The Roller Coasters/Thrill Rides Thread

Both those rides look awesome. The loop on Son Of Beast is a nice touch.

Well, I'm off to Canada's Wonderland tomorrow. Obviously I'll brag about how awesome it was.

So I leave you with this delicious video of the Behemoth so you can all be jealous of me.

I think I just came a little... that ride looks insane, that first drop was just intense. I wish you a fair trip my good friend, have fun

[Alfred]

Yeah, thanks, I'm so excited for it.

The ride is insane, even better when you ride it. First drop is exhilirating, there's nothing like it.

It would be even more awesome if the loop was still there. =(

They removed it?

Yup, like 3 years ago, there was an accident when the weight of the cars made the track collapse -- the cars had to be so heavy in order to make the loop, so when they switched to lighter cars it had to be taken out.

I live 30 minutes from Cedar Point, which is arguably the best theme park in the world (Most Coasters of any park), so I lost the thrill of Coasters by the time I reached high school because I'd go 30 or so times a year. Millennium Force is easily the best coaster I've ever been on.

I've been to CP once, and I can see how you could become spoiled. I'm still having withdraws, hopefully I'll get to visit again this year though... it's just so damn far away.
