Favorite Rollercoasters
Sort:
If it was over 500 feet, u could probably pass out every time
Since the past 3 days, have u tried inversions yet?
I still don’t understand how u are fine with the stomach dropping feeling of a drop, but not the tamer stomach dropping feeling of a much tamer loop
Nah I'm good, too scary! I would prefer to try out more of the family-coasters similar to Fury 325 like Millenium Force, Orion, Intimidator 305, Top Thrill 2, Skyrush..etc, which like Fury 325 also don't have any of those demented elements!
With drops you eventually would hit terminal velocity after falling, usually around 120-130 mph, after that you wouldn't keep accelerating and just feel weightless I guess. It's more the G forces from pulling up sharply out of a long drop that cause the greying out, not the drop itself (from my experience). The G forces are from taking the swerves at high speed, whereas the drop you're just falling at 1 G (or less depending on the steepness).

Idk
I’ve never passed out on a coaster b4 so I can’t compare (I nearly have, my vision almost fully blackened, but I’ve never fully blacked out)
Also, how the heck is top thrill 2 a family coaster?

I've never found drops sickening, even when I wasn't used to coasters yet, more just a little pressure feeling in your head, and after like 3 rides on something don't really feel the drop much at all then. Being upside down along with the circular motion is just much more disorienting, even doing summersaults as a kid in gym I didn't like cause of how weird it felt. Just something so much more unnatural about being upside or doing the whole motion of flipping over, foward or backward. Dropping you're just accelerating but in the down direction, not that big of a deal.
Idk what ur going on to think that, but nearly all inversions on coasters are smooth and feel natural
(I do know that some u can really feel and are uncomfortable, one of em is at my home park, but the rest u don’t feel at all, and can’t tell ur upside down)

Eh from the looks of it, it doesn't do anything weird, even the launches are gradual (75 mph in 7 seconds and then slowly building up speed each pass up to 120 mph, not extreme acceleration like kingda ka used to be for example).

What do you mean you can't tell you're upside down, it doesn't feel like you are? Or just that it's too quick to notice?
U roll backwards up nearly 400 feet…
I don’t think little Timmy who just graduated 1st grade is gonna be going on that anytime soon

It’s usually both
There are some exceptions, like Velocicoaster and Tigris, as well as the starting loop on most inverted coasters, but u usually don’t feel anything

Eh it doesn't go to the very top of the spike, more like 340-350 feet, watching the on ride pov it looks like you're still only falling for a few seconds. Actually when I was doing Fury 325 dozens of times there were tons of kids in the line each time. In fact the first time I rode it right when it opened so it was just me and 2 little kids in the front row, and I actually screamed on the 1st drop cause I wasn't used to it yet, and they didn't lol.
I don’t think u get what a family coaster is
A family coaster is something like Hiccup’s dragon coaster or whatever it is called at the end Epic Universe park

A 340-350 foot drop is not something for little Timmy who just graduated 1st grade
Nah anything under 150 feet isn't even a "thrill ride" at all. Not saying kids should try the ones I listed as their 1st coaster ever, but basically 250-350 feet is just average/moderate these days. A true "top thrill" coaster would accelerate to 200 mph in 12-15 seconds, be over 500 feet high, and have relentless speed, airtime, high-G Force swerves, while combining all the best elements of all the existing gigacoasters in one very long 5+ miles ride that never lets up (but no upside down sections lol). For kid who's never ridden a coaster, you can start with like an 80-100 foot one a few times (kiddie coasters) then a few 100-200 foot ones, and then ones like Fury 325.

I'm pretty young, so I haven't ridden a ton of famous roller coasters around the United States. However, my favorite one I've ridden is 'Steel Vengeance' in Cedar Point, Ohio. It's a great ride with a lot of airtime, and it's pretty fast! The line is always at least an hour long, but it's worth it for sure.
Here are some records that it broke, according to the internet.
World's tallest hybrid roller coaster at 205 feet tall.
World's fastest hybrid roller coaster at 74 mph.
World's steepest drop on a hybrid roller coaster at 90 degrees.
World's longest drop on a hybrid roller coaster 200 feet.
World's longest hybrid roller coaster at 5,740 feet.
Most inversions on a hybrid roller coaster at four.
Fastest airtime hill on a hybrid roller coaster at 74 mph.
Most airtime on a hybrid roller coaster at 27.2 s.
Most airtime on any roller coaster at 27.2 s.
World's first hyper hybrid roller coaster
I also liked 'Lightning Rod' in Dollywood Park, in Tennessee.
Never been on a rollercoaster. I’m scared of getting motion sick and throwing up

2 good choices! And from the videos I've seen SV just twists in barrel rolls, not loops, I'd be more willing to try out those types of inversions before circular loops. I read lightning rod they removed that rapid launch up the lift hill and it's a boring chain lift now lol.
Well as I said Nitro has a helix and if I clench my legs a little and breathe faster it eliminates the greying out alot of the time. Also greyed out my very first time on Fury 325 as the train was pulling out of the drop into the first sharp turn, but after that never again lol. Other than that I love the simulated skydiving feeling, wish that 81 degree was totally vertical and over 500 feet high!
