Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Since we have the "First Inversion" thread, what are the tallest and fastest coasters you have been on. For Me,
Tallest : Mr. Freeze at SFSL (236ft)
Fastest : Hypersonic XLC at Kings Dominion (80mph)

However, I noticed that some people put Raging Bull as their tallest, and V2 as their fastest. According to RCDB, Raging Bull has a top speed of 73 MPH, and V2 has a top speed of 70.
I guess what I'm getting at is those that put RB as their tallest should have put RB as their fastest as well!
Sure, its only 3 MPH, and you probably don't even notice anyway.....but, 3 MPH is still 3 MPH.

TTD
http://themeparkcritic.com/scripts/profile/ViewProfile.asp?ViewID=2909 A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon! *****Are you ready to Rockit?!*****

^Somebody hasn't read all of the posts above his
Question, do people consider rides like Mission Space to have speed to them? And how fast is Mission Space for that matter? cause the Gs created are really strong, but it's a lateral movement...so anyone know more?
