No, they look really cool though. A lot of them are being taken down because of health and some of them are just older.

I'm suprised they're even safe with some of the features, like a 90 degree lift hill with just a normal chain. What if when it neared the top it didn't catch? You'd go flying down.

My favorite coaster that I've ridden is easily X at Six Flags Magic Mountain, its in a realm all by itself.

But I generally like wooden coasters more than steel coasters.

Mine would have to be Raging Bull and Viper both in the back. Bull in the back at the first drop screws up my stomach but other then that it's great. Awesome i mean awesome air time on Viper. It's so freakin awesome. You litterly fly outa your seat in the back of Viper. Yesterday I was flyin it was so cool.

Bull in the back is awesome. And FYI, I LOOOOOOVE the fact that it "screws up my stomach" on the first drop. It's awesome, dude!

I've ridden a "pipeline coaster" in the form of Ultra Twister at SFAW. The trains are horrible, the OTSR's had a large panel attached to them acting as a door for the row of the car, making then *extremely* heavy, the ride itself was ok, nothing to write home about though.

This shows the panels that are on the OTSRs

Yucky feeling? I thought you were talking about the cool jumpy feeling. Well, not everyone can handle it, I guess. 'Tis OK, I don't mean to make fun. After all, there are some rides I can't handle for reasons others might say "That's a dumb reason. I like it BECAUSE of that." I wouldn't say that. What you feel is what you feel. Sorry.

Cool so I would have to add onto Bull and Viper that my other favorite coaster is Whizzer. I remember when I was 9 and it was my first trip to sfgam and that entire day all we could ride was Whizzer. I couldn't ride anything else yet.

Whizzer was the first coaster I ever rode at GAm. Before that, I rode Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain at Disneyworld and at the time, I HATED COASTERS TO DEATH! My how things have changed. Speaking of Disney World, when I rode Space Mountain I was actually four years old. Don't ask me how I still have memories of that, but I do. Funny thing is, my parents actually didn't know it was a roller coaster at the time until we rode it. They thought it was a pleasant family space ride or something, like a gentle simulator or whatever. And then we got in our seats, it was all dark and we were going up this hill and my brother said to my mom sitting next to him "Uh oh. What goes up, must come down." My parents were terrified for me. :lol: But I just kept telling myself, "It'll be over soon." Funny story, no?

My first 2 roller coasters were Demon and Whizzer. And my dad when we went to Cedar Point a few weeks ago thought Disaster Transport was a simulator. Then we started up the chain lift then he relized it's a coaster.

Deja Vu. I don't know what it is but it's just such an amazing coaster. I love hanging on the first tower too.

Ditto! I haven't rode it that much since it came out (I think twice), because it's so unreliable, but when it's working, ain't nothin' better. Even Bull in the Back.

Okay, wise guy. :roll:

I meant at GAm, okay? Seriously, sorry I haven't been able (key word ABLE), to go to many other parks and ride all the cool coasters that I so want to, okay?

So go ahead, rub it in my face that I can't go to CP, KK, DP, MM, Adv, OT, GL, etc. etc. etc. Trust me, there's a long list of parks I so want to go to.

Haha I like your signature. That's probably something I would do.

2nd on the list would be Millennium Force, then TTD. I used to like them better than Vu when I first rode them, but after some time I decided Vu is better.

^ Yeah, and see there are several reasons I can't do the multi-park thing like all you "coaster enthusiasts" somehow can do. And they are:

No job
No money (Caused by no job)
Can't drive (Won't learn because of gas prices and inconsiderate jerk maniacs on the road among other things I choose not to get into)
No friends (Especially rich friends that can and are willing to pay for everything and I mean everything)
No family members that like to go to parks, except my brother, who by the way, has no job either and should NOT be spending what little money he has on going to parks, even though he wants to go. I'm sick of mooching off people.

So, as you can see, my life sucks right now. So there.
