Oh, those are wild! I like the part on the Everest one where they come out of the tunnel and the track up ahead is all twisted and broken. :faint2:
Are you a fan of coasters, Beckie? Have you been on any of these?

Actually I am terrified of coasters, lol. I just like watching them. They make me sick in my stomach so I can't ride them. :(

I absolutely LOVE the roller coaster rides!! My friends and I used to go to the Six Flags all the time. One of my girlfriends in HS was a cheerleader, she used to go there all the time for the cheerleader competitions. I would always tag along...any chance I would get. LOL!! Watching the rides on videos don't really give you the thrills though, it's not the same when you're actually on the ride. :woohooo:

I can agree...but I'm not a fan of coasters, either. I like watching shows about them (like "the top ten" etc), but I'm not really one for *scary* rides. In fact, the last time I went to an amusement park, I had more fun playing games then actually going on rides. I'm really adventurous, huh?

The last coaster I went on was my least favorite. It felt like multiple car wrecks. I'm serious. it was no fun at all! THAT was my last coaster ride. Can't remember what it was called but it was at Astro World in Houston Texas
My fav was at Disney Land (or was it Universal Studios?) in the late 70s. It was a Star Wars theme and it was indoor- pitch black- except "stars". You had no idea where you were going- up - down- it was terrifyingly fun! I screamed and laughed the whole ride through! it felt like you were just hurtling through space. Well, I guess it did, I've never ACTUALLY hurtled through space before so I wouldn't really know. ~ Smile ~

I HATE roller coasters!!
“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
I used to be afraid of them, and then I rode one, and I loved them. I started off on a small one, which was called The Scooby Doo, after the cartoon character. It's in a local amusement park called Kings Dominion, so if anyone here has been there, you know what I am talking about. I loved it, and then I went to the Rebel Yell.

I used to go all the time to Six Flags lol. My favorite thrill coaster is Viper :sillySmiley: I first got on the Revolution to warm up, lol and then headed to Viper. Here is a video (don't like the music on it too much because of the screaming lol) I found of Viper that gives different views of it.
