I admit i haven't been to too many amusement parks in my life but when i was stationed at Norfolk Naval Shipyards in Virginia we used to always go to Busch Gardens and i always rode the ''Loch Ness'' even though it's not the scariest it was always a blast.

What was your favorite roller coaster ride???


Someone posted the Loch Ness roller coaster ride on youtube so put it on full screen and turn up the volume .

Life. It has unexpected twists and turns and just when you sit back and relax it does something to scare the hell out of you. Plus it's free. Nothing compares.

I have not been to a park or on a coaster in probably close to 10 years. I seem to get headaches from some of the rides anymore. There are some new rides there now that look fun but when it first came out I rode the Magnum many times There are several new ones there I may try if I ever go back to Cedar Point On this link you can click on a coaster and another link will give you a view of the ride from a camera mounted on it.

Roller Coasters, All the Rides, Cedar Point

Do not ride Return of the Mummy! Do not! It's dark and scarey! This combo will have you weeping uncontrollably! Heed my warning or suffer the wrath of...The Mummy!

The Hulk rocks but man that first time catches you way off guard!

When we fo to an amusement park, you can bet Im gonna ride everything there! Im not a real big fan of those upside-down rides but have been on them. We havent been to one in a long time but in the spring will probably go to Magic Mountain, where the Collosus was my all-time favourite.

Favorite Roller Coaster You've Been On
Hmmmm... that's a tough one, I'd say it's either my last relationship with my last girlfriend, or driving on LA's freeways... LOL..

I haven't been on a roller coaster since 1979, and I've never been on those famous ones at theme parks. I've only ridden the ones at the State Fair here in Arizona..

When my kids were younger we went to Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio............Now there were some great roller coasters.The Magnum The Mean Streak and I think at the time about 8 more.
The Magnum at the time had been in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the tallest.
