I am, I had to be forced to go on my first rollercoaster by peer
pressure - cheers lads! From then on I've had to go on every one I
could - I still get scared but I know I#ll enjoy it so I override my
emotions, this is what we have in the UK:
Oblivion: World's first vertical drop rollercoaster - you go up a hill
round a corner then straight down into a black hole in the ground -
STRAIGHT DOWN!! :-)
Shockwave: World's first standing up rollercoaster - it's not that good
but the standing up thing is weird going through loops and twists.
The Big One: World's tallest wooden rollercoaster - haven't tried it
yet but it's BIG.
If you ever do a UK Trip I recommend 2 places to visit for highest
coaster concentration: Alton Towers: Oblivion, Nemesis (Hang-down one
- track above you), Black hole (The whole ride is pitch black - you
don't know where you are going), and many others.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach: The Big One and the biggest selection of
wooden rollercoasters anywhere - the have 11 IIRC.
What's the highest concentration of quality rollercoasters in the US?
