What's your favorite roller coaster? Mine is Talon: In The Grip of Fear, at Dorney Park. If you're in the front row, it is like flying.

<_<;

me no can stand roller coasters no more ._.;

technically I could use the excuse of my eyes o.o

can't remember what the eye doctor said it was called, but one thing that happnes is that rapidly moving objects can look closer to my eyes then they really are <.< so if you like do a fast ounch or something it'll look closer to me then it is >_> now try being on a rollar coaster when you see like that http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

although I used to like this one coaster in west edmonton mall... can't remember it's name http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

Thats a tough one. Mine would have to be ALL the roller coasters at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

Particularly this one.

Millennium Force at Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. Hands down up, the most exhilarating coaster I've experienced. I've also been known to enjoy Gemini (also at Cedar Point) and Raging Bull (at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL). Unfortunately, I've not had the pleasure of going to many amusement parks, so my experiences are limited.

Astuarlen's ingredients for a fun ride: plenty of air time and no inversions (oy, loops and corkscrews make me dizzy).

Hmm... toughie. I love all the coasters at Six Flags St. Louis... but I like:

The Boss-A HUGE wooden roller coaster with big drops
The Batman-You gotta love having your feet dangle while riding

I went on a roller coaster years ago at Six Flags. It was my first, but also my last. Being easy to get motion sickness, these rides aren't really 'thrilling' to me. ;]

The Six Flags here used to be fun before Katrina turned it into a waterpark. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif The coasters there were pretty fun though, they always gave you that feeling that the entire roller coaster will collapse. :B

i liked dueling dragons and the Hulk at "islands of adventure" the dueling dragon line is literally a mile long...when i went there...it was raining so no one in line but rides were still open...me and my stepbrother literally took about 7 minutes to walk through the line thing (line...meaning where people WOULD stand if there were people

They closed the Six Flags park here in Houston http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif Texas Cyclone was my favorite ride. It was and old ride, all wood. You always had the feeling that it could fall apart at any minute.

Millenium Force is pretty tight... when I rode it last year that first drop almost made me pass out. I was seeing stars... but maybe that's just because I have poor circulation. *Shrug* Didn't get a chance to hit Top Fuel Dragster since the people I was with were too scared after hearing rumors of somone getting killed (or maimed) by a piece of metal that fell off on the way down a week before.

I still like the Mantis... though it's kinda tame now. Stand up coasters are just more fun to me for some reason. The Raptor and Wicked Twister are also pretty fun. I like the Power-Tower too.. though it's not really a coster. Take some bottled water up on it, and squirt it out when it drops you... the water suspends in the air in front of you while your falling - like on the astronaut videos. I saw a 7 year old kid get clocked in the head pretty hard by someone's shoe that fell off as they were going up. I felt kinda bad for the kid, but I couldn't stop laughing either.

For speed and height, it's gotta be Millenium Force. But for innovation, Superman at Six Flags in Gurnee, IL, takes the cake.

I live about an hour away from Gurnee, so I've been to Six Flags quite a few times.

I live an hour away from Cedar Point but haven't been there in years. Last time I went was in 2000 when millenium force was new. I have to say there's nothing like the classic Magnum or Mean Streak. Blue Streak is also classic....but almost *too* classic....for those who know what I mean.

Well my all time fav is no more.

Drachen Fire

A brutal head banger but it's design was so much fun to reride over and over again.

Millinium Force, Top Fuel Dragster & Alpengiest are awesome too. And for pure nostalgia: Loch Ness Monster. Yeah I like Busch Gardens.
