Who else has been to one.

i go to six flags like twice a week because i have season passes and its pretty fun. went on every ride at least twice but still cant find a big thrill. My favorite ride is raging bull.At its peak you can see Lake Michigan which freaks the hell out of me considering its like 20 miles away,and Superman is really great because it gives the illusion that your flying.its funny when people loose there change on the ride.Im going to Ceder Point in a few weeks and am going to ride the millenium Force which is 310 feet tall and goes 93 mph.cant wait.every time i go i win at least 2 prizes.usually basketball games. anyone else have any scary rides to share or experiences.

I've been to alot of them. The one in Atlanta, St. Louis, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Louisville, Chicago and I think that's it. None of the rides really give me a big thrill either and I don't see why people are scared of roller coasters so much. I guess you can say the best thrill are the rides that take you straight up and drop you straight down on a tower. Those are the type of rides that give you the most thrills, but I like riding roller coasters for fun not for thrills.

I've been to a few. Six Flags New England, Hersey Park and Dorney Park in Pennsylvania, Kings Dominion in Virginia, and a few smaller parks. My favorite roller coaster is problably Superman at SFNE (unfortunately it's not the one that you ride in like Superman), Flight of Fear or Volcano (both at King's Dominion).

We have the Corkscrew in Australia, all the way north in the state of Queensland. I went on it, it was OK i guess. Warner Brothers Movie World is probably where I got the most fun. The Lethal Weapon ride was quite fun and the Wild Wild West ride was enjoyable. Wet 'n' Wild Water World was ok but it was raining that day :( there were some good water slides and the Wave pool that makes waves. Dreamworld is the biggest there and that's where Big Brother Australia is filmed.

Preparation will only take you so far. After that you've got to take a few leaps of faith.
