Coaster Crazy!

Yo!
It's Me Again! I was wondering, what is your favorit Roller coaster or ride THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ON? Every one loves a good coaster. And with all the new technology coming out for them (just look at "X"!) they are getting better and better.

Here are mine:
The Vampire (mirror of "Batman" but with under ground level mist spraying at you)

And ride: The Sling Shot

Imagine a metalic cage in the shap of a ball, Two people are siting in it. You are 1 of them The cage is attachet to 2 metalic cables streaching to two 100 meter towers. The cage is held by a magnet. The operator says, "3! 2! 1!"

*click*

In about 2 seconds you are over 150 meters in the air! 0-160 km/h in less then 1 seconde! You flip forward and see where to started, 150 meters below.... you start your desent, and strech the cables a bit, making you go back up, then down, doing frontflips and backflips all the way down........

I think I do, it is Top Thrill Dragster. The Highest and Fastest Roller Coaster in the World. It is 128 meters high and geos 0 - 193.1 km/h in about 4.2 seconds! (But you are not standing up) (Hydrolic Launch System) It is located in Sandusky, Ohio.

OOO top gun, nice. Inverted, 90 km/h 31 meters heigh. Never been there. But seems really cool

and while you are in marine land, I sugest Dragon Mountain, 80 km/h 56.7 meters heigh. and it is not the longest in the world. You must of gotten confused with the Steel dragon in Japan. 2464 meters long! that is more than 2 km!

This is a part of Dragon Mountain.

AAAH! the Hulk, blasts you out at the beging right? B&M (the company that made it) did not want this at first, but some other company (forgot which one) made it so it blast's out in the middle of the hill. It is now a verry famous Coaster cause of that. 108 km/h and 34 meters high.

actually, all the records have been broken within the last 5 years. It was the longest in 1983 when it was first opened, but that was even before i was born!

Mellenium force was for a long time the fastest coaster in the world with 150 km/h! Not surprising for a first hill of nearly 1/10 of a km high! (95 meters!) if you ever get to go on Top Thrill Dragster, tell me how it was.

Just to show a part of the force behind Mellenium force:

A bit of history: The oldest Roller coaster in the world is Leap-The-Dips. It was built in 1902 to replace The "Gravity Railroad" that burned down in 1901. Although it is the oldest, and POSSIBLY the first REAl roller coaster in the world, it is nothing to scream about. It is about 12.42 meters high, Steepest desent is 25 degrees, longest dip is only 9 feet, it is 440 meters long and only goes at it's fastest, 16 km/h.

It still stands at Lakemont Park in Pennsylvania.
