    ahhhh I need to go to more theme parks! I've only been to Flamingo Land and Lightwater Valley (back in the day).
    How were your knees after the Ultimate? I'd say it's probably the most damaging... xD

    Stealth at Thorpe Park is amaaaaaazing.
    I've always liked Air at Alton Towers as well, although Oblivion is scarier.
    totally agree with this

    stealth is quite possibly one of the weirdest/scariest things ever - really got the adrenaline going! my little brother came off and couldnt talk cuz he was so overcome :L

    definitely, agreeing with the op, air cos it makes me feel like supermaan(woman), and collasus because its the first rollercoaster id ever been on( this is after being forced on it because i always had a fear of them) and its still fast and fun no matter how many times i go on it

    I spent the first few times of colossus counting how many times it goes upside down xD because it goes upside down more than any other ride in the country or something like that :L

    Stealth at Thorpe Park, and the Huracan Condor at Port Aventura. The latter seems at first glance to be one of those generic "mega drop" rides, except when you actually go on it you're literally just dangling standing up rather than sitting down, and it's scary as hell. One of the only rides I've actually been somewhat scared to ride once being on it. The Incredible Hulk at Disneyland in the US (Florida) is pretty damn good too. Stealth is probably my favourite all things considered, it'd be perfect if it lasted longer. Colossus and the Dragon Khan (again at Port Aventura) probably come second/third.

    I think it held a world record for inversions at one point, the cheeky little bastard section at the end completely took me by surprise when I first went on it, thinking it was over and then suddenly inverting like 4 times in the space of 5 seconds lol.

    Stealth, 30 seconds of pure anal speed leakage.

    Kraken at Sea World Florida is pretty awesome, as is the Hulk at Universal Islands of adventure.

    Sheikra in Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. Amazing ride!

    It has 2 vertical drops! If it had a black hole like Oblivion, Alton Towers it would've been even better, but its still amazing.

    this looks epic!
    It's absolutely sick, first went on it at age 12, was convinced I wouldn't survive until my feet were back on the ground
