I love roller coasters, and i was wondering if anybody on here shares this love. My favorite would have to be the millennium force with its 300ft+ drop and traveling over 90mph. What is the best roller coaster that you have ridden?

Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion. I rode it the 2nd day that it was open and blacked out on the first turn. I came to like halfway throughout the ride and was like da fuq just happened. Now they put some safety shit on so its not as fun anymore.

Quote about modifications to it:
"Some riders experienced problems due to the G-forces inherent in the ride's original design. Riders reported greying or blacking out after the first drop. Kings Dominion temporarily installed trim brakes on the first drop in order to reduce the speed while a long-term solution could be devised. The brakes were adjusted and positioned by late May 2010."

i rode kingda ka and thought it was just too short. The launch is pretty awesome though.

Giga coasters are amazing. Ive ridden mellenium force, leviathan and hopefully intimidator 305 in july. Its too bad the tallest and fastest non-launch coaster is in japan.

Busch gardens in WIlliiamsburg, Alpengeist
Busch gardens in Tampa, Sheikra.
It's been a long time since I've been to Denver, but I remember the Superman coaster being fun.
