Agreed. You can ride Ninja to throw your back out, then Georgia Cyclone to throw it back in.

I love visiting new places (both in the USA and abroad) but as a Disney fan there is no way in the world I'd visit Paris, Tokyo or Hong Kong and not visit the parks there. I'd rather visit them than museums (see, not a total elitist) which I can also visit here and mock much of the art and enjoy the others as much in big art books, but that's just me.
Although I live in an area with beaches that people travel from all over for, yet I'll go to beaches in plenty of other locales too. Go figure.

Nope.The HECK??? Did the guy have hemorrhoids or something?
The ride is just that painful.
I love how just after the heartline dive it makes a weird jump to the right. Like it's straight out of Rollercoaster Tycoon.

I understand exactly what you are saying.... but been to Paris twice without even considering Disneyland. Perhaps next time I'll take your suggestion. It does look beautiful in photos, especially the ones with snow.
IF I ever go to Japan there are a lot of things I want to see. Disney Sea is definitely on that list as a Disney Parks fan, but where it stands will have to be determined at that point.
Advice noted.

Has anyone ridden Ghost Rider at Knott's Berry Farm? Talk about a headache, backache and whiplash all at the same time. I probably won't ever consider riding that puppy again.

If you're talking about aging spirits, then the wood is just themeing.
I went to dlp last year again, and I actually quite enjoyed the Indy ride, and if anyone ever suggests riding SM then say NO, jeez that ride used to be so good. But I guess 15 years of being at a park that's in $2 billion debt can have that effect.

I've only ever been to Busch Gardens once (class field trip in elementary school) and didn't enjoy the park at all. It probably didn't help that one of their coasters gave me a pounding headache for the rest of the day and I wound up paired with these girls that didn't even like me. I'd rather go to WDW headache free and surrounded by people that actually like my company.
Was it Gwazi by chance? (The wooden dueling coaster)

Oh god, they need to tear that down.
I last rode it about four or five years ago, and it was really uncomfortable -- which is unfortunate, because when it opened it was one of the better woodies in the country. I love wooden coasters and have a pretty high tolerance for roughness, but there are enough great coasters out there or coming soon (I have got to make it to Branson for Outlaw Run next year!) that I don't feel deprived skipping out on GhostRider until something's done to make it less rough.
Speaking of KBF and "declining by degrees," has anyone else felt that Mrs. Knott's fried chicken has really gone downhill? When I had it on my last trip, it was dry and largely flavorless -- probably on par with something from KFC. But maybe this is a complaint better saved for the "KBFMagic" forums!
The only time I rode Gwazi years ago, they were only running one train, and the ride itself was neither particularly exciting nor particularly comfortable.
Oddly enough, I love Lightning Racer, which was built by GCI just a year later -- but maybe the Millennium Flyer trains really make the difference.

Yeah, I think their first coaster was the WildCat, also at Hershey and the few times I rode that, it felt like I had been in a fight. I don't hate all wooden rollercoasters though, I LOVE the Comet there.
I think GCI was working out the kinks with their earlier coasters, and only started hitting their stride with Lightning Racer. I have heard that the Wildcat's roughness was somewhat improved after they started running Millennium Flyer trains, though.
The Comet is a classic that rides remarkably well, considering it's been operating for almost 70 years. From the POVs I've seen, the interaction between the Comet and the new Skyrush works really well, also.

If you want to ride a great wooden coaster: El Toro at Great Adventure. Awesome ride.

Yes, but it's better than nothing. Maybe they could make the ride smoother and different somehow? Replace the Indiana Jones show @ DHS w/ something like it!
We really don't want to give TDO the idea that we'll take anything just for the sake of adding attractions. We need new unique and innovative experiences added to the parks.
