If you have ever been to one that is.
and name which one(s) you have been to and post a link if you can..
so what's your favorite and least favorite ride?

I have been to Silverwood Theme Park in Idaho and LOVE most of their rides!
here's their website.. http://www.silverwoodthemepark.com/

I LOVE Thunder Canyon, Tremors (I went there for a 4-H activity and actually got stuck at the top.
and guess what I did when we got down from the roller - coaster? I went on it atleast 10 more times.
). I HATE the corkscrew (it's a lame roller - coaster
), the log ride is really fun!
, Timber Terror was fun when I went there with my older brother and my parents they were too chicken to go on it themselves.
and I loved it. I am daring what can I say?
the bumper water cars was really fun! I am sure there are more rides I cannot think of.
but I love most of their rides, except I HATE the corkscrew, because it gives you a headache.

I used to be *terrified* of roller coasters!


A few years ago we went to Cedar Point & Chad MADE me ride the Raptor (my first one ever)- the picture they take of you while you're riding was hilarious!!! I was all scrunched up as small as I could and I had a look of sheer terror on my face
But I realized it was pretty fun and tried a few more! We even waited in line for 4 hours to ride the Millennium Force (when it was new still) and I tried to walk right through when we finally got up there- I was so scared to get on- Chad had to catch me and put me back in the seat
It was terrifying but sooo much fun!


So I don't really have a favorite although I've always liked the Iron Dragon... but I've really only spent 1 day riding coasters. I'll ride them happily next time we go!

I love the spide man ride at universal...along with the men in black ride...



but as of rollercoasters...I like the superman at six flags over georgia...you actually feel like flying since you kind of lay down on the ride....it's pretty scary when you are ascending to the first drop...I am so afraid that they harness of going to come loose and we will just fall...




I miss rollercoasters....but I will have to wait till next year to ride them again

Dragonfyre at Paramount Canada's Wonderland near Toronto. It was the first real rollercoaster I ever went on (the Rudolph Flyer at Santa's Village in Midland, Ontario, doesn't count
) and it remains my favourite. If you stay late at night at Wonderland, you can get to the front of the line on Dragonfyre and ride over and over again -- the other, newer rollercoasters are more popular and have longer lines.

I absolutely LOVE roller coasters. Been to several theme parks over the years...and don't have any links for them. The theme park I havent been to yet, but has been mentioned by some others is Cedar Point...we hope to take the kids there either next summer or the summer after that. Here's the list of the ones I can think of right now that I've been to:
Hershey Park (PA)
Bush Gardens (VA)
Kings Dominion (VA)
Bush Gardens New England (MA)
Lake George (NY)
Darien Lake (NY)
Enchanted Forest (NY)
Disney (FL)
The Larande (Not sure if I spelled it correctly) (In Canada)

cant think of any more right now...

120mph in 3.8 seconds....420 ft high....it's the most awesome coaster out there, and the whole park gets the golden ticket award for #1 amusement park in the world for like 6 years in a row now....

I've only seen one roller coaster in my life, the Mindbender at Galaxyland in the West Edmonton Mall.
There's a platform you can stand on inside one of the loops. I stood there because I was too much of a chicken to go on it. And anyway 3 people died on it which scares the poop out of me... I'm more of a bumper cars kinda gal.
