I think roller coasters should've been a fetish option in the other thread. At least for me.

Went to my first theme park when I was 18, and it was a trip to Kings Island, a night ride on the The Beast is easily the sexiest thing in the world. =) Cedar Point was fun too... But they were a little less lax on drinking rules than KI, which took some of the fun out of it for me. Also been to Holiday World, and most recently Dollywood. Ended up in the hospital after HW, my abdomen was bruised for weeks.

Literally five minutes from my house, there's a little park called Beech Bend, with a wooden coaster, the Kentucky Rumbler, very convenient, and way too much fun.

Kings Island is my home away from home though... counting down the days until I get to go again, and the second week in June is much too far away.


(BTW, in my first Magnum experience, there was a path of blood leading to the ride, which probably would've deterred a normal person -- but it was still f'in awesome.)

That's unfortunate. And I've never been on a motorcycle... are you hinting at something? =)

There's a video floating around somewhere out there, came across it on a roller coaster forum, can't find it now, but this chick, Amy Wolfe, who's an objective-sexual, is infatuated with this carnival ride, 1001 Nacht... I don't think I'll ever appreciate thrill rides quite the way she does... but just goes to prove the power of a little acceleration.

ah, it's not just me though.

since its opening in 2001 the Millennium Force has either placed first or second in the Golden Ticket Awards for the top-rated coaster. of course, the Magnum wasn't far behind, but i find that the M-Force just eclipses it in intensity and fun.

here's last year's list:
Golden Ticket Awards - Top 25 Steel/Wooden Roller Coasters

edit: holy shit, for some reason a coaster from my local park made the top ten. wow.

Damn, that link just introduced me to another one of my favorite rides of all time that I haven't ridden in years!

GhostRider:






Granted, the ride isn't that tall or fast, but it makes brilliant use of clever drops (it'll look like your about to slam into wood, and at the last second you'll drop just missing the wood).

By the way, I agree that MForce is slightly better than Magnum

In the roller coaster's defense, he did have to jump a fence to get his head cut off.
