Because you go from 0 to 120 mph in 4 secs!

I can't go on coasters scarier than Steel Force at Dorney Park.

Rollercoasters aren't really my thing. Last week I went to universal studios and Disneyworkd and went on a bunch of rides, three of them actually being rollercoasters.
Dragon challenge in Harry Potter world, which was basically this: you go on a high speed rollercoaster and get flipped upside down at least ten times for one minute. Eh.
Then I went on revenge of the mummy which was like an indoor ride through the mummy world with these scorpion things and mummies hissing at you. And then there is this huge drop and lots of scary turns. *shivers*
Then space mountain which was actually fun because it felt like I was flying through space.
The other stuff I went on wasn't intense but it was really fun (forbidden journey, the Simpsons, spiderman, etc.) but it was a simulator so I feel kind of lame saying that. Though forbidden journey moved you around quite a bit.

I like roller coasters, but Portland doesn't have any theme parks; the closest one is in Southern Washington. Well, there is one, Oaks Park, but it's tiny.
The "Griffon" roller coaster looks epic!
On Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, the fastest Coaster I've made went 112 MPH. It went to the track support maximum with the ground elevation also maxed, then into the ground as far as possible. No one liked it at all, I wonder why. XD

Doesn't matter, to be honest. The lap restraints on coasters like that are quite enough to hold you in; it's not like they're the ones from a wooden coaster or something.

My cousin went there with her school and I think she rode Dragon Challenge, and Incredible Hulk.

I've been to that park before, but I haven't been on any coasters there. Actually, the only "real" coaster I've been on so far is Big Thunder Mountain at Disney world. (If you never rode a roller coaster before, I recomend that one.) Oh, and there was a dinosaur one that was pretty fun.

This looks amazing. The airtime over crests and force through the turns on that must be incredible.

The first, and biggest one I've been on was Nitro @ Six Flags Great Adventure.

I went to Busch Gardens in Virginia, and I rode the Loch Ness Monster as my first coaster. (Dad said it was for babies and didn't tell me it had painful loops D When we went down the drop, the Griffon was right next to us!

The Loch Ness Monster is an old coaster. Griffon looks awesome though!

I don't normally like rollercoasters, but there are a few at Six Flags Great America I went on.
Superman
American Eagle
On Superman, your hanging upside down the whole time so that's fun.
