I love roller coasters - the faster, the better. My sister and I rode on the Giant Dipper in San Diego in the 70's before it burnt down and then rebuilt. I've heard Las Vegas has some great rides, so I'm looking forward to my first visit there.
 
The best rollers coasters are definately in Six Flags and Bush Gardens IMO. I can't remember any of the roller coaster's names, but I sure can't forget the rides!
 
The rides at Six Flags are great. Have never been to Busch Gardens. I'd love to just travel the country and ride the coasters. They did have a ride at Six Flags called the Dragon Wing - kind of like a giant swing. At the bottom you're swinging across the ground at 60mph. When they release you at the top, you fall so fast you can't focus your eyes.
 
Just remembered something. When my sister and I went on the Dragon Wing, we made a tape of it for my parents, and to our surprise, they were not amused. My late Dad said to me, "Do you still have the brains you were born with, boy?" I said, "I think so. Let me check. Yep, they're still there." :) What I really love now are some of the newer water slides. You flat out scream down some of them.
 
I have yet to get on a ride that doesn't make me sick :D If and when they invent a high-speed ride with all the thrills and none of the vomiting, I'm there!
 
I just went to SeaWorld in San Antonio, TX today. It was meh... I had much more fun at Disney Land in southern California years back.

Probably due to the 105 degrees outside, I'll go again, we got season passes as a gift. :)
 
I like the whole Disney adventure. No matter how young or old you are, there is magic when you get screwed at the door and then the whole place is over priced. $9.00 for a piece of Pizza but when your there your like hears my money where is the mouse.

I always leave with a smile on my face.
 
Have never been to Dolly World, though would love to go some day. Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO was nice, but I still prefer Walt Disney World and Six Flags Amusement Parks. The only part I don't like about the water slides is climbing up 18 flights of stairs so you can scream down a water tube doing 80mph.
 
I prefer Universal Studios in Orlando, I believe they have some of the best roller coasters in the country. Front seat all the way.
 
This is kind of embarrassing to admit. My favorite ride at Disney is the Toy Story ride.I haven't been to Disney or a vacation for that is concrned in about 8 years so I am not even sure if they have it still, but it was great back then.
