Best Theme park ride?
 
Whats the best theme park ride you have been on?

One of the best in the UK is nemesis and oblibion at alton towers. But i've heard the new rides are even more amazing. Pity these two only last 20 seconds.

Oblibion:

Main part: verticle drop then swings round to start again cry:

at the top it stops and says "dont look down" which is a pretty neat feature.

Nemesis:
Pretty good ride, but very short

Kennywood's the Jack Rabbit. Almost flew out of my seat as a kid and died rock:

I'm a huge fan of wooden coasters, i don't need some bad ass state of the art ride to have fun.

Poseidon 10-03-2005 10:10 AM

^ Hah, awesome. I gotta admit there is always room in my heart for a wooden coaster. Its something about their unstable feeling, like as though its gonna collapse/derail any second that gets my adrenaline running.

The wooden coaster at Fairyland Park was always fun, but it closed in 69 or 70. There was a wooden coaster I rode in San Diego in 73 or 74 that was a lot of fun also. Riding those coasters was like taking your life because they shook, rattled, and rolled. Scarier than any metal coaster.

Volcano at kings dominion, takes you to 0-70 in 3 seconds, than it takes you straight up and shoots you out of the volcano...pic here:

Mine Buster at Canadas wonderland.

Don't really remember any othe ramusment parks besides disney world/mgm...and new york new york hotel in las vegas.

The Mine Buster left me with a sore neck and back for a week..

I like the vortex and top gun

Top Gun® is Canada's only inverted looping jet coaster. This mega coaster simulates flight with speeds of 90km/h, exhilarating 90-degree vertical climbs, barrel rolls, inverted wing loopovers, a 270-degree after burn and a complete snap roll over. Riders take flight in a fully open cockpit suspended beneath the coaster's steel track as the sky races below.

On Vortex, riders will enjoy the thrills of Canada's first suspended roller coaster. This steel coaster plunges over Wonder Mountain, reaching speeds of 90km/h. Vortex's invisible track drives riders through unrelenting turns, swooping, diving and plunging over a scenic waterscape.

My favorite is probally the Serial Thriller at Geague Lakes.

However, I've been to Cedar Point and the Top Thrill Dragster looks like fun.

Yea, six flags over texas is a nice park, havent been there in quite a while though...

Texas Giant owned though, nice wooden roller coaster, made your teeth rattle. Pretty fast and also a long ride compared to the rides that take like 2 seconds rolleyes:
