What is your guilty Pleasure?

SOB at PKI.

Space Mountain at DL/WDW.

Disaster Transport at CP.

Vekoma Rollerskaters. :)

Besides Hercules and Mean Streak, I really like all of the coasters mentioned. They aren't so bad at all and some of them (like Kumba and FOF) are among my favorites to ride anywhere.

I couldn't think of any, but then somebody mentioned Gwazi. Awesome ride. Sure the loading times are horrendous and it doesn't duel, but it's a lot better than people say it is. Great laterals and fast paced ride.

-----------------
The Whizzer is saved!!:)

I miss Drachen Fire (R.I.P. 1992-2002)

=(

I love the old Arrow loopers. I've never much headbanging on them. Examples would be Demon at Great America and Corkscrew at Cedar Point.

Koaster King, I like Disaster Transport too.

superman, who hates Riddler's? :)

I'm not the only one! These coasters are awesome! I don't know how, but they manage to give quite a kick and provide a fairly smooth ride. I also definately enjoy Vekoma Boomerangs.

I don't think there's anyone who doesn't like V2.And for me its Shock Wave, Iron Wolf, and Vekoma Boomerangs.

Let me add that I love Kong! Kong has always felt different than every other SLC to me. I feel like it has a different layout or kick to it, even though it's the same as all the other. I do, however, miss the orange and brown paint job, it fit more with the name and minor theming.

Lake Compounce-So Fresh and So Clean Clean

My guilty pleasures are:

Carolina Goldrush at Carowinds

Blazing Fury at Dollywood, cant beat that theming

and Meteor Attack at Carowinds, everyone says its boring, but I like it

Viper at SFGadv. I don't find it rough at all if I sit in the front row. The drop is incredible compared to other drops under 100 feet, it has some of the best hangtime on its first inversion, and its heartline is probably the best I've been on with the exception of Chiller's zero-g roll. My only complaints about the ride are its sandbag shoulder restraints and its not-so-overbanked turns at the end.
Space Mountain at WDW! I could ride it all day long. I love it.

195 coasters ridden -- Faves: Shivering Timbers, Ghostrider, Twister, Hershey Wildcat, Lightning Racer
Im going to have to agree with previous posters on this board by saying that Viper at Great Adventure is my guilty pleasure. Sure it hurts... A LOT at that, but its so unique, and I must be a sadist seeing how I get sick pleasure seeing my friends faces after a ride on this Togo wonder.

One of my personal favorites is Big Dipper at SFWoA. People don't give that coaster enough credit.

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

if you want to get into not as respected or widely recognized as it should be Speed: The Ride at Sahara's hotel is by far the most underrated coaster, The Launches are intense and fun and the loop is perfection and please who can't deny 5 seconds of airtime in the front. It isn't a guilty pleasure for me it is my #1 that everyone who rides it likes it, but not enough people ride it for it to get top 25 or top 10 status. And people it gasp does not need the OTSR taken off because it is silk as is.

The Frog Hop things in the kiddie sections of parks. They look dumb, but they're scary as hell! If you go on those things, they slowly go up like 10 feet and then they drop you really quickly all the way to the ground and your stomach just shoots up into your throat. And they do it like five times! So you get the stomach-dropping rush of, say a 200 ft. drop tower times five! You get such a rush after those things...

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

I am so surprised all the people that said Hercules. I woudl also say Hercules because it was my first coaster so it is a totally sentimental thing.


Also, I absolutely love the front seat of Mantis. I love seeing the huge track in front of you, the curve right before the drop, and the hang time on the vertical loop. It is my favorite vertical loop. :oP

Rollercoaster:

Sky Streak at Boblo (long gone)

TV Show:

was Melrose Place

now Gilmore Girls

-----------------
WARNING: May be habit forming

The only park I go to enough to consider skipping any coaster is SFNE. And while i'm there, i always have to ride Thunderbolt. I love that ride! I think it's because they still have the buzz bar on the trains, so even the small hills have crazy air.

If we're including non-coaster rides, I also make everyone ride Houdini (Vekoma Mad House) while I'm there, despite the complaints of my friends that it's boring. I don't know why i like that ride so much, but it's definitely a guilty pleasure.

peace, love, coasters.
