November 20, 201213 yr A question asking you about your coaster needs. For me its the speed. What about you guys?
November 20, 201213 yr I voted for positive g-forces. Speed and a fantastic drop are close seconds, though.
November 20, 201213 yr I always like it when coasters are open, dependable, safe and comfortable. Fun is a huge plus. I love strong laterals, intense negative g's, smoothness and the great pacing of an old time woodie (like the Comet at The Great Escape). I'm not much for restraint pain (see Ninja at Six Flags Over Georgia or The Rollercoaster at New York, New York Casino).
November 20, 201213 yr ^Restraint pain is one of the biggest reasons that I only ride Maverick for the sake of riding it.
November 20, 201213 yr I am in love with positive g's. The only thing I like as much is hanging against your restraints (commonly found on The Crypt and Invertigo). Negatives aren't too bad, as long as they are abundant and strong.
November 20, 201213 yr I love a lot of aspects about rides. Negative G's are probably my favorite part of a ride. Followed very closely by Lateral g's/ intensity. That is probably why the Voyage is my favorite coaster. Lots of airtime (huge hills and the little bunny hops along the track) plus the tight twisting return path after the brake run. Marvelous stuff!
November 20, 201213 yr I love inversions just for the sake of being upside down! I also love negative Gs more than positive Gs, although I generally like positive Gs too; also, lateral Gs are a favorite of mine (Adventure Express, anyone? ).
November 20, 201213 yr I like me one that is tall, skinny, great tan color, smart, fun, safeish and gives me the thrill of a life time! Opps wrong website... I look for theming and detail then mixed with speed. I like Revenge of the Mummy quite a bit cause it offers both and un expectingly.
November 20, 201213 yr I'll take airtime (not sure if that's positive or negative Gs) over inversions any day. Inversions don't do it for me, I love a long light drop like Millennium. Nothing bears that feeling of facing down falling out of your seat. Skyhawk is the perfect ride for that.
November 20, 201213 yr What is this? A roller coaster dating forum? For me it's intensity and airtime. How did you not put airtime on there? It's very important in a long lasting relationship.

November 20, 201213 yr I like coasters that are visually striking, there are times like to watch rides (The Beast being the exception) as much as ride them. The pressure treated lumber is disappointing to me I miss the painted look on wooden coasters. Beyond that air time, misdirection and head choppers are always good.
November 20, 201213 yr What is this? A roller coaster dating forum? LOL! For me it's intensity and airtime. How did you not put airtime on there? It's very important in a long lasting relationship. Airtime is listed as "negative Gs". (EDIT: Terpy beat me to that.) For me it's overall intensity. I don't really have a preference for any particular type of physical forces (though I'm not a big fan of laterals). Rather, the "force" I'm after is being forced to focus on nothing but the ride by the sheer intensity of it. If I can think about other stuff while I'm riding, then it's not intense enough to make the top section of my list.
November 20, 201213 yr I love terrain hugging coasters. I'd love to see one go into sob's spot, but I don't see it happening...it would be surrounded by other terrain huggers.
November 21, 201213 yr I love negative gs. Is there something different because I like tall coasters because they normally have a good drop.
November 21, 201213 yr Author Intensity and speed are my two favorite things in a coaster. Hense my love for Beast because its intense and FOF beause its fast and it has the enough amount of intenseness.
November 21, 201213 yr I voted height, but I love speed. I have a great fear of heights, so I feel like Master of the Universe when I finish a very high coaster. But after that first awful hill, I love the speed of whipping over the track.
November 21, 201213 yr Dramatic views from first drops are what I enjoy most about coasters, such as The Beast's signature hilltop panorama featuring sloping, wooded terrain, and ...the rest of the coaster!
November 22, 201213 yr I like something that is brand new to the coaster world. New inversions and new concepts are a great experience.

November 24, 201213 yr I chose to null vote, because there were too many options and it would only let me pick one.
