this may sound stupid, but what are frog hoppers?
I like Turbo Force at SFGAdv.

all kinds of free falls and space shots are pretty thrilling. more so then coasters.

Supreme Scream much more than anything else I've been on. It makes me the most nervous and thrills me the most.
What is the Supreme Scream?
I like the Power Tower at CP
And no one has brought up Chaos
(I love that ride)
Supreme Scream at Knott's Berry Farm is a 325 foot tall drop ride with about a 254 foot drop. I think its one of the tallest in the world if not the tallest.
Hypersonic's Launch!!! Whoa, that thing just takes off!!
Beast at night in front row. :)
I also have to say Dr. Doom's freefall, they rock you there forever with the evil lights staring at you, and you never ever know when you will launch. Hey, did anyone else notice something sickly perverted about the frog hoppers? They are fun 'lil rides, but look where you put your legs!

Life is a roller coaster...enjoy the ride!

As far as I know, Supreme Scream is the tallest in the world. I know Power Tower was until SS was built. The only one that might be taller (at the moment) is Blue Fall in Japan. I think it might be a 300 foot drop. I will have to research that one...:)

;)Rollercoasters are like parrots...if you take care of them, they should outlive you;)
Intamin Giant Drops are my favorite. You just sit at the top for what seems like an eternity and then you plummet to the earth in an uncontrolled free fall (unlike S&S towers which have a controlled free fall that don't go as fast).

Spiderman at IOA. It almost felt like a coaster and a wild ride through NYC, exactly what a simulator is supposed to do.
After that it would probably be the antique car rides :)

The Zipper! I don't know if this ride is in any parks, but it is very intense. Plus it's a differnt ride every time, you never know what to expect.
Supreme Scream, or any other s&s ride.
Giant Drop did, but now i know it's 3-2-1 drop!
Any Freefall ride, especially the ones over 200 ft. After much debate, I think I like the S&S ones better - but Drop Zone at PKI is pretty intense, but I've only ridden it once, so it's hard to compare it to the S&S towers.
By the way, who makes Twilight Zone Tower of Terror in Orlando ? It drops you multiple times like an S&S tower, but the cars seem more like a 1st generation Intamin. Why don't we see multiple drops on freefalls other than the S&S towers (The 2nd and 3rd drops are actaully pretty weak on the S&S ones - why don't they refine it so it shoots you all the way to the top again) ?
