Roller coasters are totally awesome, all except Superman at Six Flags Magic Mountain. That's less of a roller coaster and more of a suicide attempt.

I have to go on them, and learn to like them. If I don't, my dad gives me all this crap and stuff. But I prefer the wooden ones myself. HersheyPark and Cedar Point have the best coasters im my opinion. Not too painfull, but really fun and exciting.

How is that a suicide attempt? I thought it was fun.

I'll go on anything with a seat belt/harness.

lol, I agree. I recently went to Magic Mountain, and fortunately Superman was closed, so I didn't have to on it.
Something about rocketing towards the end of the track up in the air at 100 mph doesn't appeal to me.
I love most rollercoasters though. That's why we went to Six flags! The higher and faster - the better!
The only one I didn't want to go on was X, because the seats rotate, and you're "floating" to the side of the track! Scary!

I'd go on them, any day, any way. At Six Flags Magic Mountain, me and my only thrill seeking sister went on 90% of the big coasters. NOw we're discussing a trip to Ceder Point, Ohio, and ride all the record breakers there

I was never on a roller coster until 2 months ago. I am hooked on them now. The first one I went on (which was small/medium) had the effect on me as 3 gallons of caffiene.
My favorites are the Raging Bull and Batman at Six Flags Great America.

I love roller Coasters. Here's a tip for Thrill Ride lovers, if you're ever in Belgium, go to the Bellewaerde Park. It's a Zoo and a Theme Park in one! It has one of the best Water Coasters in the world and it is built on Europes largest Waterfall! anyway, here are some of my favorite Roller Coasters and Water Coasters.
Space Mountain (Disneyland Paris) - This ride is fantastic. It's not like the American one as you actually go to the top of the track and then you go almost straight down and then you go straight into a Loop!
Nemesis (Alton Towers) - Fantastic. Absolutly fantastic. Ride it.
The Pepsi Max Big One (Blackpool Pleasure Beach) - Fantastic ride also. It may not go upside down, but it still is fantastic!
Irn-Bru (Blackpool Pleasure Beach) - This ride, although short, is good. It's the ride that was used on Jim'll Fix It for the kids eating!
Rockin Roller Coaster (Disney MGM Studios) - This ride is the daddy of coasters. If you don't ride this, you will be classified as a weakling!
Boomerang (Bellewaerde Park) - This ride is fantastic. You go forward up a hill and then you are released and you go flying backwards back into the station before going out the otherside and going into a loop and a corkscrew, then doing it all over again forwards.
Niagra (Bellewaerde Park) - Built on the largest waterfall in Europe, this ride has a massive drop and I guarentee you will be soaked to the inside of your bone!
Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom Backwards (Disneyland Paris) - Does exactly what it says on the tin. 'Nuff said.
Dragon Khan (Universal Port Aventura) - This roller coaster at one point held the record for the most inversions on a single ride (7). I can't really explain how much this ride is fantastic, so I'll let this picture do the talking. http://mike0605.future.easyspace.com/Ssar/Rpics/Dk.htm
The Incredable Hulk (Universal Isles Of Adventure) - This roller coaster is one mean green exciting machine. If you are going to ride this make sure you have a sick bag on stand-by.
Dueling Dragons. Best to ride this with a friend on the other coaster and at the front' If you do this, you will scream like a baby.
there are probably tonnes more but I can't think right now.

Urgh, I wish you had told me that a few years ago! It was my VERY first roller coaster ever. It scared me to death and I threw up EVERYWHERE when I came off. People were walking by and laughing at me
It put me off for life.
I generally dislike any coaster that goes upside-down after the Hulk fiasco BUT (and I hope you're all proud of me!) I went to Alton Towers today and I went on Air!!
It was quantum good and you've all gotta go on it if you ever get the chance. It's not scary but it's a novel experience I can tell you that! So yayness for me

I love going on rollercoasters and I feel the bigger and faster the rollercoaster is, the better.

I love Rollercoasters. lol like Cyanna said, as long as it has a seat belt/harness I'll go on it.

Love them. The bigger and faster they are, the more I like them.
Was just at Hershey Park. I rode on Storm Runner at night. Nothing like going from 0 to 76 mph in 2 seconds.
