The Swiss Bob (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Track) in the Efteling. The rest gets me to puke.

I love roller coasters as long as they're not wooden. Wooden ones hurt my head from the shaking. I don't know if I have a favorite, they're all unique.

Gosh....no!!!! I've been to cedar point several times...once with a class and all my friends wanted to go on the Raptor first....I cried....and then I went on the Mantis...not as bad....but I will never ever go on the ones that drop really far down like the Magnum.

I'll go on them if my friends want...but I don't think the thrill is worth a sometimes 2 hour wait in line....it doesn't do anything for me, really....plus I scream really really loud and shout profanities....on them...

I hate them but unfortunately I've had to ride on them because of the kids. The last one was a smaller one in Arhus two years ago. Fortunately they're teenagers now and wouldn't be seen dead with me on a rollercoaster:D

The worst was at Eurodisney I think three years ago. It was enclosed and there seemed an eternity of loop the loops:eek:

No they are scary to be in, and if something goes wrong well you know the result.

Not a roller coaster but fun nonetheless. You can take the girl there because I think it's rather romantic:

Went there with freinds about five years ago, I never went on and watched instead. Everyone screaming lol.

The Dragon Kahn is another I didn't bother with at PortAventura Catalonia. Fuck that!

Meh, I don't care too much for them. In the city where I grew up, we used to have this awesome theme park that was strictly for animals, there are aquariums, and animal shows, like lions and tigers, birds, whales and dolphins, and it was totally awesome going there, I went there all the time with my family. And then in the late 90's, Six Flags bought it, and added all of these retarded roller coasters, and it freaked the animals out. It felt so retarded that they had had to add roller coasters in order to keep the park open. It felt like such a sell out.

Sorry for going on a self righteous rant just then, it's getting late...

Are you talking about that place in Vallejo? That was sad.

My favourite theme park used to be Marineland in Palos Verdes, but it was bought out by Sea World sometime in the late 80s and closed soon after.

Wow, you heard about that!? :eek: Yes, it was Marine World, and it used to be really an awesome and unique animal park. I mean, I am glad that the animals are still there and being enjoyed, but it still sucks that they had to use roller coasters to keep the park open. :rolleyes2:

No I hate them. I was made to go on these things when I was a teenager. I went on "space station zero" at Thorpe Park (it's not there anymore), and a small roller coaster at a Welsh beach resort.
