Rick and I have been chatting about the newest roller coasters at Six Flags Magic Mountain, reminscing about the last time we went (which was 2 years ago =P), the new coaster at the time, X, and what they've got now.

Which got me thinking...what do you consider the best roller coaster you've ever been on and why? Got any good roller coaster stories? =) Let's hear'em!

I have to say I have two favorites. One is X at Six Flags Magic Mountain. The ride is not really describable. It's not a "screamer", but rather the smoothest and most physically comfortable coaster I've ever been on. So smooth and fluid; the way the cars move, you rarely see the track nor other cars around you, so you really feel like you are flying by yourself. The seats are comfortable and the motion is so smooth, you are never "thrown" side to side, backward or forwards. While they call it X to mean Xtreme, I really think it's more like X as in Xtasy, as weird as that sounds.

But my all time favorite is still The Beast at King's Island outside of Cincinnati. Rawr! Rock and roller, slam-bam, thank you ma'am! Still the world's longest all-wooden coaster, still going after all these years....how about that for scary?! =D
