I've been on Apocalypse at Drayton Manor. It's been voted scariest ride in the UK twice voted Europe's greatest thrill. It drops you from 180ft at 50mph, whilst titled forward at 15 degrees. My friends and I queued for one-and-a-half hours, and we freaked out at the top. We had to look down, and every so often we'd think, ok, this must be it. But there'd still be ages to go until we reached the top. Then a camera got a picture of us grimacing, and it dropped. Oh my cheese, it was scary. We were sitting down but you can actually STAND UP on it or STAND UP with NO FLOOR. But it was awesome, and this year we go again from school. We might be going on G-Force!

The Steel Eel at Sea World SA is pretty epic. 120 ft going down at a 80 degree angle. 60 MPH. But I've heard of better

I went to Kings Island. I rode the Beast and the Son of the Beast, plus the other roller coasters in the park.
The Beast is the longest coaster currently in the world right now at a little more than 4 minutes.
The Son of the Beast is the tallest and fastest wooden coaster in the world.

El Toro. Wooden rollercoaster at Six Flags: Great Adventure. Longest ever. I've ridden it... once.
Kingda Ka may be better. Tallest and fastest rollercoaster ever. Also at Great Adventure. I've personally never been on it though.
I'm also a huge fan of the Gravitron at the boardwalk.

No I believe the Beast at King's Island is longer if that's what you mean.
And I rode it...

Kingda Ka has the record for tallest and fastest, with a top launch speed of 128 mph, and a height of 400+ feet.
Cedar Point in Ohio is the number one best park in the world to go to if roller coasters are your game. While they do not have the tallest or longest, i do believe that they have both second places, along with many other rides and fanfares.

Amusement park rides... I've had experiences on those. Only 2 rollercoasters I've ever actually ridden. One was at Hershey Park and one was at Dorney Park. I liked Trailblazer at Hershey better though.
I like the Musik Express and the Whip at Hershey though. Once on an orchestra trip last year, there was nobody in line, so we didn't even have to get out of our seats and went on the Whip 5 times in a row!

My favorite roller coaster might be the Titan at Six-Flags Over Texas. I went there on a band trip and we went on it the most of any of the rides. Its fast, fun, and doesn't hurt your neck.
I also like Space Mountain at Disneyland. Although it isn't exactly scary, the darkness and "stars" make for a really cool effect.

Formula Rossa at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi will go 149 MPH!! Wheeeeeeeee!!
But as for my favorite roller coasters, I live 2 hours from Six Flags Magic Magic Mountain. My favorites are : X2, Deja Vu, Terminator Salvation, Tatsu, Riddlers Revenge, Batman, Scream, Colossus, Superman, Viper, Revolution, Ninja, and Goliath.
Goliath was the first ride I ever went on at Magic Mountain. This is why my username is Goliath1.

It makes sense now!

It was also my counselor name at a summer camp, so a few people don't know my real name. Sometimes, they see me while i'm shopping and say, "Hey Goliath, how's it going!" and people will stare at me. It's kind of awkward.
