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

[ramanth]

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!!

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.

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.

We have a medusa at the six flaggs about an hour from here, my kids go on it all the time and I really want to but I am really afraid I would have a heart attack, I am really afraid of heights.

Our Medusa isn't that high. It's really fast though. I wasn;t to thrilled the first time I went on though. I was crying the whole time on line.

[k9krazee]

Wow! I'd go on it! I used to be TERRIFIED of rollar coasters, I wouldn't even go on itty bitty ones, the first ever rollar coaster I went on was Millenium Force, my Uncle dragged me on it and we sat in the first car I was SCARED OUT OF MY MIND the entire time!! But once it was over, I was right back in line

That's similar to how my dad got my sister liking coasters. Wouldn't ride them, so he made her ride Magnum with him. Can't keep her off them now.

Holy crap I compared the height on that with medusa...medusa is 150 ft that thing is 450 feet...I would seriously need to wear depends
