RollerCoasters
A place to talk about roller coasters and parks that have them. Everyone is welcome here to both learn and to celebrate these magnificent machines designed to scare you.
Here are some important resources:
Images are welcome if they are of high quality and it doesn't get out of hand. Please use PostImages to upload your image and then use that link in the URL field of your post (other image sites are permitted but Post Images has the best policies and compatibility).
Some basic rules:
-
Opinions, theories, and facts are all welcome – but be clear about what you’re saying.
-
Back up facts with sources as much as possible
-
No spam or sell-promotion. Linking to your own media or site is permissible only if it’s specifically related to a topic/post that someone else created.
-
No photos or videos taken on the rides. This is dangerous and shouldn't be encouraged.
-
Limit political discussion. When discussed it must be park related.
-
No fictional coasters (models, no limits, planet coaster, etc)
-
No posting personal information.
-
No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything -- and that's ok.

What are you two's favorites there?
Magnum XL is so headache-inducing & basic, but I can't help but love it!
Really like the Millennium Force, too, but wasn't able to ride it this trip as I was having spinal issues.
Unfortunately, my absolute favorite, the Mantis, was shut down permanently before I had a chance to ride it one last time. RIP sweet prince.
OH! I thought the Gatekeeper was really neat, too! But go on the cars closest to the water– I think that side is the best!
Not sure if you are aware but Rougarou is actually Mantis just with side down cars..... but it was FAR better with the stand up trains and in it's current state it's one of the very few coasters that I'll never ride again.
I love Magnum sooooooo freaking much!
