When you say Viper do you mean steel or wooden one?

I never got a chance to ride that. When I went, it was closed down for some reason. Is it good?

Mummy is pretty awesome, as a coaster on it's own out in the open it may not be the best, but with the theme and all, it is pretty good.

2.Bull
4.V2
5.Viper
5.I think it is American Eagle but I havn't been on Eagle for 2 years and never been on it forward before. I'm going to ride it forward this year for Fright Fest. Isn't that the one with the giant spider on it?

^I was just on it yesterday and the red side was running BEAUTIFULLY! It was the best ride i had in a long time. Oh, and the spiders are up in the station, as are the snakes in the Viper's station, but Tiny is not up yet and the inflatable Wiggle is still at the front of the park, not the monster.

So far it's the American Eagle and Raging Bull here in Gurnee, The Boss and Screaming Eagle in Eureka, MO, and Space Mountain in Florida.

They're returning the lacking 'Snakes On A Train' theme to Viper??

And I think you meant 'Orangie' the giant pumpkin. :D

I agree

There is no max/min age to ride Spacely's. The only requirement is that you have to be a minimum of 36".

It's the best drop in the world. Hands down. And then ridiculous airtime ensues on the camelbacks.


MF has little to no airtime. You want airtime, go ride Superman at SFNE or Voyage at Holiday World.

IMHO MF is only good for the speed and the drop is good also.

After riding Griffon at Busch Gardens Europe, that's definitely my favorite steel coaster. For wooden coasters, American Eagle at SFGA is still my favorite. For thematic coaster, The Mummy at Universal is the best, in my opinion.

I have only been to SFGAm (gasp), so of course my favorites are only from that park.

1. Vertical Velocity
2. Raging Bull
3. Superman: Ultimate Flight

I know a lot of people on these forums don't really like V2 or SUF, but there is something about both of those coasters that really attract me to them.

I don't know if you can consider this really as a roller coaster, but last year I went to the Lake County Fair and they had this very small kiddie coaster that was "themed" around a Chinese dragon. The ride only lasted for a couple of seconds, and the ride operator barely knew anything about what he was doing and he kept on talking to these other little kids about the "outer limits."

Maverick is genius. When I went to Cedar point last August, I was blown away by its perfection. Intamin really strives to give CP the best I feel.

Maverick in the front row is so insane. The airtime is incredible. The transitions are great & the ride from begining to end is amazing. The lift is so fast, youre just stuck in the seat & the first drop felt like someone had pushed me as I was falling, weird.

Nothing compares to that coaster. Love it, love it, love it.
