What is your guilty Pleasure?

I would also have to add ShockWave at SFGAm (R.I.P.1988- 2002) to my list as well as other Arrow coasters such as Demon @ SFGAm.

My guilty pleasures (if you want to call them that) are Iron Dragon (it's bad ass, admit it people), Flight of Fear (excellent theming for a Paramount park, intimidating, and very intense), elephant ears, Marlboro Lights, and cheap prosti........

....oh, I thought we were talking about rollercoasters. Is it getting hot in here? ;)

Mantis, i would have to say. Yes it is a little rough, but not horrible. I love the figure eight at the end.

Kumba definitely. Easily my favorite coaster I've ever ridden, yet most people feel its mediocre or horrible. And Mantis is my number two coaster, so put me on that list too. I'll take a spot on the SLC, Boomerang and Hersheypark Wildcat lists as well. Oh yea, and Gwazi (ok so all the GCIs)

Just don't be stupid. It's really not that hard.

To all the peeps that said Demon. Of course its a guilty pleasure because back seat on this Arrow themed looper kicks ass and takes names.

-----------------
2 superheroes in Gurnee next season? Oh the humanity. :)

Desperado is way, way, way, way, way, way better than it gets credit for around here. Rode it when it first opened, and again last year. Didn't notice that much difference. A little rougher, yes, but nothing more than usual.

I have three that many hate, but I seem to love. probably a few more have been spoiled by public opinion, too. Twister II of Six Flags Elitch Gardens, Hurricane of Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, and Six Flags Magic Mountain's Goliath are mine.

-----------------
I talked with the Dippin' Dots guy and he assured me that Cedar Point was to get that 10-inversion terra-woodie-invert-stand-up because Magnum is sinking. The current construction is for the new super-Dippin' Dots stall he is to run.

I can't tolerate most old Arrow headbangers but GASM is an exception. The Carolina Cyclone is a very rare exception! It rocks!

Looks like so many people are taking certain coasters as their guilty pleasures, they don't qualify anymore.

-----------------

Shockwave at PKD and Viper at Sfgadv.

Mean Streak....by far.

The Boss, no doubt. I don't see why everyone who loves The Legend doesn't rave about The Boss.

And I'll have to mention Desperado and Manhatten Express. No where near the reputation they've got.

Without the chaindog, you'd never get up the lifthill...

Mean Streak. I admit it.

Um, either you meant Blazing Fury at Dollywood or Fire in the Hole at Silver Dollar City.

Oh yeah, I forgot Drachen Fire (sniff) R.I.P.

-----------------

Arrow Loopers, Raging Wolf Bobs, B&M standups, and Vekoma coasters. I don't understand how someone can't take a little bump, because that's as bad as it usually gets. Don't break a nail... ;)

Never Has Gravity Been So Uplifting.

I love the Serial Thriller at SFWoA. For being an SLC it's pretty impressive. Most of my friends have been on it before and know that it is nothing like the Raptor, so right away they hate it. There is something about it, maybe it was the night that I got to ride with just my one friend in the front seat numerous times. It's such an under rated ride, and I have no idea where people get the headbanging idea.

My name is Sean and I am an alcoholic...I mean...I really love the Vekoma Boomerang.

I love Riddlers Revenge at SFMM... easily the coaster I love most on this planet. Especially getting a place somewhere in the middle of the train where the physics work best... I always get wet eyes just thinking about those smooth and perfectly designed inversions.

Can I get absolution on that one?

I loved Gwazi, but many people I know hated it, they said it was really rough! I loved the air you get, and the near misses with the other train!
