what is your favorite roller coaster?

MagicalMoments · 06-09-2006

Just got back from Hershey Park and thoroughly enjoyed riding some new roller coasters! Now that I am home, I am thinking about what other parks I could go to and ride some more new coasters. Which leads to my question...what is your all time favorite roller coaster (Disney or not) and where is it located?
My favorite is still the RnR but...a close second is the Wild Cat at Hershey Park.

While I'm not a big fan of roller coasters as such, I absolutely love Space Mountain! Mainly because it's in the dark..................and I LOVE the dark!

My all time favorite coaster is Millenium Force at Cedar Point. You feel like you are really flying when you go down the first hill--especially if you are in the front car. I also like Mantis there because it goes upside down, has some awesome double barrel roles, and it is a stand up coaster. Superman at Fiesta Texas in San Antonio is fun too. Batman, Mr. Freeze, and the Titan are alot of fun at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington is fun too. Sea World in San Antonio has Great White and one that goes upside down--I can't remember the name but it was alot of fun too. In case you can't tell, I just LOVE coasters. If you enjoy coasters, you really should go to Cedar Point. It has more coasters than any other park.

I am not a great fan of coasters but we have a great one here in the UK. At Alton Towers they have "air" you feel like you are flying as you are almost laying down!

I love EE!!! The theming is great, perfect relaly, and it's not so wild that I get TOOO scared!

Expedition Everest!

I love the theming and the mild thrills of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

**ddoll** · 06-10-2006

I'm looking forward to trying EE myself. As much as I love the coasters at Disney, so far the rides are all too short. I want more thrills!!

Dueling Dragons and Kraaken are both really good ones.

KittieKChick · 06-10-2006

RnR for me. I haven't done EE yet, but I'm sure RnR will stay my fav. A close second is Top Gun at Carowinds.

My top favorites are:

Kraaken - Seaworld
Steel Force - Dorney Park
Hydra - Dorney Park

Sorry, Disney coasters just don't cut it. Too short for the 60 minute lines.
I got on Kraaken three times last time I went to Seaworld, each with a line of 15-20 minutes.

That coaster sounds like a lot of fun!

**DisneyTeacher** · 06-10-2006

It's Big Thunder for me, we went on it so many times on our trip a couple of weeks ago. I had more fun watching him than riding the roller coaster.

Great news!! We are not too far from Cedar Point, can easily drive there. Will have to make plans for that! Was there once about 18 years ago. Stayed one night at the hotel on the grounds. But things have really changed there since then!

There's a small park near my home in Pittsburgh, PA called Kennywood Park. The Thunderbolt Coaster there is my alltime favorite. It's one of the oldfashioned Wooden Rollercoasters so it makes those great clanking racheting noises as you are climbing the hills before the big drops. Its incredibly fast and you really aren't strapped in like some of the metal coasters which put big clamp things on your shoulders and always seem to strain my neck. The Thunderbolt used to win best coaster in the country awards in the past, but that was a lotta years ago. If you are in the area though, it's still worth a visit as they also have several other good coasters and a reproduction of the old Luna Park which stood on the site with vintage midway rides.

Has anyone been on Kingda Ka Six Flags in New Jersey (I think)? Just the video of the ride gives me chills!
