Name your favorite rollercoaster that you have ridden im just curious. Also if you can make a brief description of the ride and details. If you know of a place were you can get pics feel free to add them.

So without further ado my favrite rollercoaster is


The Boss

The Boss is a world class wooden coaster at Six Flags St Louis by were I live. Its very secluded from the rest of the park and when you ride it will will scare the crap outta you. I have ridden many coasters at places like Ceder Point, and SFMM but the boss is the best by far.

Well the second you get into the station and gte a good look at the trains you notice something is wrong. The cars are not sqaure like most wooden coasters but there open and trianguler aka Gestuler Style Trains.

After a quick little hop outta the station you begin to go up the chainlift. The chainlift pulls the coaster 120ft into the air then you go over a tiny predrop into a very tight turn then down the main hill which is a drop of 120 ft. After the drop you speed through a straitaway through a bunch of head choopers or low hanging supports that create the illusion there gonna hit your head. Then outta nowhere it drops you another 50 feet into a ravine. The ravine scareds me because there no way to tell its coming. After the double drop you fly up another hill were at the top of the hill you do a sudden turn then wham down another hill. After the 3rd drop it spins you around again and you go up yet another hill and never losing speed. After that you drop into the ravine again. Then the ride begins speeding through a bunch of bunny hills and shown above in the photo then you go around a huge double helix

The G Force in the helix is incredible as you speed through it. Then boom the brakes turn on and wham the ride suddenly ends making you crave for more. This is a definate coaster you cannot miss when you come to St Louis.
