However, as that ride is barely a coaster I'm going to say it is California Screamin' at Disney California Adventure Park. As the crow flies, it's only a couple miles further anyway (18 for Tiger Mike, 20 for California Screamin') but it still takes me around 45 minutes from my front door to the Disneyland Resort parking structure.

SharkTums Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Pteranodon Flyers! Just slightly closer than Hulk or whatever crap Harry Potter name they've given Flying Unicorn as the crow flies. Actually driving and walking distance it would be Hulk or Rip Ride Rocket. Time wise it would probably be Manta. Edited February 10, 2013 by SharkTums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtafro Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Just learning this but crossbow at bowcraft amusement oark in scotch plains nj seems to be my closest credit, might need to make a trip to fix the fact I never rode my closest credit.

Werner Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Well that would be Twistrix at Drievliet, about 22km as the crow flies. And 27,5km when driving, that takes 30/35 minutes without traffic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaCoasterKid Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Mine's definitely La Ronde at 2 & 1/2 hours away, probably cobra or ednor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperShawn Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 It appears straight line distance would be Batwing at SFA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pizza14 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 In exact distance is Behemoth! Pretty sick closest coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSchwitek Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Wildcat, Frontier City, 5.6 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Unfortunately, it is Minor Mike at Zuma Fun Center. If I ignore that, it is probably either the dragon coaster on the Pigeon Forge strip or Thunderhead at Dollywood. I am going to pretend it is Thunderhead.

Koasterking48 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Actually Mr. Ivers lives about a mile away from me. I've only rode it once, but it was really fun. Plus, he is a really awesome guy! Edited February 11, 2013 by Koasterking48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simaticable Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Georgia Scorcher if I was measuring the distance to a station. Goliath then if I was measuring the distance to the first piece of track I come across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanic Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 The Incredible Express, a Wisdom Miner Mike, at John's Incredible Pizza in Roseville is just about 10 miles away from my home. I have never ridden it, nor do I ever intend to. When my twin grandsons get old enough, I'm sure they'll take a few spins on it if it's still around.

AndrewRnR Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 House - About 2 miles from Rock N' Roller Coaster at DHS. Office - Just under a mile to Universal... and yes I've gone there on lunch before. And those two reasons are why are I live and work in Orlando. Heck on my drive to work I can easily see 6 coasters from 3 separate parks (and can see 4/6 from my office window!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm pretty sure it's either Gold Striker or Flight Deck at CGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Stratosphere Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Mine is Canyon Blaster at the Adventuredome, about 100ft closer to me than the infamous Miner Mike credit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zem Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 about 100ft closer to me than the infamous Miner Mike credit! Dude there is a Minor Mike that is only slightly further up the road from the one I posted. Both are crappy little things though and not what I would consider actual coasters but hey they are still credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
