My favorite ride on the Millennium force was in the evening. I got in line very late just before the park closed. The line was so long that the rest of the park and all of the rides were shutdown by the time I got on.

I got to ride Millennium force in the dark.


Absolutely awesome.

yeah, i rode son of beast in PITCH BLACK--back when it had the loop. you couldn't see ANYTHING of the track except for the lighting on the loop. it was a rather unique experience.

well i'm bumping this thread. i notched 4 more coasters today:

85. Booster Bike - Toverland, Netherlands
86. Boomerang - Toverland, Netherlands
87. Troy - Toverland, Netherlands
88. Forest Racer - Toverland, Netherlands

#88 is a quasi-coaster...you can actually control the speed on it. toverland is a fairly small park, but it's very clean overall--though the landscaping is a bit overgrown in some areas. it also has a small ropes-course & a few other cool surprises...including a 3-story tall slide that has nothing but rollers inside it. bumpy.

if i get to do my double-shot of UK parks next year, i'll break 100 for sure.

I work for delta airlines so on my long weekends the girlfriend and I will fly to an amusment park for the day. We just got back from cedar point this last fall top thrill dragster is by far the best I've been on so far.

It's funny that when I first met my girlfriend she had never been on a coaster and was scared as hell of them. Now she's chases them around the U.S. with me.

Well, finally made it up to CP yesterday for the first time this year, and got to ride the new Gatekeeper. Have to say, I wasn't too impressed. It wasn't terrible, just not nearly as thrilling as I was hoping. It's definitely more mellow than MF, Maverick, Raptor. It was a very smooth ride however, and the twists through the entrance towers were neat. The 2 1/2 hour wait sucked...

Those keyholes it passes through look pretty cool.

Big Bad Wolf at BG Williamsburg is still one of the coolest coasters I've ever rode. Been a good 20 years since I've been on it. Got to get back there, again.

it's gone. i never got to ride it. they only had 4 coasters when i went there in 2011. alpengeist, griffon, apollo's chariot and loch ness monster.

flight deck at KI and iron dragon at CP are very similar rides though.

NO way! Man, that makes me sad. Rode it as a kid, and really wanted to experience it again as an adult.
