Roller Coasters and other thrill rides?

Is any one a Roller Coaster enthusiast?

or a thrill ride JUNKIE?


What's your favorite ride?

I LOVE to ride Sheikra at TB Busch Gardens ( pardon the corny music)

On the ride you only hear screams and explatives

I love them. Can't get enough. Too bad Sweden doesnt have any really really cool ones.

Re: Roller Coasters and other thrill rides?

So glad we have coaster enthusiasts!

OK, another ride fromBusch Gardens Tampa Bay is MONTU

It's an inverted roller coaster, you are HANGING from the rails rather than riding on them.

Most thrilling part (s):

Initial free fall drop and the amazing inverted loop ( you ride on the OUTside of the loop) called Immelmann ( a pilot ).


From the gound ( pardon again the corny music)



and from the ride ( this time no explatives )

Balder is okay, you get tired of it pretty quickly. Kanonen has potential with that acceleration, but it's way too small and short. Hangover had some potential too. Liseberg needs something in real international scale, now that would be cool

Holly Moly, is it me or is Balder the same coaster as GWAZI at Busch Gardens? It wooden, big noisy and re-aranges your spine pretty badly.

You won't see me on a roller coaster! They scare me silly; the lack of control frightenings me.

That Montu coaster looks pretty cool though.

Re: Roller Coasters and other thrill rides?

The best rollercoasters I've had a ride in was in Six Flags Great Adventure, Jackson, NJ. There are no big ones in Finland...
