Yes
Six Flags, CA and Cedar Point, OH
No
Top Thrill Dragster @ Cedar Point
The best I've been to is probably Tatsu at Six Flags in LA and the roller coaster on top of the 'New York, New York' hotel in Vegas. :) |

I hated rollercoasters as a kid, but of course that has changed. Many hate that stomach drop feeling, but for me, I think its the lack of control. If I sat in the front and I was, say, "driving" the rollercoaster, I would have probably had a blast.
It's all the same to me now, though. Haven't been on one in a little while now that I think about it.
My personal fav...
The Viper - Six Flags, Gurnee Mills, IL
That's the best pic I could find, and who knows if it still exists, seeing as how I haven't been to Six Flags Gurnee, IL in a long time.
All wood, very old fashioned, and fast as . There's a point where its actually dangerous to put your hands in the air since the tunnel is so narrow. |

not really, but it is a sickening thrill when i'm on one i suppose. kingda ka at six flags great adventure is ridiculous.
the loop is a quarter mile from the loading area. you're travelling upwards of 100 miles an hour in under three seconds, on the track in the foreground, go up the loop and spiral 270 degrees. then you come back and hit the speed bump on the way back. all this is in under a minute. it's sick. |

did that the year it came out. If you rode it before you can agree with me the scariest part is waiting until you hear the blow horn.
It typically makes it over the top peak but sometimes not:p

I love roller coasters.
We have a few parks in Canada with the 2 main ones being La Ronde ( which is part of Six Flags now) in Montreal and Paramount Canada's Wonderland in Ontario. Wonderland just got this ride called the 'Bahemoth', it's pretty bad ass but there are a of better ones in different parks that I'd love to tackle.
I don't have a favorite yet. And I'm dying to go to Cedar Point. |

Best one I've ever rode in for sure.
edit: fastest (128 mph) and tallest (456 ft) of the world, for those wondering. |
