If you jump off a cliff, how fast would you be going after 1.8 seconds?

Yeah.... Carowinds here sucks too Jewbaru. We haven't gotten anything new or unique in... well... ever. The most recent roller coaster we got was a Crazy Mouse style coaster!
We took a trip to King's Dominion last year. It was pretty nice... but too crowded. Volcano was cool, Flights of Fury was awesome... but my favorite was Anaconda. It's just so high, so long, and so weird feeling |

Isn't a roller coaster like that against the law in Jersey now?

Try this thread on for size.
The coaster industry is doing some crazy stuff over in Japan now. But I guess not as crazy as X . And New Jersey isn't too bad. They have one of the key four parks under Six Flags. Gotta admit, Nitro is worthy-tan |

Hey Steven, did you ride this while you were at King's Dominion? I rode it in '97 about a year after they opened it. Getting in I wondered what those huge pads next to your head were for. I found out!
http://www.coasterforce.com/outer.htm This one is my favorite at Busch Gardens; I've been there every year for about the past 3 years or so now (I have friends in the area in the Navy who go with me and we all get cheap tickets.) http://www.coasterforce.com/chariot.htm It has some SERIOUS "weightlessness" time, not to mention it being really quite fast in certain sections. |

Flights of Fear was GREAT! They didn't have shoulder harnesses though... which amazed me since it's a looping roller coaster. Just before we got on the ride, there was this HUGE black guy trying to get in. This guy was probably about 6'9", 300 lbs.... built like a brick wall. He got in, and the lapbar wouldn't come down over him... just kinda pinned his knees into his chest He was a bit nervous, but he made it out okay
I dunno what it is about King's Dominion. They have this obsession with launching coasters it seems. Flights of Fear, Volcano, and Hypersonic XLC. It's a nice park, and I can get in free there with my Carowind's season pass! |
