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)
For not losing lunch, straight Scotch is good.
LOLOL!
This was a great coaster in Myrtle Beach. Was torn down to make way for “progress”. I spent many summers at the Pavilion.
Ah Cedar Point...America’s Roller Coast....Haven’t been there since 2000 but hope to catch up eventually on the new rides they have added. That said that year Millenium Force opened and it was the leading edge at the time.
Islands of Adventure, you’re right, my bad. I couldn’t remember if it was there or Cedar Point, I chose wrong.
What’s important is that you rode that beast! Quite a rush!
Best ride was under the Carquinez bridge in the back seat of my ‘50 Olds, back in the 50’s, with a little brunette. >:-}
I’ll have to go to MM...haven’t been there in years.
The wildest ride I’ve had was unplanned. In Casa Grande AZ a few of us were doing night jumps. The pilot was drunk..we didn’t know that until he did a barrel roll and two spins.
Wild ride. At consumer demand he flew directly over the airport and we left him on his own.
Busch Gardens Williamsburg has a new one, the Griffon. 205 feet up, 90 degrees straight down. It just opened, and I haven’t had a chance to ride it yet. Here is the link to the website about it:
