Who do you ride roller coasters with?

Most of the time I go with my wife (newly married, still weird to type that word), but sometimes my older brother and I take a day apart from the women folk to go to PKI, since my wife doesn't like it there (hard to imagine, I know). Also, I have several trips planned for the summer with a friend from Bolivia-they don't really have any coasters worth mentioning there, so he is dying to ride as many as he can.

Living in Oregon,coaster enthusiasts are about as rare as coasters around here.Most of the time ,I ride alone.If I go to a park with my family,my kids will ride with me while my wife watches(she won't ride coasters or any thrill ride for that matter)If my grandaughter is with us,I will ride the kiddy coasters with her(coaster enthusiast in training)

If i go with my girlfriend then shes the one i ride with. But i usually go to parks wit my other friends and i ride with them. If i wanna ride a ride bad enough then ill ride it alone.

Fortunately my girlfriend likes coasters but shes not an enthusiast like me....other times I go with my cousins who live near magic mountain and who have season passes, I can't wait to ride X all summer long.

im a loner so i sit alone...... j/k i sit with my friend who goes 2 parks with me

Out of the coasters i've ridden here is what I rank them overall:(ive been to canobie lake and SFNE)
1. S:RoS 2. Yankee Cannonball 3. Riverside Cyclone 4. Canobie
Corkscrew 5. Thunderbolt 6. Galaxy 7. Mind Eraser 8. Dragon coaster 9. poison ivy's tangl

Cousins, brother and my mom. yes my mom. were more like friends rather than mother and son, which i'm thankful for.

Whichever girl I happen to be dating at the time. Don't know if that's good or bad.. Make for interesting stories when most of my on ride photos I end up with have different girls in em. :)

I usually go to parks with other enthusiast friends, but my wife wants to start going a lot with me now, so that's awesome. :) I also tend to frequent parks with my brother too, as well as my cousins. My mom wants me to take her back to SFMW so she can get some more rides on Medusa...I turned her into a monster. Awesome! ;)
-----------------

My brother and cousin are both enthusiasts and almost always accompany me when I go to parks. So, I ride with them on most of my trips. And since I'm the oldest in the group, I dictate where we will ride. :)

On MF I rode with a Tom Green lookalike.

i ride with oherian a great deal. we both like different things in coasters so it provides a pretty objective opinion when going to parks.

Usually with my daughters.

Normally I go or meet up with some of my friends at the parks, or my dad will sometimes join me as he has been riding coasters since the Euclid Beach days. But many times, I will just go to a park on my own. As I mentioned once before in a post, I sometimes like going solo. There's no bickering as to what to ride next, no arguing over where to eat, and in many cases, I get to meet new people. The folks in the queues at Kennywood were especially friendly and even after they found out I was a Cleveland Browns fan, they were still very nice. The only downside to visiting Kennywood solo is not being able to ride the Thunderbolt. I know they'll team up single riders, but the one time I did that, a MUCH larger person than me was already in the car (I weigh a paltry 147 pounds... and have been losing weight lately)... which resulted in a rather painful whirlwind section!

99% of the time, I ride with my husband, but there are times when there are other people are in our group (GregLeg, Raven-Phile and other friends) and I'll take a spin with someone else. Sometimes it's a nice change to ride with someone you don't normally ride with. Greg and I had a great day on PR and Josh and I had an outrageous ride on the Big Dipper at SFWoA together.

I ride with my clothes. In other words, usually alone. Not always, when I go with people, its people from work.

I tend to ride coasters a lot with my friends. When I take my coaster road trips out to the eastcoast I usualy bring a friend with for a ride partner. Hopefuly this year I will be able to bring a couple of lady friends ;). And sometimes since I get free admission to Valleyfair I usualy will come in and ride coasters alone if I'm board or cant find anything to do.
