Roller Coasters

Started by mechmoggy5 pages

The coasters over in the UK are pretty lame compared to US standards, but here are my fave ones: -

Oblivion at Alton Towers - I screamed like a little girl on that one 😮
Air at Alton Towers - You are tilted upright so its like you're flying like Superman 😎
The Big One at Blackpool - I've been fairly drunk both times I've been on that one. 🙄

me on "the boss". not alowed to bring cameras, but i snuk it on. its only a clip. just click 'open' instead of save.

I like Top Gun at Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina

OBLIVION!!! YOU LUCKY YOU!!!

That Is The Funneist Coaster I have ever seen!

The Train Is sideways inside of in-line, At one point you are on top of a hill and they stop you RIGHT before going down, you are but you are in the curve to go down and all you can see is "don't look down" and a big arrow pointing to a dark circle you will eventually have to go into.... thus the name Oblvion.

Specs:
109 km/h
4.5 Gs!!!!
Biggest drop: 54 meters!!!

I think the whole ride is over in about 30 seconds but that drop is freaking scary! 😱

Air, herd od it, but went on Superman: Ultimate Flight in great America

Air only 2 inversions, 75 km/h 3.5 Gs 20 meters high. BUT 3 MINUTES LONG!!!!!

Never Herd of "THE BIG ONE" but if you are talking about Blackpool then you must mean Pepsi Max Big One Made by Arrow (They went banckrupt after making The Mother of all coasters, "X" !!! so they where bought by another company, yet they still make parts and stuff.)

Anyway P.M.B.O. is at it's max 120 km/h 3.5 Gs (which is reletivly A lot) but no inversons which is surprising for a steel coaster built in 1994...... and 64 meters high. (Must of been a real thrill if you where drunk!)

The Boss, what can I say? Your regular wooden coaster (and 106 km/h) fairly big, (1.5 km).

i once went on all the coasters at valley fair dispite gittin sic. i puked for the next 2 days.

Corkscrew
Excalibur
High Roller
Mad Mouse
Mild Thing
Steel Venom
Wild Thing

which one did you go on????

or if you went befor 1998 there was also "Rails" closed in 1998 which was imported from Cedar Point

i went on all the coasters ther in 1997 crash

Corkscrew:

Steel Coaster made by arrow opened in 1980, 81 km/h 16 meters high 1 loop 2 Corkscrews

Excalibur, 88 km/h 32, meters at the highest drop, (goes under ground level) made in 1989 by again, arrow.No inversion beause the Structure itself (beems and all) is wood, but the track is steel.

High Roller is again your basic Wooden Coaster, nothing too exciting 80 km/h (not as Fast as "Le Monstre" In La Ronde) 21 meters high

Wild Thing Looks interesting even if there are no inversions.

120 km/h, a 60 meter drop, and the whole thing lasts 3 minutes! not surprising it cost 10 million$ to make.

I could not find Rails anywhere but I do know that from 1979 to 1995 it was named "Wild Rails".

I make it a goal in life to ride every coaster I see...

Go to Magic Mountain In California, Ride "X" and tell me how it is.... (my goal in life is to go on the most extream rides/attractions there is, thus my Hope of becoming part of the Snow Birds!)

I see Edna's haunt Drayton Manor isn't featuring here...
