I'm off to my dads soon and we're going to Thorpe Park which led me to thinking..What are WF's favourite rollercoasters?
Mine has to be Nemesis(Alton Towers) or Infusion (Blackpool)

It's such a smooth ride. It feels like you're sitting on your couch, except 200 feet in the air.

I've only really ever been to Busch Gardens Europe and King's Dominion once, so I haven't really been on that many. But I'd have to say my favorite is Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens. It too has the interlocking loops like the coaster pictured above. Fun ride.

Has been at least two decades since I road the Orient Express. I recall attempting to scare my friend as we were waiting in line to ride it on a band trip, saying it was so weak and rickety that it could fall apart at any time. A month later, The front two cars derailed and hung over the edge. Thankfully, the only person hurt was a dumbass who bailed out. The Timberwolf killed a couple of (also dumbass) people, yet the structure still stands. NOT FAIR. |

However there was another incident on Timberwolf injuring about 2 dozen people. |

Whats the monster 90 degree ride at Busch Gardens Tampa? I cant remember, its unreal.
The Manta and the Kraken at Sea World Orlando are phenomenal, such tracks. I honestly think Sea Worlds coasters are the best in the world and i've been on ALOT.

Space mountain. It's not even that exciting, just the theme of it all stole my heart.
