RollerCoasters
A place to talk about roller coasters and parks that have them. Everyone is welcome here to both learn and to celebrate these magnificent machines designed to scare you.
Here are some important resources:
Images are welcome if they are of high quality and it doesn't get out of hand. Please use PostImages to upload your image and then use that link in the URL field of your post (other image sites are permitted but Post Images has the best policies and compatibility).
Some basic rules:
-
Opinions, theories, and facts are all welcome – but be clear about what you’re saying.
-
Back up facts with sources as much as possible
-
No spam or sell-promotion. Linking to your own media or site is permissible only if it’s specifically related to a topic/post that someone else created.
-
No photos or videos taken on the rides. This is dangerous and shouldn't be encouraged.
-
Limit political discussion. When discussed it must be park related.
-
No fictional coasters (models, no limits, planet coaster, etc)
-
No posting personal information.
-
No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything -- and that's ok.

Orion, Nitro, and Diamondback are three rollercoasters I find so relaxing I actually could fall asleep in them if they were longer. What these rides have in common is that they are steel, with long undulating non-inverting layouts, and are made by Bollinger & Mabillard. The rocking motion instantly relaxes my body and makes me drowsy. Some might even say these rides are Boring & Mild :)
You shut your mouth about Nitro :)
to clarify - I enjoy a relaxing ride! Especially Nitro. It’s almost euphoric.
