    Do you count kiddie coasters in your coaster count?

    Do you count kiddie coasters in your coaster count?

    Oh, see. So I guess I don't count them at all (or at least haven't) as I don't really remember how many I have been on, mainly because I haven't been on one for quite a long time. By the way, I know it has nothing to do with kiddie coasters but it is related to credits: do people usually...

    Cinecitta World, Italy | Altair | Intamin 10 inversions

    Re: Cinecitta World, Italy | Unknown | Intamin 10 inversions They also look like they will hold your legs closer to the waist unlike skyrush's ones that do it a bit more forward. If they do, I'm convinced that's what will make the biggest difference.

    Re: Kings Island | "Banshee" | B&M Invert ^Raptor also has my favorite drop in an invert so far. This one looks awesome, though.

    Do you count kiddie coasters in your coaster count?

    ^ Ok what's your exact definition of kiddie coaster? What I meant was that I may count things like this: But not like this

    Do you count kiddie coasters in your coaster count?

    I do. However, like many other people, I don't seek them just to get the credit. In fact, I only remember riding two kiddie coasters (and one of them was around 60 ft tall and I guess it was more like a family coaster). I obviously don't count wacky worms or other similar rides.

    Worst coasters you've ridden (Bottom 5/10)

    1 - Coaster express, Parque Warner Madrid: so rough it is almost impossible to describe. 2 - Mean Streak, Cedar Point: I guess we all know why it is here. 3 - Wilcat at Hershey: I found it to be as rough as mean streak but the layout, nice pacing and twists make it better. 4 - Corkscrew, Cedar...

    Airtime

    I know the difference between ejector and floater and I also know that when you experience negative Gs while upside down it's called hangtime rather than airtime. I just gave the zero g roll example to support the idea that airtime is only negative Gs (while you're upright) because, in my...

    Airtime

    Airtime is a very commonly used word among coaster enthusiasts but while I've always thought that it meant exclusively negative Gs (either light - floater air or heavy - ejector airtime) I've heard lots of people (specially on TV programs) saying it is the same as weightlessness. I was convinced...

    Cedar point: best time to visit?

    Ok, I guess I'll see how the queues are then. By the way, the only park I've ever visited in the US was six flags great adventure and (at least back then) the only way to store our personal items was to put them in some lockers were you actually had to pay unlike some other parks I've been...

    Are you scared of flying?

    Not really. I just find it quite boring (apart from the takeoff and lading).

    Cedar point: best time to visit?

    Right now I'm also considering buying the fast lane/track thingy for Hersheypark as I'll be going there on a Sunday (August 25). Is it actually worth it (also considering it is not extremely expensive)?

    Longest you've Waited

    I think it was back in 1999 when I rode my first coaster: Big thunder mountain at Disneyland Paris. Me and my parents waited something like 3 hours and that record was almost beaten by Kingda ka two years ago when I waited 2h 30 min.

    Kings Island | Banshee | B&M Invert

    Re: Kings Island 2014 Roller Coaster If that last triangular support is going to support the drop the lift hill doesn't seem to be that long (unless it is really steep which is usually not the case with inverts although B&M have been building some steeper hills lately). I still hope this will...

    Showering.

    ^ I also like to sleep as much as possible, not only that, but I have karate training at around 7 p.m so I always have my showers before dinner except on weekends when it kind of depends.
