Here Today... Gone To Hell!

So what are the best rides you've been on? and where?

My fav. theme parks are Alton Towers and Blackpool Pleasure beach in the UK.

my fav rides are;

Nemesis-Alton Towers
Stormforce ten-Drayton Manor Park Uk
Irn Bru-Blackpool
Pepsi Max- Blackpool

It was cool in Blackpool as my hotel, the Big Blue Hotel btw was right next to the theme park and my cousins had a view of the snake ride.

I'm going to Flamingoland in 3 weeks and shitting it lol.

It's pretty good I've been before, the cliffhanger there is the craziest and it's not even a rollercoaster. 150ft (give or take) tower that just shoots you up and then lets you drop back down again.

the aerosmith rollercoaster at MGM disney land i did like that

Bucketheadland  :)

Dorney Park in PA-My favorite ride is The Hydra

One of the hotels in Las Vegas has a rollercoaster coming out the side of it, that's definately one of the best i've been on.  Also Nemesis and Oblivion are both fantastic, though Oblivion is much too short.

I really wanna go to Blackpool but just haven't got around to it yet.  I hear the Pepsi Max is something else! : ok:

Alton Towers is my favourite place to go.

Universal Studios - Orlando: Spiderman 3D
Universal Studios - Orlando & Hollywood: Mummy the Ride

Six Flags Great Adventure-Great American Scream Machine (Classic)

Six Flags Great Adventure- KINGDA KA!!!!!!!!

I went to florida a while ago and i remember two great attractions but don't know where they're at or what they're called (HELP ME PLZ??)

First was a big elevator with the twilight zone theme where you'd drop a big way down!!!
second a big theater where you sit around in a circle and it's emulating an alien attack where all the lights go down and you heard him walking around in speakers behind your ears and shit like that!!!!

The Tower of Terror is in Disney MGM

I forget the name of the second ride but I believe that is in Magic Kingdom

the 4 huge rollercoasters at Bush Gardens, in Tampa Bay, Florida (I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina)

* Montu
* Kumba
* Skorpion
* Python

and the Twilight Zone Tower Of Terror at MGM  :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

WOLLY WORLD!! : ok: : ok:

Tower Of Terror - Dreamworld

The Leathel Weapon - Movie World

some theme park in japan.. I can't remember the name nor the name of the huge coaster that i rode there.. to much habu saki!!

Gotta be Nemesis  : ok:

The Pepsi Max looks as freaky as hell. Biggest rollercoaster in UK and possibly one of the biggest in Europe and the world. It takes like a minute as it slowly rolls you to the peak and then you take ya first drop. Never as bad as it looks.

Cedar point, Sandusky, Ohio-awsome Roller Coasters

Rio Water Planet  : ok:

and Indiana Jones @ Disneyland Paris.

Disney MGM Studios - Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

The best themepark has to be "The Efteling" for me. It has a history you won't find somewhere else. The park became famous of its forest with fairytales. The park is extended with thrill rides through the years but they never forgot their roots. The ambiance is just great. Kinda midle-age, lot of nature and some unique attractions nowhere to be found in the rest of the world.

Favourite attraction.. hmm, not so easy to decide. Dreamflight and Fata Morgana and the last addition "Meisje met de Zwavelstokjes". (Girl with the matchsticks, a fairytale.)
Funny though my favourite thrill ride is Tonnierre de Zeus in Parc Asterix. It's a blast for those who like woodies.

Favorite them park has to be Disneyland.

They just opened Tower of Terror at Disney California Adventure.  Its just a little bit different than the Florida version, but it's still probably the best ride there.

But my favorite ride will always be Pirates of the Carribbean.

I haven't been to all that many theme parks.

- Canada's Wonderland
- Walt Disneyworld
- MGM Studios
- Epcot Centre
- Universial Studios (both parks)

However, my favourite ride is the Aerosmith Rollercoaster.  Holy cow... talk about intense acceleration!!!!  I can't believe I was talked into going on that ride 2x.  I don't think I'd ever ride it again.  It was too crazy fast. 

Sorry... when it comes to rides, I am a bit of a wuss :)

those of you who have been to blackpool,have ye seen them FUKIN HORSES? :rant:.i think its called the "derby something",it looks like a kids ride but when your on it at about 30 ft in the air and you come to a bend,fuk me fire wind and water its scary? :nervous:

The Hulk at Universal Studios in Orlando!? ?:D

Someone take me to Six Flags, pretty please?? ?:-[

Alright.

Thorpe Park, UK - Collossus
Chessington, UK - Samurai
Islands of Adventure, USA - Dualing Dragons
Islands of Adventure, USA - The Hulk
Alton Towers - Air
Alton Towers - Nemesis
Blizzard Beach, USA - Mt. Gushmore <--- Absolutely insane water ride.
Seaworld, USA - Kraken

My favorite was when Paramount's Great America was Mariott's Great America in the 1980's/early 90's. I went there quite a few times, and probably my favorite was The Edge. Four people are in a cage and it takes you way up high, and then a huge freefall. Eerie ride. The cage felt like a coffin to me. It was actually a coffin for some people, because some people were killed on this ride. It is no longer at the theme park. Another fave is Top Gun. A black coaster where your feet just dangle out. Really fast, and it was built over some pond, and at certain points in the ride, you come very close to skimming the water. Another favorite, and most people who have been there loved it, was The Tidal Wave. Just a basic coaster, and after doing loops, it went in reverse and brought you back to the start. They replaced it for one of their newer rides.

They also had the best $9 plate of nachos I ever ate. :hihi:

the horses were hilarious man

Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce in good ole Bristol, CT (one of the best wooden coasters in the world)

Spidey 3d at Universal

Everest at Disney's Animal Kingdom (we got a sneak peak ride back in late Jan)

Kraken at Seaworld:Orlando.

My favorite Theme Park would have to be one of the Disney parks down in Orlando...too tough for me to choose a favorite.

I've never been to alton towers or anywhere interesting :(  I've been to flamingoland, though!  The bullet was my favourite, but I hear they no longer have it :(  How crap am I!?!

Let's go together!  Six Flags first!   :D

I don't like rides, they scare me :nervous:.. :-\

Disney World is nice, but always over crowded. The Six Flaggs place is fun too.

The best rides - Tower of Terror and The Mind Bender and that ship that swings all the way around.


What about the bumper cars? Or the senior citizen train ride? Those are fun.

i have vertigo and i am affraid.

oh yeah, bumper cars rule! :smoking:

You gotta go during the "right" time of year.  The busy season (school breaks, summers, etc) are just maddeningly busy.

We've found that the end of Sept- Early Oct and the week AFTER Thanksgiving til about a week BEFORE X-mas are great times to go.  There's some times in march and april that aren't bad, too...you just gotta time your visits to miss the school breaks.

It's still busy, but during those times we never wait more than 10 min or so for most of the rides. 

Yeah, I have Season Passes for Universal Studios. If you check to see when they have blackout dates for the lower level passes, those are the days you dont want to go anyway because it is crowded. There have been many times I have gone up in the morning and went through both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure easily in one day.

I'm going to Alton Towers today!? I only decided to go yesterday so i'm well excited. :rofl:
