I'm going there soon and I dont know what to ride. I know I' riding GASM, Kingda Ka, and El Toro. Is Medusa or "Chiller" rough? What else should I ride?
Top 3 Steel Coasters: 1. The Incredible Hulk 2. Maverick 3. Dragon Challenge (Fireball)
Top 3 Wood Coasters: 1. The Beast 2. American Eagle (Red) 3. Hades
Your asking if Medusa is rough? GASM is probably the roughest ride there and Medusa is (from what ive heard) extremely smooth.
GASM is exactly like our old Shockwave, and shockwave wasnt exactly the smoothest ride out there. Ive been on Superman Krypton and it is AMAZING, (its a B&M floorless).
My Advice? As soon as you get in the park ride Kingda Ka and El Toro before everthing because the lines get long.
Heres the main things you should ride
1. Kingda Ka
2. El Toro
3. Nitro
5. Medusa
6. The Chiller
7. Maybe GASM if you want a headache.

I figured GASM is rough because it's the same as Shockwave but the reason I want to ride it is because I never got to ride Shockwave and I want to see what it is like. Does Kingda Ka give you that feeling in your stomache? I know TTD doesn't but I just didn't know. What rides do they take your picture on?

I would think that Kingda Ka would give your stomache that "feeling". I mean, its 456 feet straight down twisting.
But when I rode TTD I didn't get it at all.

And have you even been on a really rough coaster? I thought you have only been to SFGAm, which does not contain any.
If I hate rides like Demon or Iron Wolf, both of which make me so banged up that I have to sit and recover for about 20 minutes afterwards, and they aren't the roughest rides out there, I can't imagine how bad I'd get hurt on a "really rough coaster". I don't go on coasters to get hurt. Sure, I've been on rides that give you a little blood rush to the head and a slight headache that goes away pretty quickly, Batman is a good example because it's so fast, but if you physically bang your head around, why in the world would you ride it? Sounds idiotic to me.
Oh and Demon and Wolf don't just give me "a little bump or two". More like a lot of bumps.
Hee hee, look. I have a signature thingy um, thing.

I don't even think Demon is rough...I could ride that 50 times in a row.
that's odd, cause I find Ninja to be one of the better loopers out there. But it has to do with height, it's phyiscally inpossible for me to get headbanging on Arrow's and Vekomas cause I have a tall body and that puts my head well above the restraint.
For SFGAdv I'd say ride every coaster once and run like hell.
Medusa is smooth but forceless, and Chiller has lapbars only, so roughness is a non issue.
All flats that were any good were removed, so there isnt that much to do outside of coasters, get there at open and one and done every ride.

What they should do is have vice like restraints, where once you are in, you can push a button to mechanically pull in the restraints closer to your head until they are resting right on your ears and then you let go and can even reverse them if you make them too tight. That way, your head can't even move around and thus has no room to end up banging into the restraints. I know you're gonna say that sounds both retarded and expensive, but you know if GAm had more money, they could afford such a thing. If I were an inventor, I would invent that.
Or my second choice would be pillows. Lots and lots of pillows.

A good idea would be to have lowerable restraints to rest on the riders shoulders. Arrow OTSRs rest on my shoulders so I have no problems with headbanging. But even when I was not that tall, I still enjoyed rides like Demon and Shockwave.

That is a good idea. I'm only 5'8", so the restraints go up to my head. I so wish that they had that because then I would enjoy Iron Wolf.
