Most exhilarating experience in rides?

#1 for me is first drop on SFNE's Superman: ROS - in ANY seat, but especially in the front.

#2 is my first ever rides on Boulder Dash - which happened at NIGHT - just incredible nonstop speed in the darkness -- intensely exhilarating!! Thank God for no trim brakes!

#1 - First ride on MF, front row at night.

#2 - 300 ft skycoaster at Old Town in Orlando

Exhilarating Experiences:

-Launches

-B&M coasters

-Rides

-Lift hills (For some reason I find launches and lift hills fun)

-The Entire experience on TTD

-Jack Rabbit's double drop

-Incredible Hulk's launch tunnel

-BKF first drop

-MF first drop

-Raptor diving down coming out of the mcbr(no brakes on)

------------------
1. Top Thrill Dragster
2. Raptor (without trims)
3. Millenium Force
4. Incredible Hulk
5. Kumba

My personal best exhilarating experiences (read experiences I truly enjoyed without fear).

1. TTD's launch

2. The Legend - the entire RIDE is exhilarating

3. MF's first drop

4. Raptor without trims

5. Raging Bull in the back seat (actually I giggled all the way through every single time)

If you want to add fear into the mix:

Ripcord

Power Tower Drop side

Sitting in The back seat on Raging Bull and Millenium Force's first drop.

Wicked Twisters backward Spiral.

Montu's Immelan and Batwing.

Mambas Intense Helix Headchopper.

Anything Millennium Force is overrated (in my opinion). I don't know why it did nothing for me (including that 30-storey dive). I loved Magnum XL-200 though. It's first drop was a wallop. It delivered a sharp gutt-wrenching sensation I never got on any of the other hyper-coasters I've ridden.

Other exhilerating experiences...my first Impulse Coaster - Screaming Condor at Leofoo Village Theme Park (Taiwan).

X's first drop and half-twist. Eek.

The Outer Limits Flight of Fear (back in '99) that thing was mad crazy, even though it hurt like a mother. Never had been suddenly accelerated into a dark bowl of madtrack, it was quite terrifying.

Supreme Scream *yowza!* -1.5 G of downward thrust!

- Ejector air in the back seat on Cyclops

- Volcano's s-l-o-w Zero-G rolls

- The out-of-control feeling of CCI coasters at night (especially Ghostrider, Raven, Legend and Boss)

- The feeling of free-fall at the end of Spiderman

- Snapping the cables on Flying Scooters

X-Flight's loop

The Beast's double helix

Any element on Lightning Racer

Geez, I could go on.

and of course, the LAUNCH on TTD...........nothing on this earth can compare the insanity (front row preferably).

Top Thrill Dragster..from queue to launch to brake run...seriously, insanely intense. and FUN.

MFs first drop, back seat, in the rain. 'nuf said.

the insane view one gets at the top of Shivering Timbers' lift hill...you look out and all you see is hills and more hills...

the crazy airtime you get on Viper at SFGAm...most underrated coaster in existence....

the feeling that Demon at SFGAm actually has a mind/life of its own and once you come off that lift chain, you belong to IT...

------------------
mela en coiamin Legolas...
it aint the size of the arrow, its what you do with the bow

I would have to say this:

1. Top Thrill Dragster's Launch - sweetest thing ever

2. Millennium Force - First ride - the first turnaround didn't even look real.

3. Raging Bull - The first ever ride in April of 1999.

BMCOASTER

bmcoaster@wi.rr.com

-Drachen Fire corkscrew at the top of the hill. I almost get dizzy when your completely upside down completly out of your seats staring strait down at the grass knowing the only thing that is keeping you from falling is the harness,and it's going so slow at that point it feels like your up there forever.

-The whole entire Drachen Fire ride. I know it sounds werid ,but I like a rough,fast, and rattely rollercoaster that makes you say,How did I live through that? after getting off. And sadly Drachen fire was the only ride that had that kind of thrill.

-Alpengeist at night. When riding at night it feels like it's going alot faster,and it feels like the track is completely different.

-Outer Limits Flight of Fear(99). Like on Drachen fire heres another rough ride that leaves my knees shaking when I get off. And as Krax said theres nothing like looking ahead and just see a dark black whole knowing you'll be there in seconds.

-OTFoFs blast off. This is the only rollercoaster i've ridden that blast off right from the station. Most of the newer ones,XLC,TTD etc move ahead a little bit to the acculy lanch pad. But in FoF it's such an adrenaline rush to not have any idea when your going to take off.

Between station and lift on the Giant Dipper Santa Cruz.

Thunderbolt's first drop right out of the station in the back seat.

Turn 9 at California Speedway (see profile).

First ride on the launched Power Tower. Millenium Force. Magnum's bunny hops. The entire course of Raptor in the front row. Near one click ride on SROS at SFDL. One click ride on the Predator in the second last row. Sky Coaster at SFDL. SOB-entire ride. Beast-entire ride. First ride on a topspin, lsot their touch after a few. And of course my first ride on a real coaster, the Viper at SFDL.

1. First Drop on SFNE's Superman

2. Yankee Cannonballs first drop and constant airtime

3. Montu's Underground ButterFly or Batwing..

------------------
#1 Canobie Lake Park Fan!!! My top 7 coasters:
1. S:RoS @ SFNE 2. Montu 3. Yankee Cannonball 4. Kumba 5. Gwazi 6. Cyclone (SFNE) 7. B:DK

This is kind of a strange one: ride Gemini in the last seat and turn your head around and try and stare at the track behind you while goin down the hill. It will make you clench your teeth, tense your stomach like never before, and utter a sound kinda like eheheheehehahhhhhh. Make sure to turn around before you get to the bottem.

One Love

My absolute favorite sensation is falling backwards off of the hill into the loop on a Vekoma boomerang coaster. The feel in the top of the loop is amazing, I love it.

The entire ride on X.

Most Drop rides.

TDD's Launch.

My 1st ride on an Invert.

My First ride on Superman the Escape.

1. While not actually feeling any physical force, seeing your frst roller coaster.
2. Bungee Jumping off of a tower in front of Circus Circus.

lose one coaster, lose all coasters, than you will lose yourself
