My First Roller Coaster
Never been on a roller coaster of any type before and so I decided to break my virginity on this...
It is Kumali at Flamingoland - drop of over 30m, 1 loop, 1 corkscrew and two additional inversions! The initial drop into the bend is something to be experienced, you could smell the fear.
It was very smooth and had a lot of extreme forces
Anyone else here ridden it?

It is The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm. No drops worthy of the name, no loop or corkscrews and certainly no additional inversions! Strapping myself in, alongside my 4 year old daughter, the initial drop into the bend is something to be experienced, you could smell the fear.

The one at Walt Disney World is frightening because it is in semi darkness and you can't see what is in front, unless they have put the lights up higher since I tried it. The one in California is less frightening and most enjoyable.
I always enjoy rollercoasters.

Pepsi max by any chance??
Think I can see the tower in the smog
Been on that and actually felt more frightened on the old rickety wooden one that is only held onto the track by gravity !!
and the last carriage of that one gets virtually flung off the track on the bends.

This one was pretty cool, had to go back and have a few more goes on it
This one shoots you out upwards at the start, it's quite a buzz
But the old wodden ones are probably the best for the whole experience

One of my all time favourites, and indeed the one I lost my coaster cherry on

I haven't been on a rollercoaster in years and years. The last one I tried to get on was a hang under one and I was told I was too tall (6'7"). I stayed away from amusement parks after that. Surely with the population height increasing they are factoring this in? Sorry, actually a mildly serious question!

Did the PepsiMax/Big one as the last ride after a (heavy) night on Newky Brown Ale .. cars were that empty they were putting sandbags on for ballast/weight distribution.... certainly helped sober me up !!
but I do prefer a Woody

When we last went, some girl pissed her pants on the over the edge one
I have that on video too, perhaps I should put it on youtube
