Intimidator 305 - tallest fucking rollercoaster on the eastcoast
69 replies, posted
Been on the Kingda Ka. I blacked out on the way up but got to see while we were on top. It goes from like 0 to 130 mph in 3 seconds. Shit's intense but not as scary as you might think. The whole ride is over very quickly.
EDIT: Sometimes the roller coaster car things don't even get over the hill. They just fall back down. Fortunately they anticipated that and put in a safety mechanism or something.
In Perth (Australia) we have..
Oh wait the only one in WA with a top speed of 15 km/h got knocked down for a shitty drop.
That ride looks boring as shit after the first drop.
This is a motherfucking man's ride:

"Superman: Ride of Steel" (Now called Bizarro)
227 feet high, 78MPH, and there's cool effects and shit. You go through underground tunnels filled with mist/fog and then you spiral around two pillars that are shooting flame as higher than the tracks. It's badass and is also the best in the country right now.

[QUOTE=Splarg!;22562897]Meh. Millennium Force has this beat by ten years. It's not on the east coast, but there are really only two other coasters like it...the Intimidator 305 and some piece of shit in Japan that partially derailed.
Millennium Force came out ten years ago, is longer, has less restrictive restraints, and some of the turns are banked greater than 90 degrees, meaning you're so far sideways it's almost upside-down.[/QUOTE]
Cedar Point ftw Me and my family go to Ohio every year to family in the summer, and this time I hope to actually ride this.
Also, Top Thrill Dragster, that's Millenium in the background there

Kingda Ka is fucking insane in my eyes. The thing is so tall, they had to put an air traffic light just so planes can make sure to fly over it. However, the thing breaks down half the time, so it's a 50-50 chance on when you might ride it. When it is working, the line stretches long enough for a 3 hour wait.
El Toro, right next door to it, is fucking fun as hell.

That's in New England right? I live right next to the park and go all the time. That ride isn't shit compared to the rollercoasters out in Ohio and the Kingda Ka.

This. From what I remember though the seats are pretty painful but it definitely pumps you with adrenaline. Half the time I thought I was going to be decapitated.

Did you ride the wild thing? I though it was awesome, but the Renegade was pretty good too.
