My first was the Crazy Mouse at the NC State Fair. I've also ridden the Intimidator at Carowinds. It's 232 ft tall, and goes 80 mph!

Oh. I went to the State Fair 3 years ago. It was fun.

What are inversions?
Loops, twists, and any kind of form in a roller coaster that goes upside down.

Okay, update: On the Kings Dominion site it has a picture of a space shuttle and says,"Striking new records, September 12th. The countdown begins!" And Californias Great America's website says, "August 29th" and that is most certinaly a new wooden roller coaster, as it is already on RCDB.

Sweet, I'll see if I can duplicate it on Roller Coaster Tycoon.

My favorite one is the fastest wooden roller coaster in the world, El Toro, at Six Flags Great Adventure. it's pretty scary though.
At that place is also the tallest roller coaster in North America, Kingda Ka.

I did to, but not Dragon! I went on "The Untamed" at Canobie Lake Park (up in NH, US). Yikes! It went straight up, straight down, whirled, dropped... it was fun, though...

Actually, Kingda Ka is the tallest roller coaster in the world! It says so on RCDB.

eh everyone says it's better than ka anyway
the feeling is like no other
going from 0 to 120 in 4 seconds with only a lap restraint is crazy
