Haunted house and Ghost Train!!!

OH MY GOD! I had no idea we allowed that many polling options :eek: Which isn't bad, just gave me a shock.

Anyway, Roller Coasters rule by far! All those loops, and spins and side winders, if only there were better roller coasters around here.

See what happens when you're away for a week ... everything is changing underneath you! ;)

Roller Coasters here too. The more loops the better! Woo Hoo! I like going upside down and fast. And also if a roller coaster is unusual is cool too, like if you stand up or if your feet hang out freely.

I was tempted to vote for the bouncy castle though. ;) j/k

Heh, yeah! ;) And so many topics to read in a week's worth!

I would love to get into an unusual roller coaster, like the feet hanging out ones. I've only ever seen them, and would love to try them out! However, I think the closest is Movie World... Allllllll the way up in Queensland.

Haha, although one thing similar I did yesterday at the Easter Show (second time I went this year - what a long day it was) I went on a "ride" that hooked you up to two taught strings that rasied you up in the air and you could bounce on a trampoline really high. Now, it may not sound very fun, but I love to do flips, backflips etc, and will do them whenever I get the chance. $10 was WAY worth it :)

Hey Alcar you have to come over here and try out this monster!

The Milenium Force: This thing is as tall as the Statue of Lyberty a hair raising 320 ft, plus it drops at 80 dagrees and goes 90 miles an hour and takes at least 1 minute to get to the top! Its at Cedar Point Ohio

:eek:

Jebus! Look at that drop! That'd be the scariest thing of all along that track, unless there is more hidden surprises.

Are there any loops? Or side winders?

Alcar...

paramiteabe 04-23-2003 11:39 AM

There are no loops but there are like three tunnels, 60 dagree side winders and 200 hundred ft drops. Plus the cars you sit in are just like chairs with wheels. There are no sides on the cars so its something else I got to tell ya! I have been on it once its worth the wait let me tell ya! The Coaster is just superb!

But there are other coasters that are king of loops at Cedar Point like this one. The Raptor! This a conceptual drawing of the coaster. It too is at Cedar Point and its an Inverted Coaster where your legs dangle. This thing is awesome if your willing to wait about an hour in line. it goes really fast plus your like upside down almost half the time. When you get off its like whoa! This thing goes through corkscrews, loops, camel backs, 360 dagree side winders like completly flips you over at incrediable speeds. Its very fun and smooth! Cedar Point has over 15 coasters. They also just got a bran new one that is even taller than the Millenium at 420 ft. Its called the Dragster and this shoots you up at 90 dagrees in an arc laying on your side. Cedar Point has the worlds largests plus its all in my backyard! Its about $43.00 to get in the park.:D

*Splat reads descriptions of rollercoasters and start drooling*

Me want coaster!
Why is there nothing like that in great britain?
And your 40$ is barely a scrap. Legolnd has a 64£ entrance fee, as well as having to pay for all the steeply priced side shows, and all they have is a pokey little rollercoaster trhat would make a 5 year olds tea cup ride look terrifying! I envy you greatly

*Splat walks off to wallow in self pity and think up evil schemes for getting back at ParamiteAbe:mad: *

Native Poser 04-23-2003 06:36 PM

Geez, how come no one puts "all of the above" in the poll options any more?

paramiteabe 04-23-2003 06:44 PM

Hehe By the way I have a picture of the bran new monster they have at Cedar Point. I tell ya I am trying to wounder on where the hell they find room to build these things. Sheesh! theres already 16 coasters there! This is the worlds first Strata Coaster yep! Look at the height comparison next to the Milenium in the far left cornor. All I half to say is holy shit!:eek:

Hello Wolfpac. I would say the Pirate Ship. That is fun. But I have not been on many rides, other than at the Royal Show, as we do not have a big theme park where I live.

paramiteabe 04-24-2003 11:17 AM

Here is a nice image of The Raptor!: This is an extremely fun coaster.
