just looking at it makes me want to puke..,

but I'm still tempted to try.

[slammer111]

That 1st pic is an insane amount of scaffolding. I'd hate to be the guy doing maintenance on it. :eek:

The 3rd pic I believe is called "Superman" right? It's located at Six Flags in Texas if I remember correctly.

[LUUUUUUUU]

1st one is Mellenium Force or something right?

has anyone in here played Rollercoaster Tycoon?

I played that like over 10 years ago. It was actually fun customizing roller coasters.

[jmvdesign]

I've ridden X2 at Six Flags in California several times and if you're a roller coaster fanatic, this is probably the best and scariest roller coaster here in the West Coast. Initially called X in the early 2000's, it was retrofitted with onboard music soundtrack (speakers on the actual seat) and included a pair shooting flames in some part of the track. The fact that the seats rotate 360 degrees makes it fairly unpredictable to see where you're turning and twisting along the track.

Some of those look pretty nuts

Thats probably the most intense coaster I've ever been on. You get off the ride and basically question wtf was that?!

first thing i thought of when i saw these rollercoasters, damn i think i might play it again.

[twitchyzero]

that x2 looks great
only thing that would suck is i imagine the puke to be flying every ride haha

[woob]

Idunno man X2 wasn't that good for me. It felt really gimmicky with the spinny cars. Like the lateral G-forces were there but the thrill of speed + height + insane plunges toward the ground werent. My fav at Magic Mountain was Tatsu. It was fucking insane cuz you were hanging under the track in a lying-down position facing the ground for almost the entire ride. Played with my head so much.

Flying Roller Coasters are my favourite ones, other than good old fashioned wooden ones. I still <3 the Coaster at Playland and Grizzly at Paramount's (now California's) Great America in Cali is fucking BEAST. I banged up my shoulder slamming into the side of the car on one of the turns haha.

EDIT: I also reaaally reaalllly liked The Hulk at Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure in Florida. Instead of pulling you up a hill, the ride has a boosted start. You go from 0-40 in like 2 seconds uphill and immediately drop almost straight down 100+ feet.

My favourite roller coasters:

1) Tatsu (flying) - Six Flags Magic Mountain, Cali
2) Stealth (flying) - California's Great America, Cali (has been relocated to Carowinds Park in North Carolina as Nighthawk)
3) Grizzly (wooden) - California's Great America, Cali
4) The Hulk (steel) - Universal's Islands of Adventure, Florida
5) Coaster (wooden) - Playland, Vancouver

[TRD Rs200]

hmmm, all of them looks fun

[vash13]

Rode this one in Texas. It was a huge rush. The one in the far back.

The Goliath at Six Flags is pretty intense

this has to be one of the craziest and most fun i ever had riding a roller coaster.

And the entrance is pretty epic

[JSALES]

[yellowpower]

ive been on a rollercoaster with someone puking before. Unfortunately it was one of my buddies and I ended up with puke all over my arm.

[twitchyzero]

out of all the six flag theme park i probably went to the crappiest one (Discovery Kingdom near the Bay Area)
i wanna try a few more before they are bankrupt :(

Highly Suggest the Texas Six Flags. They have decent rides and it's nice and HOT there.

[Not really racist!]

hoooly fuck

sick, i wanna fuckin go coaster riding now

[LiquidTurbo]

Lol. The most intense rollercoaster that I've been on (probably weaksauce compared to these), is Medusa at 6 Flags near San Fran. Super fun! There were no lineups so we rode it 3x in a row :D

[Graeme S]

Isn't the second one from the top the T-express in Korea? That was win. 77 Degrees of drop from the beginning. The amusement park is in a kind of hilly area, and the coaster is built at the bottom of the park--when you reach the top of the coaster's first rise, you're above the top of the park. Scary as all motherfuck.

too bad it's such a short ride

[orange7]

Playland should really consider building one of those.

the Corkscrew and Coaster are so boring now.

[shawn79]

those girls on the rollercoaster makes me think their boobs are like.....

Six Flags road trip LOL.

[asahai69]

for some reason. i feel like playing roller coaster tycoon again....

[hotjoint]

I love rollercoasters that you're strapped in tight. I hate the ones where you only have the handle bar to hold onto

[twitchyzero]

http://acidcow.com/pics/20100423/the_scariest_rollercoasters_03.jpg
imagine riding this when a 4.0+ earthquake strikes

[LiquidTurbo]
