A well designed rollercoaster is like a beautiful painting.

That's crazy, I was just thinking about starting this thread a few weeks ago, now you stole my idea.

Anyways, I remember the Superman at Six flags new jersey. That thing was fucking insane. Back then (1999) it was the world's fastest roller coaster.

I don't know the names of all the coasters I've been on but I've been on every coaster at these parks...

Worlds of Fun (Kansas City)
Six Flags (St. Louis and Arlington/Dallas)
Universal Islands of Adventure
Universal Theme Park
Disneyworld
Some amusement park in Toronto


I love rollercoasters. My dad and I always talked about going to Cedar Point, but we have never gotten around to it.

Racing your friends and high-fiving them on the Gemini is the ultimate in roller coaster experience.

I rode everything at Astroworld (RIP :( )

I've ridden everything at Fiesta Texas.

I'll ride anything. Rollercoasters are almost a replacement for sex.

I'm a fan of the Woodies:

Mean Streak (Cedar Point)
Beast (King's Island)
Thunderbold (Kennywood)

... are my favorites.

I think Mean Streak tries too hard to be an old-fashioned roller coaster. Too much purposeful bumpiness and jerkiness. I'd rather ride the Blue Streak and Gemini any day.
