Roller Coasters'?

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

I certainly think so. Fast enough and bad enough. Front car, after dark with the lights on... going into the tunnels. Nothing beats it. And the ride takes over 4 minutes...so it's hardly one of those little "oh my god is it over already?" kind of rides 🙂

You all have convinced me that I must someday ride The Beast! :wooha:

Well, stop on by because it's in my neck of the woods 🙂

I know I want to ride it too but I think it far away from me

ROAD TRIP! All you gotta do is get over to Pensacola(Florida), and then we'll haul ass up to Ohio, QBB! I have a minivan, we can pick up other Theater goers on the way up! :driving:

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

That would be so freakin awesome!!!

 

[mikepd]

damn it! Im too far north to be on the way. I suppose I could just drive there its prolly only a 4-5 hour drive for me. unlike rick which would be im guessing 14 hours prolly more

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

Depending on our route, we could theoretically pass through like, eight states on the way up to Ohio. :auto:

 

[mikepd]

when is this adventure happening? I'm assuming next summer.

 

[desdemona]

From FL to OH: Go through GA, TN, KY to reach SW Ohio/Cincinnati. Racine is in the southern part of the state I assume (I've been to WI a few time, but it's been awhile) - you'd be passing through the corner of IL, IN, then down to OH. We can plan it for a weekend sometime next summer if you'd like 🙂 We had a blast when we went to KI and Cedar Point.

i don't love them or hate them.
i go on them... think about flying out and dying during the entire ride... then get off and go "oh, well i guess that was... fun".

:lol :lol :lol

 

[jk666uk]

Hate.
Simply because the height/size restrictions prevent me from going on them. 🙁

same here budweiserbob

Awesome! We'll crash on Desdemona's floor while we're there! :bouncy:

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

I like them..last time i rode in one was at Kennywood Park in Pittsburgh, PA...the Thunderbolt a wooden roller coaster..i'm afraid i rode the entire ride with my eyes shut lol..i've never been on a steel roller coaster...i know it's a smoother ride, but that going upside down bit...hmm nope..

 

[mikepd]

Just do it ya big scaredy cat. It's fun.

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

It sounds scary but it is over so fast you don't really have enough time to be scared.You should try it.Worst thing that can happen is you are scared for what will feel like at most a min. before it is over and that will be it.My friend and I rode on one that went upside down and only had a lap bar.We were so scared before because we thought the lap bar was not sufficient enough to hold us in but it was over so fast and we loved it.

Here's a question for the rollercoaster fans:

Would you be the "test-rider" on a newly built coaster? i.e.- the first person to try it out/make sure there are no issues with the attraction? :wooha:

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

No way.The heck with that,I like my head thank you very much. I bet they get paid well though

I just got back from Six Flags here in Illinois. I had the flash pass, so we got to skip most of the lines.

I rode the following:
Dark Knight - so not worth the wait.
Batman - amazing, but pretty short.
Superman - I rode this when I was 16 and thought it was amazing. I must have aged 20 years in the past 6, because I almost started crying on it I was so scared.
Raging Bull- Positively my favorite. Rode it twice.
Demon- Again, another coaster I thought was really fun, except this time it was totally boring.
Viper - I usually don't like wooden roller coasters because they're rickety and old, but this one was fun.

We rode a few other carnival like rides that spin around a bunch.

I didn't puke, faint, or pee on myself, so that's always a plus.

I am worn the fuck out though. G'night. 🙂

 

[mikepd]

I like going on sky trek tower for some reason.

I don't do well on those spinning ones AT ALL. :ack2:

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

Here's yet another reason to love rollercoasters. :thumbsup

[Frost King]
