Scariest rollercoasters I've been on?

The Incredible Hulk in Orlando really killed me. The speed on that shizzle is intense. And also, Raging Bull when I went to visit my cousins in Illinois.

What about your's?

I'm not much of one for rollercoasters.
I went on the Rock'N'Rollercoaster tongue.gif
I did some other junk, like the tower of terror type thing next to the Hulk - that damn near killed me.

Ha, those aren't too bad.

But I guess some people beg to differ.

Goliath at Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. It starts with a gigantic drop and I kind of half-blackout every time. The rapid changes in altitude suck.

Don't get me wrong, I realise that they're not terrible at all, I'm just AWFUL with that kind of stuff tongue.gif

Havn't been on many rollercoasters ;_; don't go to amusement parks much.
I went to alton towers and spent 2 and a half hours cueing for Air (which was pretty awesome but not very scary). I've been to Light water valley a few times but the only rollercoaster there is the ultimate which isn't very good.
Topdog
Millenium Force. That thing's a monster. ohmy.gif Definitely the scariest coaster I've been on.

I haven't been on any "scary" roller coasters. I find all roller coasters enjoyable, not scary. tongue.gif

Texas Titan rocks.

Oh, oh. I've heard about that one before.

I think the drop is about 250 ft? At an amusement park around where I live, we've got a massive rollercoaster that is about 230 ft with an 87 degree drop. The first drop just kills you for about 5 seconds, but you regain yourself after that.

It's a 255 foot drop that goes underground, then back up in the air, and then you do a couple carousel turns (round and around like a carousel tongue.gif) that if you hold your breath on, you'll blackout. biggrin.gif

I haven't been there in such a long time. When I was 9 I went on Drop Zone. They still have that? It's awesome.

I love all rollercoasters, but if I had to choose the most intense one I've been on... It's definetly king da ka biggrin.gif went so fast my hair was actually stuck back lol.

Drop Zone was the most intense 8 seconds in my life.

Yeah, the Behemoth isn't too bad. You've got to worry about the first drop though. 87 degrees is mad crazy.

EDIT: I also heard Titan gets you really dizzy and gives you headaches?

If you do, make sure to go on Top Thrill Dragster, The Raptor, Millenium Force, and The Mantis. Those are the best ones, but Raptor's mah fave.

Lord Earth
Only been to two huge amusment parks, which were both just this summer. Mt. Olympus and Noah's Ark at Wisconsin Dells. Awesome stuff, went on Hades and loved it. I NEVER get sick or feel scared on any kinda ride, I just love them all. biggrin.gif Anyway, Hades is a wooden coasted that goes something like 80 MPH, drops 150 feet at about 75 degrees or something like that. Then goes underground, and seriously reminds me of Indiana Jones since it sounds like all the track behind you is ripping off. biggrin.gif

Definatly plan to go to Cedar Point and go on Millenium Force to see how I do on that at least some point in my life. biggrin.gif

It's only good if the line is like two minutes long. Cause then you get to go on a bunch of times while your friends are still waiting to get Into the front row of nitro.

Where was that? It looks like the Effie tower at Kings dominion.

I am not scared at roll coasters the faster more turns the better. I just am not a big fan of heights like the drop zone.

I would say craziest was hydra, it does a flip as you leave the station.

This is what i want to ride

It was his own fault. They'd probably shut the ride down for a day or two.

Top Thrill Dragster, Millenium Force, and The Raptorm at Cedar Point. -The best amusement park ever!

I don't find rollercoasters scary, but the one that I liked the most was Space Mountain in Disneyland Paris. It's really fun smile.gif

I haven't been on many roller coasters, so I'll say Space Mountain in Disneyland Florida.

Oh yeah? I have countless tales of you on rollercoasters that I could tell if I wish biggrin.gif

There's not many rollercoasters I find scary, and those that I do pale in comparison to the sort of things you guys are posting tongue.gif The WORST ride I've ever been on though, was Enterprise at Alton Towers (this was with chocncoke). It was doomed from the start; just before the ride set off we realised that the door of our pod-thing (hard to describe them) wasn't closed properly, and the attendant was just about to start the ride. This is more serious than it sounds because there are no harnesses, the doors are the only things that stop you falling out (plus the G-Forces). Spinning round upside down completely unsecured would have been...interesting rolleyes.gif Anyway we managed to shout to him just in time and he locked the door properly. Then we had the actual ride. Can I advise you, if you ever go to Alton Towers (which is unlikely for you Americans, but anyway), DO NOT go on Enterprise. Ever. Even with the effect of G-Forces, the lack of harnesses means you crash about in the pod/torture cage and exit feeling very ill. I went on it at the start of the day and it wrecked the rest of it because it made me feel so sick sad.gif

The Ninja at Six Flags Georgia. It's extremely rough.

Hanging Rollercoaster in Star City. Yup, you hang, you're not going to sit. Well you sit, but your hanging so sometimes your upside down and it's full of twists, turns and curves. ARgh. I'm never going on that again. So fast, too. Imagine tat for a whole 5 minutes.

I haven't ridden any real rollercoasters and I plan on making my first one King De Ka.

The scariest I've been on is in Parc Astérix in Paris called Goudurix. It was awesome.

Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain. I was on holiday in America. Could barely walk for a day.
Samurai Kenji
I really don't much like rollercoasters i just dont find them entertaining but it would have to be a close toss up between Goliath (Magic Mountain) Or Behemoth/The Bat/Top Gun (called flight deck now) At Canadas Wonderland for different reasons.
Mr Game and Watch
All both of the ones that I've been on.
