Here are my two favorite roller coasters - I just couldn't pick one. Both are heart-pounding, adrenaline pumping, out and back roller coasters that both amaze and nauseate with a flurry of loops, corkscrews, and impossible air time.
Millennium Force - Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio
My favorite features of Roller coasters are inversions and air time. Millennium Force has plenty of both. This coaster provides the most weightlessness (air time) of any coaster I've been on. It's first drop is really freakin' scary, as it is one of the tallest in the world (310 feet), and also one of the fastest (98 mph).
Fahrenheit - Hersheypark (yes, they make it all one word), Hershey, Pennsylvania
This coaster actually has the steepest first drop in the world (97 degrees). Riding this coaster in the front seat and in the dark is one of the most thrilling experiences you'll ever have. This coaster straps you in and sits you vertically, like a space shuttle, until it suddenly blasts you upward, surprising everyone (and producing some colorful language). Then on the other side, you plunge 121 feet, at a 97 degree angle. Then you go 58 mph for 85 seconds through an 107 ft inverted loop, inverted corkscrew roll, cobra element, and airborne inverted s-roll. It's absolutely amazing.
