Amusement Rides

I was wondering where to put this, but then I realized that Nautical Nonsense would be the PERFECT place! Talk about some Amusement Park rides that you like (or dislike) here!

I absolutely LOVE this particular ride (The Thunderbolt), and it might be my favorite. It's like a tornado!

At first, since it didn't have a seatbelt, I was nervous and I thought I was going to die, but then I rode it, and it. Was. AWESOME!!!

I'd say I haven't been to that many amusement parks, but I sometimes go to Rye Playland in the summer. My favorite is probably a tie between the Dragon Coaster and Super Flight.

My favorite is Batman at Great Adventure

That looks like the one from Michigan's Adventure.

I still have yet to go on the really cool roller coasters at Dorney Park. =/

I don't go to amusement parks super often, but me and my family go to our county fair every year. Out of every time I went there, this is for sure my favorite ride:

And BTW, this is a picture I found on Google images, the county fair where I go to doesn't look like that :p

Silver Bullet and the Xcelerator at Knott's Berry Farm!

Some of my favorite overall amusement park rides. I need to start going to more.

I forgot about The Mummy! Another favorite! xD

some are fun,some are scary,some people have died or almost died on them.

Only one I've been on is the crazy mouse. I'm afraid of heights.

Thirded. The amount of adrenaline you get on them is extremely uncomfortable. My class orchestra has to go to Six Flags tomorrow, so I'll try to make the best of it.

I love going on roller coasters, I've been on all but one at cedar point

Fourthed. I'm more of a day dreamer who would rather sit in silence than something that makes me feel uncomfortable. I've always been a big scaredy cat when it comes to these things.

Oh my gosh! I've actually been on The Thunderbolt in 5th grade! It was so fun! :)

The Superman Escape at Movie World:

The Bat-Wing Spaceshot (at Movie World):


The Reptar Roller-coaster at Dreamworld:

I like the American Ferris Wheel at Taiwan Window On China.
I dislike The Space Mountain Roller Coaster at Hong Kong Disneyland as I nearly flew out of the roller coaster seat.

Oh yes, I am a huge fanatic of rollercoasters and amusement rides in general! :) I love them because they are super fun, exciting, fast, and thrilling!!! I don't understand why some people dislike them. Yes, I do enjoying having a safe life, but rollercoasters are generally safe. I mean, you can't fall of them or anything. And I love things that are thrilling AND safe at the same time! I love scary rides mostly, but even though they're scary, they're still safe!

I love most rides in any Six Flags or Knotts Berry Farm. Especially the world-record ones. I rode on the Kindga Ka in Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, and it is the tallest and fastest rollercoaster in the world. And that ride was AWESOME!!! I also like X2, Viper, Superman The Escape, and many more that are in the Six Flags near my location in San Diego. And I also love Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure a lot. Rides from there I love are Space Mountain, California Screamin', Splash Mountain, Tower of Terror, Big Thunder Railroad Mointain, Mickey's Fun Wheel, ect. I also like rides in Sea World (ex: Journey to Atlantis), Universal Studios (ex: The Mummy), Legoland, the San Diego County Fair, ect. I even plan on traveling all over the world to go to other famous and world-record amusement parks/rides, when I am an adult. (Just because I'm an adult, that doesn't mean that I will stop being a kid inside. Trust me. For example, I will always love SpongeBob.)

So as you can see, I am a rollercoaster/thrill ride enthusiast. That's why I was happy to see you posting a topic about amusement rides. ^_^
