It's at the Mall of America, in what is now called "Nickelodeon Universe" but was originally "Camp Snoopy". Was initially called the Timberland Twister, but I think it got renamed when the park got rebranded for Nickelodeon. Hubby has been on it, and greatly enjoyed it. He likes roller coasters. I am content to watch them from the ground. ;-)Calli Arcalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14524395269982421961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-50803461931313408792009-03-11T10:55:00.000-07:002009-03-11T10:55:00.000-07:00the Tatsu coaster in Six FLags Magic mountain would be good for the next one in the series - you get to fly like superman - and see the ground/sky with noting between you.

It's a part of a little amusement park that's by they're cool and touristy water-front area. I went on it last year, and remember it as being way fun, but over way to fast!Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16397095740547137734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-71752774418227768222007-08-24T11:56:00.000-07:002007-08-24T11:56:00.000-07:00I've been on X at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Problem is that I'm a really tall guy, so my legs are longer than others. My legs felt like they were going to pop-off on that roller coaster. I almost knee'd myself in the face, it was total chaos for me. Goliath is way more fun, and the lines can be really short, like, 5 minute wait short.Kylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12808740925823353121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-17164192545296510882007-08-23T23:02:00.000-07:002007-08-23T23:02:00.000-07:00Great post.

The arm the ride is built on then swings out over the Las Vegas Strip so that you're suspended about 1100 feet in the air. Completely...well...insane. I ride it every time I go to Vegas.<BR/><BR/>The X-Scream is basically a 40 foot long piece of roller coaster track which they lift up and dump over the side of the building. There's nothing quite like facing the ground below when you can't see the end of the track! Then, just for good measure they lift the track and shake it a bit before pulling you back in.Ozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06640677737096674404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-39795915985379490652007-08-23T15:21:00.000-07:002007-08-23T15:21:00.000-07:00Into the water I think is in Dubai, if only for the sail like builing in the back.
