howlinmadmurfdoc Posted 16 August 2020 Posted 16 August 2020 As it’s international rollercoaster day today and I couldn’t see a previous thread, what’s everybody’s favourite?
deejdeej Posted 16 August 2020 Posted 16 August 2020 The newer rides at Alton towers still aren't a patch on Nemesis.
yorkie1999 Posted 16 August 2020 Posted 16 August 2020 Used to like them, but ever since those kids got their legs chopped off through whatever the issue was the other year, it kinda put me off.
RoboFox Posted 16 August 2020 Posted 16 August 2020 The Saw Ride and Stealth at Thorpe Park are both great. Nemesis, obviously. The Hyper Coaster at Land of Legends in Antalya, with the joint record for the tallest vertical loop in the world, is probably the best overall rollercoaster I've ever been on. When I was in Dubai we very nearly took a drive down to Abu Dhabi to try out the coaster at Ferrari World, but never got around to it.

What puts me off them more now is, although it was a one-off situation, an that happened incident during a ride at Alton Towers - where it failed and caused one of the carriages to crash into the back of another one (causing life-changing injuries to, I think I remember correctly, a couple of youngsters).
Izzy Posted 16 August 2020 Posted 16 August 2020 Sheikra at Busch Gardens or Kraken at SeaWorld for me. Shout out to The Incredible Hulk coaster at Islands of Adventure too,

They ****ing love theme parks.

Wakeyfox Posted 16 August 2020 Posted 16 August 2020 Went to Blackpool pleasure beach last week and Icon there is pretty good. As others have said, nemisis at alton towers is still the best there
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 16 August 2020 Posted 16 August 2020 Keep your Floridas and keep your god damn Alton Towers, nothing will ever compare to the white knuckle thrill of doing the Missile at American Adventure for the first time. Still operating somewhere in the UK iirc

jonthefox Posted 16 August 2020 Posted 16 August 2020 Expedition everest at Animal kingdom is very good.

stix Posted 16 August 2020 Posted 16 August 2020 Thunderlooper at Alton Towers felt like it went from 0-300mph in about 2 seconds!!
twoleftfeet Posted 16 August 2020 Posted 16 August 2020 The scienic railway Margate. The grand national Blackpool you cant beat a wooden coaster.
Wrighty22 Posted 16 August 2020 Posted 16 August 2020 The rides on top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas!

Voll Blau Posted 16 August 2020 Posted 16 August 2020 Nemesis for me. Also have a soft spot for the one in Great Yarmouth where Madness filmed the video for House of Fun.
