Wow - the picture of Kraken is great although I haven't tried that one yet. Weird but as I'm getting older I'm much more scared than I was a few years ago. When I first went to Florida at 23 I'd go on them all but not now! My husband says I'm going on the lot in July - no excuses! (Dr Doom's Tower of Fear? Err, I don't think so!!) [msnoo]
The pics really are great, I have done both Spiderman at 6 flags, and Rock 'n' Roller at Disney MGM. Did not realise they were the same coaster. This year we are going to Baltimore, and plan to do the six flags park there. Anyone been, like to make any recommendations? :D
The pic of Kraken is superb, although it actually look worse than it is!
I've been on most of the coaster in Orlando now but my favourite is still Hulk!
Went on Grand National at Blackpool years ago and that totally put me off coasters,
I hated it so much and for that reason I won't go near Gwazi or any coasters that
don't have the support that goes over your head to keep you in !!
Dr doom is a right let down you only go up and down twice and the drop is not that fast not a patch on ToT
Dr doom is a ride for the weak hearted once you have done apocolypse at drayton manor in the UK. You stand up with a bike saddle between your legs and they take the floor beneath you away. Then they drag you up 160 ft and drop you through what looks like an impossible hole to fit through. Now that is scary. Then theres nemesis at alton towers, like a roller coaster except they hang you over a drop for 5 seconds and tell you to not look down. You do look down though because your neck cannot move anywhere but down. Thats a scary ride!:D[msnoo]
alking of good roller coaster, when we where there in March this year they where building a new one in AK in Asia, based on Mount Everest, It looed very big and fast, they where starting it enclose it inside a mountain when we where there, its not open for another year yet.
Hayter, the ride in Alton Towers that warns you to not look down is called Oblivion. If you have no fear of heights, its a bit of a letdown.
Nemesis is the coaster where you hang from above.
I hope they just don't keep adding rollercoasters rides to the parks.......or more and more rides you can't do with your whole family when they are over say 10 years......my kids and hubby will not go on any water drop rides with me....and I can't go on a coaster because of my ears.....so each time we go we can use fewer rides.......Spiderman and Man in Black are great rides for everyone.....I hope they add more of those.....I'm hoping to try the Mummy....I can go on a coaster if it does not go upside down......
Just got back from florida and I still can't believe some of the rides i went on. Usually I am ok as long as something does not go upside down. The thing is with this rock n rollercoaster you can't see it before so I didn't know!! Untill someeone told me in the queue and it was too late then!! I had my eyes closed the whole tome, I'm not sure if I enjoyed it but I survived, It didn't help that i was in the back as I now see that apparently it's worse! I also tried tower of terror, also because you can't see it before you go on, it was diifferent!! Oh well I think I am getting braver as I get older, or is it more stupid!!
Looking at that picture of Kraken though, I would never attempt that.
i really enjoyed rock n roller coaster , it was great , but is it really like that ?[?]
