RollerCoaster Madness
Im a RollerCoaster fenatic.. The Bigger and faster they are,, the better I like em. Over This past weekend,, me and my buddy went out to Massachusetts to go to the Six Flags, New England ,, out tehre in Massachusetts. They have a Roller Coaster called "superman" there that was better than our "superman".. it was longer in track length and had more to it. last 2 years,, i went to cedar Point and rode em all,, including the coaster "top thrill dragster" that is 420 feet in the air and goes 120 mph in under 19 seconds. the best thrill in my life on a coaster. was wondering if there are any other rollercoaster fenatics besides me on this site? if so,, I salute you coaster lovers like me out there!

Re: RollerCoaster Madness
I'm right there with ya man!! Coasters rule!! [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]
Too bad that whenever I go to a park, I have to ride alone because my gal pal can't handle them [img]images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/icon_frown.gif[/img] Oh well [img]images/smilies/dunno.gif[/img]
Last year I hit the Superman at Six Flags in Ohio and it was jamming . . . so was the Batman and especially the X-Flight . . . you ride it lying face down. That one will definately test your mettle - LOL!! [img]images/smilies/icon_bowdown.gif[/img]

I'm not sure who bought the parl out, but you're absolutely right - they sold it. [img]images/smilies/icon_frown.gif[/img] It's kind of a shame because it was pretty cool that one ticket got you into Sea World and the park. Before Six Flags bought it, you had to buy two tickets to see the whole thing. I'm pretty sure that's the way the made it again.
Not nearly that good of a deal anymore. [img]images/smilies/dunno.gif[/img]
Given a choice for the money - I'll be hitting Cedar Point from now on I think. [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]

Re: RollerCoaster Madness
Hi there,
I love Roller Coasters. I go to Alton Towers, probably the best Theme Park here in the UK, at least once a year. Nothing as extreme as the rides you guys seem to have over in The States, but they are all decent enough !

I just love rollercoasters. The whole way a new one can scare the crap out of you as you queue up and it whooshes around you. And even though you don't know what you're in for, you'll still go on it, for that adrenalin rush.
Great stuff !

Here's a pic I bought of me on Nemesis at Alton Towers last year...
