    Note that it's sponsored by Raytheon. Presumably they're collecting data on the most effective uses of hydraulics and fans to make people throw up, which they will then sell to Google for use with the Stingrays.

    Back in spring 2003 I used the simulator they had in Disneyquest over at Disney World. I basically put in as many loop-the-loops and corkscrews as I was allowed, strapped in, and nearly hurled.

    It was fantastic.

    So, now you got a line to get on the ride that doesn't move because there are too many people taking FAR too long to create their own roller coaster experience.

    Couples would be the worst. He wanting more loops and she wanting to retain her lunch just a bit longer.

    @smegz: Knowing Disney it probably only gives you a short time to design the coaster before it finishes the track it's self timed to the time it takes to run the coaster for the people in front of you.

    And most Disney rides run reservation pass lines now so the people waiting are the ones who chose to wait.

    True Story: Grad Nite at Disneyland in the early 80s. Almost 5 AM, going thru Pirates of the Caribbean when it's so empty that every other boat only has two people on it. Climbed out of the boat at part where the treasure is located. Played with the plastic treasure for about five minutes as other boats went buy. Then jumped back into an empty boat and headed out. A couple of people took pics of me, wish I had one.


    Best ride ever.

    The Peter Pan ride at Disney Land is kinda trippy. But really I just like any coaster where I don't have to wait forever to ride.

    @zenpoet: Yeah, this topic didn't really interest me enough to read the comments. Figured I would just throw my two words (with attached apology) into the pond and shuffle on to something else...


    I didn't even realize the comments were already on pg2 when I posted. Oh well, at least Scotland got an opportunity to make himself feel special, well at least until he fcuked it up. loltard.

    On Topic: I don't get to too many amusement parks, but I did make it out to 6 flags in San Diego a few times, and their superman ride was pretty sweet.


    Off Topic: Many years ago, while working at Gateway, a girl I knew told me during work that she dreamed I was a ride in an amusement park. She told me this in front of my girlfriend, so I never did find out what the ride was. And, in a strange irony, my girlfriend was not amused by her statement.

    @EBone: What amusement park do you have out there? Or near there? I dated a girl from San Diego and we went out to some park a few times. I am positive that it was a Six Flags, but I do know we had to drive for a while.

    Goliath - Magic Mountain. I have never before nearly blacked out on a roller coaster, but i did on this one. Pure awesomeness, and nothing beats that view at the top of the frop - San Ferando Valley smog in the distance and rolling hills all around. Magic Mountain, I love you.

    @htifun: Are you kidding me? I have extreme acrophobia and I thought Goliath was tame. The ride up is kinda scary-ish because it takes so long, but I don't know, once it started to go down, it wasn't that bad. But then again, it was the best one I rode on.

    I don't know. Something at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, I'm sure. They don't call it the "Roller Coaster Capital of the World" for nothing.
