Favorite Rollercoasters
Sort:
My favorite is Iron Gwazi
Also, how do you not like loops?
I don't like any disorienting feelings of inversions. Or circular motion in general. Even the sideways helix on Nitro occasionally makes me grey out. It's always weird how I see all these kids enthusiastically running to go on coasters full of terrifying loops and corkscrews yet get freaked out by El Toro, Fury 325, or Skyrush.
Like this is fine:
But this is a big nope:
Loops are only scary if you’re not used to them
I’m nice you ride them a few times, you get used to the feeling and it just gets fun
Is that the one in Shanghai, where you actually sit on it like a motorcycle and it accelerates you around? Saw a video of that one once really cool.
Idk why that autocorrected to I’m nice

I do get what the kids are saying tho
It’s a lot less scary to go upside down for a quarter of a second then to free fall for 2 or 3

Dang why couldn't they have had that when I went in 2013? Space Mountain is lame by comparison. Expedition Everest was ok though.

It's actually a good 5-6 second sustained free fall on Fury325, and at an 81 degree angle! But I don't get why people find dropping scarier than being flipped all around where you can't even tell which way you're going?

Sorry for getting the time wrong
Tallest drop I’ve gone on is 200ft at 90 degree and 206 at 91 degree, both lasting 3 or so seconds, cuz those are the largest ones in my area
It’s mainly because once ur used to it, u don’t notice the flipping and whatnot, but you always feel the drop
And people are probably scared of heights

Whenever I go to my local amusement park, an inverted coaster with 7 inversions feels tamer compared to a b&m dive coaster, which is twice as tall
Those dive coasters tend to have inversions though, often something like a vertical drop right into a half loop with a twist or something. I'm the opposite, I don't really feel drops much anymore, but have also been getting in shape running 5ks once or twice a week, so my physical tolerance is much higher probably. Even Fury 325 after riding it 3 times or so the drop was nothing after that, but the speed never got boring! But the back rows always are more intense on the drops cause they get flung over faster from being pulled down by the rest of the train.
Mine is Fury 325 and it's not even close. The sense of speed plus that skydiving style drop is just insane. I took a trip to Charlotte from NYC a few years ago just to ride that about 100 times! Otherwise the closest rollercoasters to me are at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ, but I refuse to go on upside down ones as that's more disorienting and sickening than even 300+ foot drops. So I just go on Nitro/El Toro (was there today actually)but those rides are too easy. They need to build a 200+ mph launch coaster in Manhattan NYC that swerves, drops, and speeds between all the skyscrapers, that would be cool. One of these days I gotta get out to Cedar Point to try out that new Top Thrill coaster, but ain't ever going on those looping ones, don't know how anyone tolerates those lol!
