Near us is Kings Island, a great place to go to: http://www.pki.com/ I was with there with my step mom only.
So as I was there I rode some of the orignals, the Beast, Still the World's Longest Wooden Roller Coaster for over 20 years. The Beast still runs around the woods with 7,400 feet of track at speeds of over 60 mph through dark tunnels and it's twin helix. The the racer, which is yet another wooden roller coaster, and frount train and a backwards one that both race. The ofcource Top Gun.
Yet, despite my fear I managed to get on the Drop Zone. 26 stories from a height of 315 feet straight down at speeds of over 61 mph. it's the tallest Gyro Drop in the World. So I screamed the first seacond and the bext second I yelled 'This is cool!'.
Later, after trudging along the park along many rides, I'm not typing these in order. I managed, me and my Step Mom Kat to sit on it. Placing my glasses and hat at the loading area. Up the 214-foot hill to a steep steep drop down down down. I screamed and then shut my trap to think 'Sweet!'. Though 78 miles an hour is fast and quite fun what scared me was the loop. The instant I saw it I screamed and wailed 'Oh my God! Son of a Beast! (Bicth wasn't too appropiet, and it IS a Son of the Beast!). The tallest, fastest, and only looped wooden roller coaster. Which to tell you really put some hurtings on me.
It was so fun we rode again!
(Kings island has the biggest dropping machine, longest and second highest wooden, and fastest, highest and only looped wooden. Boy, they got some rides.)
My day wasn't with out freaking out. We waited to see what the Tomb Raider ride was. It had such an eleborate begining, inculding props from the set Temple, it was so fancy and everything. AS waiting the lady told us there were pouches for keeping all loose items in, when it flips it takes no mercy on any thing. So my heart stopped a moment, and then decieded it was probaly like Flight of Fear. As going in there was a big platform, it was not a roller coaster but what seemed to be some evil flipping machine. I trembled and even cried untill I was allowed off.
So I'm wondering? Does anyone here love the high Thrill rides, or stick to the easeir kind?
I am a real coaster junky. Ridden lots of em all at Kings dominion Hershey Park and both Busch Gardens my next place to go would have to be ceader point have not been there yet. My favorite would have to be apollos chariot in Busch Gardens Willamsburg the air time is amazing.
. The rest of us still rode it, but it sorta took a bit of the fun out of it.
