Tell me about the rollercoasters you have been on, especially fast ones and ones that have loads of loops and barrel rolls :D One of my favorites is The Kraken, Seaworld in Florida; last year I went on it three times ,when I came off I fell over and my groin really seemed to hurt, still great fun though. Another was The Hulk, Islands of adventures-Florida again.

The Hulk is intense. I rode it at Universal Studios in Orlando.

Although, I must say...the all time best roller coaster I've ever rode on is The Titan in Six Flags over Texas in Dallas.

The acceleration on the hulk at the beginning is crazy :p

Batman the Ride at Six Flags Great America is fun if you're at the front. Otherwise you don't see as much, and it loses some of the awesomeness.

I've been on oblivion at alton towers, it has statitistics.

Actually, Batman is at every Six Flags as far as I know...well, it's at all 3 I've been too anyway...

I've got mixed feelings about it. It's definitely not in my top 5, and I've been on quite a few rollercoasters.

And above The Hulk in my list is Mr. Freeze. If you liked The Hulk and are looking for an intense ride...Mr. Freeze starts similarly...you're accelerated quickly, except more acceleration, and not uphill. It's flat. You go through some loops and some corkscrew stuff and what not, then straight up. And I literally mean straight up. Until gravity takes over...then you go through it all backwards.

At Cedar Point, the Magnum XL-200 roller coaster. All I can say is WOW.

"The Vampire", in La Ronde park, Montreal.
I know the design is not unique, but it's still a hell of a good ride.

My all-time favorite.

Oh, and we have some of the biggest all-wood rollercoasters in the world -- "Le Monstre" (The Monster). As they're becoming older, and are filled with spider webs, creaking and shaking, they're getting CREEPY. At each ride, I get afraid of the whole thing crumbling down.

The Hulk's the best I've been on. Was also the first :p

I've been on 'em all at Cedar Point. My favorites are Magnum XL-200, Millenium Force, and Gemini.

The first roller coaster I ever went on was Space Mountain (which, coincidentally, is the tallest mountain in America...)

Everyone I know likes Son of Beast at Kings Island.
