    My first rollercoaster ride was 25 years ago. The Racer at kings Island. It was alot of fun and for whatever reason, that was the last time.

    But we took our kids to Holiday World last weekend for a day of fun and we went directly to "the legend". Personally, I never would have done it but I was concerned about my youngest (happy 12th birthday to her today) riding alone, so I went with her.

    OMG!!! What was I thinking???!!!! I have never been so scared in my whole life! After I recouperated, I rode the Raven. Voted #1 wooden coaster on the planet. I thought it would be a milder ride but I was wrong. After a week of reflection, all I can think is I went through my second childhood. (I screamed like a wuss)LOLOL

    Last night, I took a look on the net at all the american coasters on the net. I came across one called "Top Thrill Dragster at cedar point". OMG, you have to see the pictures of this coaster!

    Here is the link http://themeparks.about.com/cs/cedarpoint/l/bldragstrphoto2.htm

    There is no way I am ever gonna do that, have any of you?

    Please share your coaster experiences just for fun.

    I did the one at Circus Circus in Vegas (I think that one has 3 loops) and I also did the one around the stratosphere (not as scary as you'd think).

    Overall I'm scared of the really big coasters...

    ROTFLMAO

    Ang, you are a braver woman than I am!!! That looks like an ejector seat on a jet plane!

    At least I had a floor to dig my toes into! lol

    BTW, that coaster pic I showed is called a "gigacoaster" the first of it's kind. A four hundred foot drop! I swear I get woozy just looking at it.

    I did twice on one day: the first because they (Viv) said I did'nt dare and the second because at the first ride everything went so fast i coul'nt "see" something nor orientated myself. The second ride i was prepared: I could see where I was and what to expect. Actually not as bad as I expected but after this 2 experiences I never did or will do it again.

    Place ? The Efteling - Kaatsheuvel - Holland.

    One of the greatest parks you can go. (Disneyland near Paris is nice but this one is -as some people told me- better and much more payeble)

    They won the Golden Apple once...

    Ang,

    Montu was excellent. We got on it just after a heavy storm so it was running faster than normal.

    Did you go to Islands of Adventure? Hulk and Dueling Dragons are good fun too.
