If you head over to the US, you can try the coasters at the park near me!

1. Fahrenheit  (My favorite)
Features a vertical ascension to the top, and an over 90 degree drop!

2. Stormrunner
Zero to 70 in 3 seconds....

3. Great Bear
An old classic that everyone loves!

The same amusement park features a number of other great coasters as well. A total of 11!

Haven't been on it but would love to.. I think you should steer clear of the Buritos and hot dogs before hand.  Shocked

You guys get all the good rides! Must go to these sometime. Farenheit looks good. Wink
Two of my favourites were from Port Aventura in Spain:

Furius Baco - 0-83.9mph in 3.5 seconds!

Dragon Khan - a total of eight loops!

X2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain

Ghost Rider at Knott's Scary Farm (scarefest) at night

Nemesis, Europe's first inverting rollercoaster This one is at Alton Towers, my local. Also home to Oblivion with the first 90 degree drop, Air with the first flying coaster and some other really quite crappy areas of the park for kids... GET OUT OF MY PARK, KIDS!

If you're ever in Las Vegas, don't forget to visit the Stratosphere Tower. At ground level its 3 rides would be the most boring rides in the world...but these rides are 900 feet high! Holy *&%# they're scary! Shocked
