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 

What!?! All you have is a lap restraint?

Why would you need anything more? 

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

Here is a computer-generated view of a nearby park's coaster that is often consider one of the most extreme (even though it's not the tallest or fastest)

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

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.

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

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 love the millenium force @ Cedar Point. The drop is 316 feet, almost straight down. Going down that hill is the feeling of pure I'M GONNA DIE!!!!!! It's awesome

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.
