Happy Your favorite Roller Coaster and Amusement park!

I love Roller Coasters and my favorite ones are:

1. MagnumXL200 (Cedar Point)

2. Mean Streak (Cedar Point)

3. Raptor (Cedar Point)

4. Mellenium Force (Cedar Point)


If you noticed all those coasters are at Cedar Point. the most Greatest Amusement Park in the whole world. Not to mention in my own back yard about an hour and a half from me.

Well what are your favorite Roller Coasters and Amusement Parks since summer is around the cornor?

Australian theme parks are pretty lame compared to America! In Melbourne we don't even have a decent theme park, even though they have been telling us for years they are going to build one. There's a good one in Sydney though, but last time I went, the Demon (their best roller coaster) wasn't working. There's also some decent ones in Queensland, but I haven't been to them.

I love roller coasters though ... the more loops the better! The best theme park I have been to is 6 Flags in California (outside LA). I think there were 5 or 6 rollercoasters there. The best one was The Joker. It was cool as you stood up while you were on the ride! There was also another cool one where your feet/legs were left hanging, but I can't remember the name of it.

They were talking about "real life" I believe.

I have only been to three. And I was four at the time so yeah. They were Dreamworld, Seaworld and my favourite Movieworld, all in Australia. We only have one in NZ anyway. We were also going to go to Wet n' Wild except back then it had closed seasons and we struck them.
My favourite (and scariest) ride at Movieworld was this one where you go in something and you stavel along and all these Loony Toons cut down trees and things on you.
And the Gremlin ride. They spat at me!
Ah the very few memories.

Tell me can it out wit the Mellenium Force?

Check this out my friend!

Hehe BIG coaster aint it? Well that is just a little glimps at what Cedar Point has to offer. Cedar Point just got a bran new coaster called the Dragster and that is even bigger by about I think 12 ft. So Cedar Point has about 16 rollor coasters. The park is just huge! Here is the Mean Streak. It looks as if they cut down the whole rain Forest with this wooden favorite.



Here is a picture of the Magnum too well the second hill of it: It is like 200 ft high at 60 dagrees. The first drop that is. This is the only one I can find. What your seeing is the second hill which twists and goes into a tunnel.


Here are two shots of the Raptor one is a concept drawing. As you can see its an inverted coaster and it is extremely fast and long.

The only theme park I really live close to is Six Flags Over Texas. However, since it was the original Six Flags park, its been remodeled and added on to so much that theres not room for any new rides, and the pavement is pretty run down.

Anyways though, I've been to Six Flags Fiesta Texas (about 3 hours south) and thats by far better than the Six Flags by my house. Its newer, has a much better layout, isn't overcrowded by locals, and has the water park attached. Yay....

Anyways, my favorite coaster is the Titan (Six Flags Over Texas)... which is still not much compared to what some of the bigger theme parks have, but its still pretty neat.

The Mellenium is like 310 ft tall and it was the first in 1999 to beat the record highest in the world. Its as tall as the Statue of Lyberty. It broke a ton of records. The train itself goes 90 miles an hour and there are absolutely no sides on each car of the train. They are seats with wheels so its defenitly something else.

Also it was the first coaster to ever use elevator cables instead chains to pull the train up the hill. And it takes less than 1 minute to get to the top of that monster. So it is pretty quick and something else. The second hill is like as high as the first hill on the Magnum which is 200 ft. So its enormaus. Like when you are going to Cedar Point before you get to the park you have to cross a long cause way across Sandusky bay which is on the shores of Lake Erie. You can see Mellenium Force for miles on end because its so huge. So its indeed something worth while let me tell ya. If you ever one day get a chance to go to Cedar Point I do recomend it. Its like the Dysney World of Ohio. Infact the park itself has its own beach resorts. Its a cool place. Theres 16 of the worlds largest coasters there. Though it is like $40.00 to get in but I can say it is worth every penny. Isnt Six Flags that expensive too? Anyway Cedar point is one huge park and people around me say its Ohio's version of Dysney World.

thats cool paramite, i think six flags is maybe like double that size but its not filled with all rollercoasters, its got ALOt but there is also water rides, and all other things. six flags u can get a season pass to go there all the time for free and its like 75 dollars for like 9 months

Thats cool. Cedar point has more than just coasters too. Like there is this water ride called Snake River Falls and its one of those big Boats that generate those huge splashes. But this one is huge. This goes way up into these trees and drops at a 60 dagree angle. Its sweet. There is a cool water park there too called Soak City. But it cost extra to go in like 12.00.

So there is a lot there too. We also have an indoor coaster called Disaster Transport. Its like Space Mountain but a little bit shorter.

There are a lot of cool rides at Cedar Point. Though your park sounds cool too. You can get season passes at Cedar Point but it is like around what your price is. Last summer I had a season pass for Cedar Point.

My favorite rollercoasters are

"the goliath" at six flags [in cali]

and 'The beast' in coney island. It's not really scary, but it's an old wood rollercoaster that lasts about five minutes. Both aspects of the ride are appealing to me.
