Oh, I love 'em! At our local Six Flags Amusement Park in St. Louis, we have a few roller coasters that are a "must see" every time we go: The Batman and Mr. Freeze. We always ride in the front with both rides for the extra thrills, too.
When we took our two oldest boys to Florida for vacation in June, we went on the Tower of Terror at MGM Disney...........I think my absolute favorite ride ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER. The special effects, the storyline, and the fact that you're in pitch black when the elevator drops for a free fall is just the coolest.
But I have to give props to The Mummy ride at Universal Studios. It's an indoor roller coaster - no loops or corkscrews - that goes around 45-50mph, but it's the special effects that make the ride so friggin' awesome.
Talking about roller coasters turn me into a giddy pre-teen kid, and I wind up saying "awesome", "coolest", and "sweet!" most times.
Great thread!!
