Way before I was born on June 16, 1884 the first roller coaster in America opened at Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York. As luck would have it this became my hometown. It was a wooden roller coaster that came along much later and...

Do you have any rides at your local mall?

firecracker @sacmom (14192) • United States 30 Mar 12

A few of the malls around here have rides inside of them. Nothing fancy like some of the malls I've heard about that have roller coasters and water parks and such. The ones around here are just for little kids, but at one mall...

When it comes to themeparks, do you prefer Six Flags or Disneyland? That is to say, do you like big, thrilling roller coasters or small, cutesy rides? I am definitely a Disneyland person. I don't like roller coasters a whole lot;...

What is your favorite roller coaster ride at Disneyland?

Rhiannon_Knight @Rhiannon_Knight (37) • United States 28 May 08

Mine would definitely have to be Space Mountain. Something about not being able to see where you are going is both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. Too bad the line is always so long or I would be considered a "chain"...

Preference: launch or traditional, front, middle, or back?

Bethany1202 @Bethany1202 (3431) • United States 30 Apr 08

If you like roller coasters: Do you have a preference where you sit on them when riding? I prefer to always sit up front. It's funner and more thrilling. It's scary because it looks as if there is nothing there and you are in...
