Second after that is the Hulk coaster at Island of Adventure, Florida

I didn't like that one, too much like Rockin Rollercoaster and it just hurt my head. But Dueling Dragons man...THAT was AWESOME!!! My favorite roller coaster ever! *The ice dragon is better*

I like Six Flags over Georgia pretty well as far as amusement parks go. Superman and Batman!! Now they just need a Spiderman...


Too bad for them Universal owns the rights to Spider-Man rides. Universal Studios Orlando has a Spider-Man ride. I've never ridden it, but it sounds pretty cool.

And Cali, Revenge of the Mummy rocks! Fastest indoor roller coaster, and then when it goes backwards...wonderful! I'm assuming you've ridden the one in Orlando, and I've only ridden the one in Hollywood. I wonder how similar/different they are.

We went to Universal Studios a few years ago and thought Revenge of the Mummy was great and we also liked the Dueling Dragons.

But....overall we were very disappointed in the parks. We had heard such good things so we bought the 5 day pass in order to go to both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. By the 3rd day we had done everything we wanted to and went on the roller coasters multiple times. We didn't even go back the last 2 days. The parks were really not as big as I'd anticipated, given the hype we had heard. We could have easily done 1 park per day. That third day we just kind of wandered around feeling like we were supposed to be doing SOMETHING in order to get our money's worth. We were expecting MORE.....more roller coasters, more big attractions.

We probably won't ever go back again unless they really beef it up. Did anyone else feel the same way?

Yeah, that was pretty much my experience in a nutshell. My family got season passes last year and we went twice, once for one week, once for two, but we always got bored by the second day. Well, they did, I could've ridden Revenge of the Mummy and Dueling Dragons all week. But beyond that, it does get old real fast. Except we were there for the Halloween and Mardi Gras festivals, and those were pretty cool. Got lots of great pictures!

Okay Cali....I can understand why Cat has never heard of or been to Cedar Point. She has a wonderful excuse why she's never been (an ocean is a good enough reason for me ;) ). But why haven't YOU ever been there? It's just up the road a piece (well Rt 77, anyway) near Cleveland. You could be there in about 10 hours.

If you can convince your family to make the trip I guarantee you would be a convert and Carowinds would completely lose it's appeal to you.

I'd never heard of it. That's my excuse. I feel ashamed, but I don't research the things I love. But, I shall have to try to convince the parents <_<

I don't know about Orlando, but you can easily see all of Universal Studios Hollywood in one day, without buying the straight of the line pass or having a wheelchair to go to the front or whatever. I actually really like that, though. One day, don't have to go back and spend even more money, don't feel like you missed anything. Perfect size.

IOA (Islands of Adventure) has the best coasters. Dueling Dragons is awesome. And Hulk rocks.

My favorite is Sea World's Kraken in Orlando, Florida. 

Ah, I love the Kraken! That is a great coaster!

Overall, Busch Gardens Florida has the best coasters!

The Sheik-Ra at Busch Gardens in Tampa is simply amazing! The 90 degree angle, 200 ft drop is exhilarating! If you go, GET IN THE FRONT ROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe none of you have mentioned Busch Gardens yet!

The Hulk is also a great coaster. So is the Dueling Dragons and Revenge of the Mummy, although RotM is more like a gimmick ride. Does it really count?

Personally, I have been on the Rock and Roller Coaster and Space Mountain in Disney Land, Disney World and Euro Disney, and, as a gift for travelers, both coasters are better in..............

Paris than in Orlando and Aneheim!

Space Mountain in France is like "YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

Space Mountain in Orlando and Aneheim is like "It's the thought that counts...."

Also, the lines in EuroDisney are shorter.

I have a feeling the poster meant "Walt Disney WORLD."

If you don't live in either Orlando or Anaheim it's easy to confuse Disneyland with Disney World.

I live near Disney World, which is where the Rockin' Roller Coaster is.

You wouldn't believe some of the questions Disney cast members field in the course of a day at work for the Rat.

"What time is the three o'clock parade?"

Yes, people really ask that.

So I don't think they're getting the parks confused.

Not that it matters, or anything. I'm just kind of wondering if they meant the Rock n' Roller Coaster at WDW & Disneyland Paris and Space Mountain at DL, WDW, and DP, and just worded the sentence in a confusing way, or if they confused another roller coaster at Disneyland for the Rock n' Roller Coaster... maybe Mulholland Madness, or something like that?

.....neither of you has obviously been to Cedar Point. All true rollercoaster freaks must visit Cedar Point (and I'm sure the same could be said for Six Flags Magic Mountain.....but since I've never been to California...*shrugs*)

Sure Dueling Dragons is great but to say Islands of Adventure has the best coasters? :o It's not even considered to be a 'roller coaster' park but a theme park. I was bored with IA after less than one day.
