I had a rather rough start when I had a bad experience riding Space Mountain at Disneyworld as a kid. For the next 20 years I only rode a few coasters here and there, and mostly only if I was asked to accompany someone. In those days coasters (anything bigger than a boardwalk or fairground...

I've had a few such situations. The most recent was my trip to Cedar Point this summer for Coastermania. Obviously there is Top Thrill 2, which spited pretty much everyone. But to make matters worse, I was saving Steel Vengeance for the evening ERT, and what a huge mistake that was. In...

The most I ever did on a single ride in one day was 32 laps on Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain. This was back when it was new, and I can't remember how I was able to get so many rides. But I was getting a bit dizzy by then (when Goliath was new many people greyed out in the helix, as did...

The last coasters I added to my credit list were those at Morey's Piers in Wildwood, New Jersey, this past weekend. I'll just mention the three major coasters at this park, even though they have some smaller carnival type coasters. The Great Nor Easter - this is a Vekoma SLC, so not much to...

The closest park to me is Adventureland in Monrovia, which is about a half hour from where I live. I've never set foot there, because it's very small and the two coasters I already rode when they were at other parks. It's just a little mom and pop park, not unlike what you'd find on a seaside...

Some really bad ones I remember were some pretty rough woodies like Son of Beast (I had a headache that lasted for some time afterwards), Psychlone (thankfully defunct) which used to be at Six Flags Magic Mountain (it felt like the train was running over boulders in places), Mean Streak (rough...

The last two credits I got were at Cedar Point earlier this month. I hadn't been there in years, so there were some coasters I hadn't yet ridden. I missed out on Top Thrill 2 because it is down for now. Also missed out on Steel Vengeance as it also broke down when I was there. But I did get to...

The first coaster to give me that sort of feeling was when I was a child, about 5 or 6, and I rode Space Mountain at Disney World. This was the year it opened, and neither me, my mom or her friend we were with had any idea that it was a coaster. Well, when the ride was over I had to just about...
