Most definitions of it I've seen are a bit vague - it has a very specific meaning in the world of roller-coasters.

More of a wannabe fanatic - absolutely love 'em, but haven't ridden anywhere near as many as I'd like to have, due to financial constraints - if I could I'd do a world tour of 'coaster parks.

man really want to go to cedar point but it is a bitch to get to from Scotland. Would have to fly to New York or Toronto then get to it form there.


p.s.

That Oblivion ride looks absolutely crap! all it is has is one vertical drop!? WTF If you liked that though, you need to try Sheikra in Busch Gardens. Similar ride with the vertical drop, but it is higher and has more to it.

Admittedly, Oblivion is only really great the first time round - those 3seconds of 'hang time' seem like forever.
