Roller coasters

[GirlNextDoor15]

Just read the World's Craziest Roller Coasters (Read it here: http://www.eventective.com/blog/parties/2008/04/16/worlds-craziest-roller-coasters/ ) and to me, those roller coasters are really so damn crazy that they will drive me insane! Lol. But, I'm very interested to know if any of you would actually try roller coasters like that. :) To me, it's a definite "NO"! It's too crazy and I can't handle that lol.

P/s: One of those crazy roller coasters is 45 stories high. Watch the vid clip here if you want. :)

Yeah definitely, that last video and most the one's featured look very similar to Stealth at Thorpe Park, which I must admit isn't too scary seeing as it's over with so quickly. I'd definitely go on all of them, I'm quite tired of rollercoasters in the UK and wanna see more in the US/Germany/Japan, I hear much better things about their ones.

[wiktoria]

WOW I would definitely go on them all seriously I love roller coasters sooooo much

[Narnat,]

I would defo go on that it looks amazing!

[Red]

not a hope in hell id be going on that lmao! The though of them alone make me feel sick.

[Chris]

Wow, some I would go on but some I wouldn't even consider. :L

[Inseriousity.]

depends. ever since the big dipper at blackpool pleasure beach, WHICH JUST HAS A LITTLE BAR to keep you in (that I kept nearly falling out off), ive always been a bit worried about how secure they strap you in. i can only enjoy a ride if im locked in tight lol so yes id go on them cos normally theyre the rides that are the most secure (and for good reason too!).

The number 2 on that list, Millennium Force, I've been on. I hate heights and crap so it was pretty scary, but fun still too.

[NoaJ]

My friends been on a couple of them, and he say there cool. But he is lke a thrill seeker

I would go on 1 or 2

[MizzBex]

I would definately go on them - I love rollercoasters and there always seems to be bigger ones in the USA - I've only been a few times but if i ever go again I'm so gonna try go to one of these theme parks!! :)

Wow. Tori! I wouldn't even consider any of it and you been on almost everything wow! The 45 stories roller coaster seems cool but I can't handle that. I might die you see. Bad things could happen and I can't risk it all just for a stupid ride lol

Yup. It must be very secure but for King Da Ka, you might die during the ride. I can't go on that.

[Waaaak]

If there not too scary, then Im on them, haha. Oh and if I havent eaten either lol.

[Charlottay!]

not a huge fan of roller coasters tbh yet i live close to alton towers. it will be interesting to see if SW7 is crazy after th13teen.

[orientalframe?]

Urgh I cant stand rollercoasters. I think i've only ever been on a big one once, and I threw up everywhere. :$

[buttons]

i would go on it, i like rollercoasters
especially the ones which take pictures and you can get them at the end hahaha they're hilarious, wish i got mine from the one in spain :(
i remember going on one and there were 2 queues, a reallllyy short one and a long one so obv we went in to the short one but didn't realize it was because it was the front seats :( & i do remember one which i was literally falling out of it, awful!! but yeh i would, maybe just once in my life tho

[dbgtz]

I hate everything about rollercoasters, the wait, the ride, the price (of theme parks really). And even if I liked them I wouldn't be allowed on them for like 9 months.

[kuzkasate]

After I went to Russia and went on some dodgy rollercoasters where the man infront of my got tangled up with the metal things holding his seat and the seat behind me snapped off AND I HIT THE TREE BRANCHES AND SCRATCHED MYSELF, I don't feel comfortable going on rides any more :'(

[Jordy]

And even if I liked them I wouldn't be allowed on them for like 9 months.You're pregnant?

[dbgtz]

You're pregnant?

No. I had an op which meant i couldnt do it for a year, and its been 3 months :P

[Mathew]

Yeah sure, I'd try any roller coaster tbh. The amount of planning, time and testing which goes into constructing them is simply staggering, so it would be silly to suggest they're "unsafe". :P

My favourite roller coaster right now is probably Manta at SeaWorld Orlando. It's so smooth and it really does feel like you're gliding through the water like a Manta Ray. :) It's like Air at Alton Towers (where you lay on your front, etc)... but just a lot better! :P

Then after that, I probably like Sheikra at Busch Gardens, Florida next.. it's just a shame that it's quite short. It's quite like Oblivion at Alton Towers, but probably twice as long and a lot better. :P

Thennnnnnn finally, Kraken at SeaWorld Orlando is a classic for us. I remember being too small to ride this when I was younger, then I was finally tall enough and it was soooo good.. especially that very first drop.

Sooooo yeah! :P I'll be doing them all again in August, wooo! :D

[Ms.Aquamarine]

I don't think I could. Everytime I go to an amusement/theme park, I skip the rollercoasters. Too scared to go on lol.

[GirlNextDoor15]

Lol at Mathew. You really enjoy roller coasters, don't you?
Aquamarine, I wouldn't skip roller coasters but I don't think I'll enjoy those dangerous ones as mentioned above. It's too risky and I can't risk it all, sometimes. It depends now. I'm still young :L

[Shar]

I love rollercoasters and would love to go on them! I'm scared of heights but I still love going on them :D

[Accipiter]

Yup. Sounds like you had a lot of fun. Glad to hear that lmao

[Ed.]

Yeah Kingda Ka is just a big Stealth really.. A lot bigger :)

[RockyHorror]

Mehhh. Rollercoasters kind of bore me, they're good for about 10 secs (the time it takes to go round) then you think, is that it?
