Do you like coasters that launch you at high speeds, or traditional coasters that bring you up the lift hill slowly? Wood vs metal?
My only claim to fame is riding Kingda Ka (tallest coaster… is it still the tallest), don’t know that much about coasters except that they’re fun!
Nothing beats the feeling of slowy getting pulled up for me. Fear and Adrenaline building up more and more until you finally get to set free is what it’s all about for me. A quickstart is nice, but can’t compete due the lack of “teasing”?
The best example I could quickly think of for what I mean is this bad boy right here. Pure helplessnes as you’re just dangling there on 90 degrees while criminally slowly being dragged up ~50 meters into the air. And being kept in that position for what feels like eternity before finally getting let loose. Pure perfection. 🤤
i can’t tell if I’m on a community about rollercoasters or some erotic fetish LOL
ok but seriously I take your point. that feeling, especially when the coaster is at the top of the lift hill and is almost… going… to… disengage!
hahaha I am “glad” it wasn’t just me feeling that way typing it all out :D
Ohhh yes, how could I forget about that! Add well made belts into the mix and you truly feel like you’re in actual danger, close to slipping out and getting yeeted off the ride Ü
I’ve wanted to ride one of those skyloops so bad. There is only one in the US that I’m hoping I can get to before anything happens to it. Maurer hasn’t built one of these since 2015.
Huh, TIL there’s more of these Ö
I hope you get your chance to get on one! Ü
