The Hulk at US islands of adventure. Batman at six flags. At Opryland (RIP) there was the screaming delta demon and chaos which I liked when I was younger

Millenium Force (Cedar Point)
Dueling Dragons (Univ Studios Islands of Adv.)
The Incredible Hulk (Univ Studios Islands of Adv.)
Kingda Kha (Cedar Point)
The Prowler (Worlds of Fun)
Batman The Ride (Six Flags)

I guess there's some Superman ride in CA that tilts you forward like you're on your stomach in the Superman "flying" motion. Have always wanted to try that. But I don't really want to go all the way out to CA to do it...if I happen to ever make it to the west coast I'll hit it up while I'm there..won't be anytime soon though.

Rode Orient Express once - really liked it. My favorite current coaster is Griffon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It has two drops of greater than 90 degrees. Sons of bitches actually hang you 160 feet off the ground with the coaster dangling six degrees past vertical for about ten seconds then drop your ass. It's a rush, especially from the front and center seat. The car is only three rows deep but about 11 seats wide so out on the edge you aren't even looking down at track.

Shock Wave (SF over Texas) Because its a great, smooth ride that's damn near as old as I am. Been riding it for years.

Mr. Freeze (SF over Texas) Altogether my favorite theme park ride right now.

Astroworld - Texas Cyclone.

Gone now, demolished in 2005 to become some parking lot or something.

Still waiting.

There was a Wild Mouse in New Orleans at Pontchartrain Beach which became six flags.

But they spelled it Wild Maus.

Orient Express is my all time favorite and probably always will be. The Joyland Rollercoaster is a good one too. Though its a mild coaster, Fire In The Hole at SDC will always be a favorite as well. I cannot wait to ride the new wooden coaster at SDC, Outlaw Run I think its called, that looks just plain awesome. For those that love the Orient Express, if you are ever in the Smokey Hills in Tennessee, visit Dollywood and ride the Tennessee Tornado, its not the same as the OE but does have some smiliarities.

There is an awesome video on YouTube of a compluter replica with one of the songs from The Good The Bad The Ugly. Not the main theme but from the same artist. Ill have to post the link when I get home as I cannot access YouTube here, but it just makes me want to ride it even more.

No love for the Shussboomer?

It definitely had the fear aspect - in that you were afraid you were going to run into another car, the rail, or the whole thing was just going to fall apart at any minute.

Did they sell that coaster to the Kansas State Fair? There was one just like that in the 80s and early 90s, Im not sure if they still have it, I have not been there since then.
