Roller Coasters

I know this has nothing to do with trucks but I wanted to share with you all. Went to Sea World today to ride Manta. Rode it twice 2nd time right front seat best one in the house I think. I've Rode most of the coasters here in Florida and I have to say Manta is the best yet very awesome ride.

Love the old wooden coasters! If you ever get to Southern Indiana go to Holiday World. A couple of years ago they built a new wooden one that feels like an old one called The Voyage. My sister and I took our kids there when it was new that summer. It rained like crazy until we walked up to the park entrance so most people chose to stay home. We went right for the new coaster. Our kids are teenagers so they love riding coasters! I think we counted 15 times riding it that day. Front seat, back seat, middle. The back was the best because the rest of the cars whipped you around like crazy!!!

Re: Roller Coasters

i was wrrrrrrong the scariest rides are the carnivals rides if you see how they put them together you would never ride them ever,
bailing wire holds most of the rides
ever check the grounds after a carvinal been in town ,see all the oil or hyrdralic fluid on the ground ,where the hose or tank was dripping and your kids were just on that ride the other day
rant over

Yup...Colossus at Magic Mountain here in Valencia. Old school, and I like it!

About 20 yrs ago, they had a coaster called Shockwave, where you stood up. That ride was awesoooome! I think they sent it to Six Flags in Texas somewhere...

Re: Roller Coasters

Road a few wooden coasters including Gwazi the dual wooden coaster at Busch Gardens. My first one was the Tornado at Adventureland in Des Moines Iowa. Go Hawkeyes they're winning right now.
