One at Dorney Park. I forget the name though.... The Talon? Voodoo is good too, but the ride's too short.

El Toro at Great Adventure. It's a wooden coaster with a fairly big drop at the beginning, and the feeling that you'll be launched out of your seat at the top of a hill. Other than that, I guess Nitro at the same park. A bigger drop at the beginning, and faster, but not as scary.

Something from thorpe park.
Probably Nemesis or Air. or the other, superfast one whose name i forget.
You're probably thinking of Stealth.
That's the one. Bloody amaying rollercoaster.

3...2...1...GO GO GO!
You mean Rita: Queen of Speed? The one at Alton Towers where you are hurtled at 60mph in one second immediately after the announcer shouts "3...2...1...GO GO GO!"

Toss up between Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point, Ohio. Both are amazingly epic.

.

Rita.

EDIT: Ninja'd!

I love the blackpool Rickities - Big Dipper, Grand National, etc.

In fact, I just love Blackpool pleasure beach because if you go off-season its DEAD.

Rita Queen of Speed is basically a copy of Stealth. I prefer Stealth, but they're both awesome.

What is hands down the best roller coaster or thrill ride you have ever ridden.

Mine is Alpengeist from Busch Gardens Europe in Williamsburg, VA.
GASP! where do you live? I live about 20 minutes from Busch Gardens Europe, Alpengeist and Apollo's Chariot are my favorite rollercoasters. Busch Gardens got some good ones!
I always liked Big Bad Wolf. I could never get the courage to go on Apollo's Chariot.

My favourite is definately Nemesis at Alton Towers, but only if I'm riding the front.

Although I'm pretty sure the drugs helped!

I get my adrenaline from different places nowadays and there isn't a single rollercoaster in existence that can equal either the rush from the GSXR or when I jumped out of a plane at 14,000ft.

I'm a proper adrenaline junkie, I need something pretty serious nowadays to make me look twice. Hopefully the 612ft drop off of Aucklands Sky Tower will sort me out later this year!

Goliath from Six Flags in Georgia. It was pretty big... I don't like roller coasters that go straight down and throw your stomach up into your throat.

I amost always forget to take off my glasses when I go on rollercoasters so I spend most of the time focused on the end of my nose, hoping my glasses don't fall off, rather than enjoying the experience.

I liked most of the ones at Alton Towers. Except the one that drops you straight down. I swore never to do that again.

Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ (which now has the Kingda Ka, the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world, but I haven't ridden that)

Big ride in vegas was probably the one that made me nearly pee myself. 1081 feet above the vegas strip, shot upwards at 45 mph. Oh, Cthulhu save me, that was a creepy ride for someone like me who was afraid of heighhts at the time.

Edit-roller caoaster-wise, I have to admit that Rock'n rollercoaster at Disney World was pretty damn cool, too.

You mean the Big Shot on top of Stratosphere Hotel in Nevada?
Yeah, 182 feet tall. A final altitude of 1,081 feet. Looks pretty creepy.

Big SHOT. That's the one, thanks for clarifying the name. Yeah, that thing was disturbing as hell when I first rode it. I hadn't been on many rides before that one, and my buddy was being a jackass until I went on it with him. Wow. Just...wow.

Pepsi Max at Blackpool is probably the biggest I've been on, the most fun is The Ultimate at Lightwater Valley.
