Fan of Roller Coasters? Check out the famous "King Da Ka"

[Alysser]

You can actually get up there without puking. Ok maybe thats kind of an excuse. But I would never be able to. Maybe if you give me a million bucks. We should have a big ol' Pettalk meeting here so all of you could go on it.

I get to ride Rollercoasters in D.C.!!!
I would so ride that one .

I prefer my guts to be inside my body, thank you very much.

[GiantSchnauzer]

Whoa! That's one steep hill. I love coasters but I dunno if I'd be brave enough for that.

[Sirrahsim]

that one looks ALMOST as awesome as Millenium at Cedar Point in Ohio I know that King Ka Da beats it by a few feet, but I am a definate Cedar Point fan!!

[Lobodeb]

OMG!! Where do I sign up? I'd be on that in a heart beat!

[Suki Wingy]

I get soooooooo bummed every time I think about roller coasters. I think they are SOOO fun, until i get so sick I almost black out and throw up. I rode Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America because I live about 30 minutes from it and it was like having a migrane and a sevire flu at the same time while flying through the air.

That looks uh..... sickening lol . There is no way in the world that anyone would get me onto that.

We are going to Movie World and Dream World on the Goldcoast (Queensland, Australia) in about 3 weeks time and i am having ride issues with that, we are definitely going on the following rides though.

I forget your here in Chicagoland.
I LOVED Raging Bull!! Gawd, that coaster was awesome!!! It's one of my favorites. My all time favorite are Fire & Ice at Universal Islands of Adventure. Both of them scared me good. I loved it!

DITTO!!

I remember when Magnum XL200, Raptor, and Millennium Force were brand new.

My family would camp at Camper Village there in Cedar Point and we'd wake to the screams. *laughs*

I love rollar coasters. I've been to a few other amusement parks but in my mind, nothing beats Cedar Point.

[lv4dogs]

nothing beats Cedar Point.

I've been wanting to go there for years. Everyone I know says the same thing.

I so wish I had a little extra money now as Findlay is only 1.5 hours from it & they even offer doggy day care!!!!! Too bad I can't scrounge up another $150 or so (2 addmissions, 2 doggy day cares & another night at a motel).

Oh well, there's always next year I suppose.

I'm a huge coaster fan! As a matter of fact I'm a member of ACE (American Coaster Enthusiasts) I've been on many. I've never been on King Da Ka, but I have been on Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point many times. Dragster is basically the same ride but a little smaller. CP brought it out and a year or 2 later King Da Ka came out. Both are made by the same company. Dragster is 420 ft tall and 120 miles per hour. It's truly unbelievable.

If any of you are big coaster freaks like I am you have to go to Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. If it's not a record breaker or truly amazing they don’t build it.

I will ride ANYTHING that this country makes. (I say this country because I'm not familiar with the laws that govern other countries on this matter, meaning safety standards.)

Have you been on Dragster yet? It's great!

BTW, I hate to be a coaster nerd, but it's Magnum XL200 and Millennium Force You kind of crossed the two

[Miss Z]

OMG, you would have to give me something very tempting to get me on that! I'm not too bad with rollercoasters, but gawd those ones are huge! I dunno if I'd dare

Here are some scary coasters in Britain
Oblivion; this has a massive vertical drop which goes underground. Chickened out on this one, as it stops for some awful seconds as it hangs over the edge, then plummets down. That's just evil .


Rita Queen of Speed; I think it can get up to 100mph on this one. It's totally awesome.


The Pepsi Max, also called the Big One; with a massive drop, it's gut-wrenching but brilliant!


LOL, they're the only ones I can think of right now, British ones aren't quite as amazing as the American ones but they're scary enough for me!!!

I knew that sounded wrong but was too lazy to double check. D'oh!!

I have not been on Top Thrill Dragster but it's on my list. The line was just too long the last time we visited for a day.
