I love to go to Six Flags Great America. I'm going tomorrow. My favorite coaster is Raging Bull, followed closely by Batman (I hate the new color scheme :yuck: 👎 ). I really want to go to Cedar Point someday to ride Millenium Force and Top Thrill Dragster. Is any one else here a coaster enthusiast?
 
The coasters i want to ride the most, but haven't:
1. The Hulk
2. Top Thrill Dragster
3. Kraken
 
Hell yeah!
I'm a coaster wizzard!
And I live in the state that has Cedar Point!
I even have two websites deticated to them!
Beat that MFers
 
They are alright. I hate the incline to the first hill, but after that I'm fine.

Has anyone ever rode on the Superman ride?
 
Odd this thread was just started, as I went to Canada's Wonderland on Monday for the first time in years. I used to be scared ****less of roller coasters, but now I have love them! I tried some coasters I had not been on before, and I had a great time riding them, experiencing the wind, the G-Forces, the drop, it all feels great to me now! Anyone here been to Wonderland by the way?

I was supposed to go to Cedar Point for a band competition last year, but it was cancelled due to a lack of interest from the band.

:D I've done Hulk and Kraken.

There's this ride in Parc Asterix outside Paris, France. And it has this killer first loop, well theres also a corkscrew thrown in it. When you go on there they say keep your head pressed back into the seat, and hell you should . I got my ears boxed on that first bit, but enjoyed the rest.
The nearest theme park to me is called Oakwood. And has a wooden 'coaster called MegaPhobia. It is said to be one of the best in the UK, but sadly we aren't going to the park with the school after a girl fell out of her seat (and died) on one of the water rides.
 
they're ok. They don't give me a decent rush anymore though. It's not difficult for me to fall asleep on even the largest and fastest of coasters now
 
I love them Millenium Force and Top Thrill Dragster both are fun but top thrill is like 20 secs long and like a 3 hour wait, wich is gay.

Superman Ride of Steel is fun I have one near my house its like 206 feet tall or somthin fun first drop.

I love the aniticipation you get on the lift hill, especiall on a new coaster. Tomorrow i will ride the new Ragin' Cajun at Six Flags Great America. It's a wild mouse, so it's new to me!

Also, I rode Superman- The Ultimate Flight the day it opened to the public! May 3rd, 2003. It's not bad, the seats are really comfortable. You pull so many G's in the pretzel loop. It's good, but Shockwave was better. (For those who don't know, Shockwave was the ride that they tore out to make room for Superman.)
 
Six Flags New England's Superman is one of the best ones I've ever been on. It's fast, and when I say fast I don't mean fast like you do on a highway at night, I mean fast. I got winded after the first drop on the first time I went on it. But it was well worth it. Roller Coasters Rock my socks.
 
Love them, but I've not been on any of the really big ones you guys have in the US. I don't get motion sickness - I can eat my lunch on these things - but I get a huge thrill out of them. I reckon they're great!
 
Love 'em. I went on Goliath at Six Flags 5 times in a row once. It's been a while since I've gone to any amusement parks though.
 
I used to go to Astor World(AKA Six Flags Over Houston)
all the time my favorite ride was Batman Escape;you rode it standing up.
 
Hate them. Last i went to the Amusement Park I was forced to ride on them. One, called the "Mineshaft" is one where you all sit in an old coal trolley. It is slowly - and I mean slowly - cranked up a slope to the top of what used to be the gear mechanism of a gold mine shaft. Then it stops at the summit for a random period of seconds and then drops vertically down the mineshaft for about 40 meters above ground and then another 25 meters in the pitch darkness of underground before you cirlce around to the next riders. Sucks.
 
I love em.. I went on every single rollercoaster in Six Flags Magic Mountain (here in cali) all except for X. There was too long of a line. Favorite rollercoaster has to be The Riddler. (I think thats what its called.) It's the one based off of that character and its next to the batman ride...
 
I've only been on one in my whole life because I'm too young to drive myself to one and my parents wont tkae me and the only people that will take me are my grandparents and they dont "beleive" in roller coasters they say they are for delinquents(sp?) I wish I could go on more...
 
I absolutely hate and love roller coasters. I love the effect of the adrenaline on me when i am climbing that 20 foot climb. But then the fall scares me because i am afraid i might fall off..

The highest coaster i have ever been on: Jaguar at Knotts and some kiddy rides lol

Rollercoasters (more to the point: adrenaline) are like all dr.... body alterating substances. It's what you make of them. Sort of like the placebo effect; only its the placebo effect plus the actual effect.
 
The highest coaster I've been on is Raging Bull @ ~205 feet. It gets going at ~72MPH.

Haha, you're missing out. Jaguar is a horrible ride.
 
I hate them. It's a control issue. Put me behind the stick of a plane, and I'll do whatever stunt I can think of.
