Best part about roller coasters

What do you like the most about roller coasters?

I place airtime, height, speeds, and drops all very high on my list...hence why I like good hypercoasters better than almost anything else...sooo I chose overall experience.

[hyyyper]

Not on the list, but I like the inversions more than anything on coaster

The out of control factor is whats most important to me.

i carnt pinpoint what a like about the experience. ive always respecet the engineering over everything but i guess most of all like freddie its got to be disorienting in a good way.

and who the hell is going to say the que line is the best part?

SPEED!

^^i will! queue lines are where its at! [stoning]

I like elements of the ride that make it feel dangerous, like ejector air and lats. However, if a ride has great vertical forces and airtime with not many lats, I will still enjoy it (just probably not as much). That's why I like most wooden coasters more than steel coasters generally, but there are a few exceptions in rides with things wooden coasters cant do.

So yeah, I put overall experience.

To be honest, queue lines aren't all bad. Dueling Dragon's queue was awesome to wait in. Also, I tend to like standing in the queue watching the ride as it really gets me hyped up and excited.

Overall experience, obviously. Includes everything.

I vote for the adrenaline rush. A coaster might have all the airtime or speed in the world, but if it doesn't make me feel like I'm on the edge, it doesn't mean a thing IMO. This is why I love "Maverick" so much... it still surprises me and gets the adrenaline pumping every time.

I vote for speed!!!

Why didn't you vote for it than? [stoning]

I like speed, height, and airtime. Pretty much on par with DCS. The airtime on a drop followed by the speeds, which are usually the fastest at the bottom of the drop, all excite me very much. Depending on how much of this can be brough, it usually gives you a good first impression on the coaster as well.

A drop doesn't have to be tall for me to enjoy it, either. Excalibur, Renegade, and High Roller all at Valleyfair have amazing drops in the back.

Cyclops, Hades, Wild Thing, High Roller, and Magnum are my favorite drops [:P] So yeah...drops fer me.

why can't I vote for the tickle in my privates from the vibrations?

Because that would be dumb.



I like the overall experience. Everything is good.

Overall experience, including height, speed, airtime, the out of control factor on woodies and the most extreme elements on a steelie.

Also just pointing out that one of my favourite things with roller coasters is airtime on an invert. Seriously, such a cool feeling.

I might be the only weirdo here who likes this, but... I personally love sitting in the trains in the station waiting for the ride to go. no idea why either.

I bet if it were on the list of options, it would blow the others out of the water.
