    Anyone like rollercoasters?

    :eek:

    watch the top video!

    420 foot vertical drop at over 100mph with a 270 degree turn thrown in for good measure :eek:

    Cedar Point amusement park/resort stunned thrill-seekers in 2003 when it debuted the park's unprecedented 16th, yes, 16th roller coaster - Top Thrill Dragster. Reaching a stratospheric 420 feet tall and topping out at an unheard of speed of 120 mph, Top Thrill Dragster became an instant favorite.

    Riders begin their epic journey aboard this whopping 42-story screamer by securing themselves into ultra-cool trains that resemble top fuel dragsters. The train then moves into a "starting line" position, where it launches forward, reaching speeds of 120 mph in approximately four seconds.

    But hold on … this isn't your father's roller coaster. The train then zooms straight up the 420-foot-tall hill on track that rotates 90 degrees, crests the coaster's apex and then free-falls back to Earth, reaching a speed of 120 mph for the second time. As the train races more than 400 feet to the ground, the track twists an unbelievable 270 degrees - what a rush! Riders then return to the station to begin regaling their friends with stories of the greatest ride of their lives.

    I went on a class one at Busch Gardens in America called the Sheikra. . . it goes up 230 ft or something then stops on a 90 degree angle and stays there for 3minutes. . . then drops. :D

    I love rollercoasters, plenty loops and staggering heights are the boyo :king:

    It's not as good as i thought it would be like. the 3rd time i went on i decided to see how relaxed i could stay and felt my heart etc when i got off and it hadn't even got any faster. Rollercoasters dont really do it for me anymore its more rides that shoot you up or down that get me pooping :p
