Best Amusement Park Rides (Vanity)
Just Me | 6/11/07 | Just me

Posted on 06/11/2007 8:07:52 AM PDT by Millee

What are your favorite/scariest/best amuesement park rides? OR what are some of the lamest out there? My all-time favorite is the "Tower of Terror" at Disney MGM studios. Mixes a cute storyline with a stomach churning drop at the end.

Also, even though the wedgies have to be surgically removed, love the steep slides at the water parks.

Happy summer everyone! :o)

That looks like a lot of fun! I prefer the steep hills over the upside down stuff.

I got in the front seat the first time, and took pictures. That was on the first day of the countdown to the official opening day.

I could never be that coordinated with my camera on a ride. Good shot!

I’ve always liked Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean. The scariest part was always trying to remove the eyeliner.

When my Rockstar and I were dating, he took me on the Cliffhanger at Six Flags Arlington [TX.] Straight up one mile, then straight down and curls you onto your back in the ‘cage.’ Also, the Texas Tornado, sky high double loop roller coaster.

Never again.

The Boardwalk in Santa Cruz CA. was the best years ago when I was a kid. Now I like the rides at 6 flags Arlington with the grandkids.

That statement just took me through a time warp and an intraplanetary cultural mind shift. Wow.......

If they didn't do that all those other times you've asked, why would they do it now?
