coming here to post this.. Me and my oldest daughter love coasters and we definitely shouldn't have started with this over the summer because everything else felt slow afterwards..

I will say the Gaurdians of the Galaxy coaster in Epcot is pretty damn epic as well.. Not as fast but is does a little something other coasters don't do..

Hagrids is a cool ride; Velocicoaster is definitely a top 3 coaster right now. We took the kids to Universal in September and it was a blast.

Love the themeing they do for the queues, so intricate and detailed, makes you almost not care that you're in line.

Definitely, they put a ton of money into that part.

the Velociraptor coaster at Universal Studios is the best one i've ever ridden.

Not sure which one would be the largest by size, maybe that old wooden rollercoaster at six flags in houston.

Used to love them then hated them and now my kids are getting to the age of being able to ride them so it’s getting fun again.

Really haven’t rode anything great in a while but my 6 year old just got tall enough to ride Lightning Rod at Dollywood. Pretty good rollercoaster but I spent the whole time thinking I hope the bar holding me down doesn’t come unlocked.

I can do stuff like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Disney. Anything more intense than that and I'm staying on the ground.

I love them and would rather ride them the whole time at the amusement park over all other rides.

Six Flags in Atlanta has great coasters

The Goliath at Six Flags over Georgia is awesome. Last time we went a few years ago we got to ride like 3 or 4 times in a row because it was late and had no line. Had a blast.

I love them, that was our family vacation growing up.

Biggest? Top Thrill Dragster in Cedarpoint is 420 feet tall.
Favorite? Velicocoaster in Universal is unrivaled.

Used to love them.....but honestly, I have found the older I get they just aren't that fun anymore.

Same. I can do space mountain as well but those 3 are basically it.

They have always terrified me. I have never trusted the craftsmanship of the carnies putting those things together. Extra bolts or washers left over? Forget about it.

I'm talking nice coasters, not carnival types. Those do freak me out.
