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:

  1. RCDB
  2. Thrill Data
  3. Coast2Coaster
  4. Terminology and Abbreviations

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:

  1. Opinions, theories, and facts are all welcome – but be clear about what you’re saying.

  2. Back up facts with sources as much as possible

  3. 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.

  4. No photos or videos taken on the rides. This is dangerous and shouldn't be encouraged.

  5. Limit political discussion. When discussed it must be park related.

  6. No fictional coasters (models, no limits, planet coaster, etc)

  7. No posting personal information.

  8. No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything -- and that's ok.

Anyone really looking forward to a specific ride or park that they are planning to go to that they haven't been on/to before?

For me I'm heading to King's Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg this week and I'm super excited to ride the restored Grizzly..... and hopefully, if the gods are willing, I'll finally get on Pantheon which I've been to the park 3 times for and still haven't been able to get on it.

I’m trying to lose enough to get the Hollywood Dream credit when I go back to USJ this fall. I missed it earlier this year but was able to ride everything else. Those dang B&M hyper seats are not forgiving.

Good luck! On the plus side those are as comfortable as it gets for seats/restraints once you do fit.

I’ve been on other hypers just fine, I’m not too fond of them personally. Never really liked any b&m seat.

I find the B&M hypers very comfortable personally but their horse collars kill their rides (honestly I think they are comparable to Arrow trains, just not as aged). Their vest restraints are one of the better moves they've made for inverting coasters though (compareale to Vekoma MK1212 trains IMHO)

Good luck! I've lost a lot of weight twice in the past and it's incredibly difficult but feels so much better on the other side.
