Rock 'n' Roller Coaster

[Joolz]

So as a member of the rollercoaster club of GB - you can probably answer this.....how does this one rock n rollercoaster compare to the big one in blackpool??
Got to get the comparison in for the family.

[Oliver]

Bit of hard one to compare, because they are diffrent in the type
of rides they are,

To be honest I have allways thought the Big one was abit of a let
down, the first drop is intense but the rest is just there to make
the ride last abit longer and to make the thing look good

But with Rock N Rollercoaster or Superman its a full on rush till the end
and the 0-60mph in 2.5secs is cool is [8D]

If you get a chance try Kraken at Seaworld. My favourite at the moment (but I haven't done IOA or Busch yet). Fantastic coaster in my opinion. One hell of a rush...

Now youve got me thinking- My entire family thought it was a hilarious proposition that "I" should want to go to Disney world - given the way I love rollerscoasters ....not![xx(]

We will be taking our 4th trip in Dec... [hopefully] Given the fact that I dont like them particularly ... and only went on rockn roller coaster for a dare....you will understand that I havnt ever been on another fast ride- at WDW [or anywhere else for that matter] Definition of fast : anything of above monorail level.....[msnwink]

So when I saw your photo of R N Roller Cosater- I thought well if I did THAT one i could probably manage some milder one inone of the parks- so which one should I try??

Oh I did go on a ride at Seaworld ... I cant even remeber what it was called but I dont think youd call it a rollercoaster.

[msnembarrased]so can you educate me on the slower rides that I might be able to manage...and show them that their mum is not a total scaredy cat!!![msnembarrased]

In a straight head to head, Kraken certainly beats Hulk in my opinion. Kraken's gradual rise to the top just before the big drop builds up the adrenalin nicely, but Hulk's sudden rush out of the tunnel does it too quickly and at the wrong pace. Also, Kraken has more scary twists and loops and also more close encounters when it dives 'underground'. But most of all, the eerie quietness of the Kraken (apart from the screaming!) gives it a certain special 'feel' which the Hulk lacks.

Joolz if you've done Rock n Rollercoaster - you'll be fine with Space mountain, thunder mountain and splash mountain (I know it's not a coaster but..) also terror towers basically anything at Disney - Islands of Adventure - well that's another story[:0]

Did you try Atlantis at Seaworld? It's more a water chute ride with a little coaster bit at the bottom?

[Oliver]

Joolz: Like caroline said you will be fine with all the Disney rides there all
fun but not too Extreme

Then here is my prescription as you get brave
1. Gwazi (Bush Gardens)
2. Cheetah Chase (Bush Gardens)
3. Python (Bush Gardens)
4. Scorpion (Bush Gardens)
5. Montu (Bush Gardens)
6. Duelling Dragons (IOA)
7. Kuma (Bush Gardens)
8. The Hulk (IOA)
9. Kraken (Seaworld)

Start at 1. and when you get to 9 enjoy the view below




No pressure
