Yeah, the time that I got to ride it in the dark I waited for the front seat...it was amazing! I used to live in Indiana so I've been to King's Island quite a few times.

I'll have to try that sometime! However, we always seem to leave around 5:30 or so. Plus I've only been to King's Island twice, so I can't say I've had too much experience with everything. :wink:

But I am going again next summer!

BTW, what part of Indy did you live in? I'm in the central area.

I used to hate rollercoasters that went upside down. Then I went to Alton Towers and that changed. Air convinces me the most.

I love them, but usually I can't go more than once without a break. My stomach doesn't like them (stupid stomach). The best one I've ever been on is Colossus in Heidepark Soltau, the biggest wooden rollercoaster in the world. It's impressive!

I lived on the south side of Indianapolis...basically as far south as you can get before you hit Greenwood. My mom still lives there, but the last time I visited was about 6 years ago.

I didn't used to be too keen on them, but went on one and wanted to go again. But I'd always said i'd NEVER go on one that went upside down, then i did it by accident, crapped myself, and wanted to go again. so yeah.

If anyone is curious I went to the Texas state fair last weekend and rode a roller coaster for the first time in about 10 years, that's why I started this. Other than that I think Six Flags is the only place with them around my general area.

I love roller coasters. I used to try to go to Hershey Park on the less popular days so I could ride the less popular coasters over and over again without having to wait in line. I wish I could have one in my backyard.

Zip lines are fun too. Anyone else like them?

What are zip lines?

So you were near Beech Grove or that area? I live on the northside of Indianapolis, so I'm not really too familar with the southside. We usually just stay up here or head down to the eastside.

Yeah, near that area. A little south of 465 and a little west of 65. My ex-husband lived in Noblesville, so I knew your area somewhat.

I really, really hate roller coasters. Even the "mild" ones scare me half to death. I can deal with going fast in a straight line, like in a car or in an airplane that's taking off... but for some reason, not so good at going up and down and tilting from side to side. (And probably not loops. But I've never tried one with loops. I value my sanity too much.)

I'm in Carmel! My mom and I just moved here about a year and a half or so ago. I used to live on the east side so that's why we still go down to that area. We typically don't make it down to the southside though. But we have been going to Greenwood a lot lately. My mom loves the J.C. Penney Home Store there!

I miss Astroworld.

I'm closer to Six Flags over Texas now, though (I'm in Wichita Falls, about 150 miles northwest of Dallas).

I miss Astroworld, too. Even if I did only get to go there twice...
