Do you like rollercoasters? I don't like them. I love them.
Which ones have you been on? Too many to count.
What's your favourite coaster? Tough one. Either the Big Bad Wolf (Bush Gardens), Storm Runner (Hershey Park), or Rock 'n' Rollercoaster (WDW).
Anything else you'd like to add? Goofy's Barnstormer (WDW) is good for your first coaster. And the Super Dooper Looper (Hershey Park) is good for your first upside down coaster.

Roller coasters are kind of a so-so thing. I'll go on the baby ones at WDW (SM, BTM) but not on Expedition Everest or RNR. If I went to Six Flags, I would be to chicken to get on anything.

I've been on Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, some crappy one in a local theme park, and that's it.

My favorite coaster is BTM.

I pretty much like Disney rollercoasters, and that's about it. You can enjoy the theming on a Disney ride without feeling sick afterwards. Rockin' Roller Coaster is my least favorite at the parks though.

I did notice on my April trip that if a tall person (like me) did the thing where you put your hands in the air, or god forbid, all the way to the side, you would get clipped by the theming/rocks on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The same holds to a tiny extent on Space Mountain.

[shellybellypolo]

Do you like rollercoasters? YES. YES YES YES.
Which ones have you been on? Sadly, not too many. Only some of them at WDW and most of them at Dorney Park.
What's your favourite coaster? Either the Hydra or The Talon. Pretty fun.
Anything else you'd like to add? OK, I agree, Goofy's Barnstormer is a really good starter. If you're afraid of heights, Try The Laser (http://www.dorneypark.com/public/kiosks/videomodule.cfm?id=6&kioskmode=yes&mode=choose). It's not too high, yet it goes upside down and I really enjoyed it. However, if you really like high roller coasters, try Steel Force (http://www.dorneypark.com/public/kiosks/videomodule.cfm?id=7&kioskmode=yes&mode=choose). It's really big... and it's actually the only one I didn't go on because I was chicken . If you're looking for your first upside down roller coaster, try The Hydra (http://www.dorneypark.com/public/ki...mode=video&ID=10&MediaTypeID=5&kioskmode=yes). It does a slow 360 to give you a taste of the action. If you like roller coasters that make you feel like you're flying, then I suggest The Talon (http://www.dorneypark.com/public/kiosks/videomodule.cfm?id=8&kioskmode=yes&mode=choose). It is SO MUCH FUN. I suggest it to anyone who likes a nice flying experience. .
I know. I'm based on Dorney Park. I can't help it... I haven't been to Six Flags ever since I was about 8, and they wouldn't let me on ANY of them.

 

[JulielovesDisney]

I <3 roller coasters!
My favorite non-Disney roller coaster is Superman's Ultimate Flight at Six Flags, but in two weeks I'm going on Nitro and El Toro, so they might be my new favorites.
I love spinny rollercoasters. They are my favorite, like Primeval Whirl..heaven!! And I also like the "kiddie coasters" that don't have big drops. They are fun to go on and mess around on with your friends.

 

[tinkerbelle22]

Do you like rollercoasters? Obsessed.
Which ones have you been on? A gazillion and two.
What's your favourite coaster? That's hard. Either Aplpengeist (busch gardens), Apollo's Chariot (busch gardens), El Toro (great adventure), California Screamin' (disney's california adventure) or Nitro (great adventure)
Anything else you'd like to add? Busch Gardens is a great place to experience your first upside down coasters. And get the photos that they take of you on the rides. There are so many times where I just wanted to get to the next ride, so I didn't buy one. But at home and in the future, it's really fun to see them again and laugh.

 

[BandGeek911]

Do you like rollercoasters? YES!
Which ones have you been on? Oh, so so many.
What's your favourite coaster? Medusa, Nitro, Batman, EE, Batman and Robin, Superman,
Anything else you'd like to add? I really want to go on Kingda ka. Practically everytime I go there, it's closed :[

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

Do you like rollercoasters? I love them.
Which ones have you been on? Every single one in WDW.
Great Adventure in New Jersey:
Medusa
Nitro
The Great American Scream Machine
Batman
El Toro
Kingda Ka

Seaworld in Florida:
Kraken
What's your favourite coaster? Kingda Ka, BTMRR, and RnR.
Anything else you'd like to add? El Torro, in my opinion, is more intense than Kingda Ka. Rock 'n' Rollercoaster was my first inversion rollercoaster, and the good thing about it is that you can't feel when you're going upsidedown on the last two inversions.
Kraken scared the stuffing out of me.

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

I really want to go on Kingda ka. Practically everytime I go there, it's closed :[

 

[shellybellypolo]

I could never go on Kingda Ka. Even though I love roller coasters, that looks deadly dangerous. You could get whip lash on that thing! I think it was a bad idea...

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

I could never go on Kingda Ka. Even though I love roller coasters, that looks deadly dangerous. You could get whip lash on that thing! I think it was a bad idea...

People are going to die. People have always died, and always will die. A 12 year old kid died on Rock 'n' Rollercoaster. You ride that. A four year old died on Mission: Space. You've probably ridden that. Heck, someone was killed on Space Mountain in the 80s (I think.) I know you've ridden that. An employee of Six Flags died on Rollin' Thunder. I assume you've been on that. Although Kingda Ka is intense, people will die on it if they have undiagnosed conditions and what not. Yes, it's been rumored that a single test dummy has flown out of the ride in 2005, if more continued to fly out, the ride would've been closed permanently if the damages could not be fixed.

The point is, Kingda Ka continues to run because it's safe. I know, OMG it's the tallest and fastest rollercoaster ever, but really, if test dummies continued to fly out, the ride would have never been opened to begin with. They'd either scratch the idea entirely, or modify it to make it safer. Although Kingda Ka doesn't look it, it has to be safe, in order for people to ride it.

If you bothered to read that rant, thank you.
