The Roller Coasters/Thrill Rides Thread

[Guybrush]

There are not that many rollercoasters in Norway, so I guess taking up a thrill rides hobby here isn't going to be anywhere as fruitful as it could be in America. The most exciting thing I've been in is this :



It's called Speedmonster and is in the Tusenfryd theme park not far from Oslo. It's quite thrilling and so fast you barely know what's going until the ride is finished. It starts like a bullet and it's all over a bit too fast. I like those that build a little suspense before you're thrown into the rush.

I tried bobsleigh once, though. That was also fast and fun.

You ever been to Schlitterbons I think it is called? I always used to see it on the best parks show on tv, and it looked pretty sweet.

Being the tallest and fastest coaster in the world doesn't make it anymore fun than any other coaster.

I go to Kings Island often. The Beast is legendary, best ride in the park and too popular to be torn down.





You'r out in the middle of nowhere deep in the woods for most of the ride, it's awesome.

other favorite rides are:

Millennium Force:


AND

Goliath:

I still like the Magnum better. Especially when I compare the first time I rode each. The M-Force is fantastic but it's a little to clean a ride for my liking.

i think that's part of the draw. 90+ MPH and no jerk to speak of. the accelerated lift is pretty sweet too.

the accelerated lift is pretty sweet too.

That's awesome because slow lifts really piss me off. It drives me crazy going up 230 feet while some enthusiastic voice says "Welcome to Behemoth! During the ride remain seated and hold onto your lapbar until the ride comes to a complete stop. Thank you, and enjoy your ride!"
