Theme Parks

I like to visit theme parks. This is a list of all the rides (particularly roller coasters) I've been on in the past couple of years.

Busch Gardens

Busch Gardens (Tampa, Florida - March 2020)

Roller coasters

  • Tigris - Florida's tallest launch coaster. 150-foot skyward surge, and an inverted heartline roll, more than 60 miles per hour, 1,800 feet of steel track.
  • Sheikra - 90-degree 200 ft drop, 70 mph roller coaster whirlwind with an Immelmann loop, a second dive into an underground tunnel and a splashdown finale.
  • Montu - First coaster in the world to incorporate an Immelmann loop (a simultaneous loop and roll) 60-foot vertical loop, weightless roll, seven inversions, unique Batwing inversion
  • Cobra's Curse - 70-foot vertical lift, 40 mph, 2,100 feet of serpentine-like track, traveling backward, forward and then spinning freely.
  • Scorpion - 50mph, 360 upside down loop.

Thrill Rides

Volcano Bay

Volcano Bay (Orlando, Florida - February 2020) Water park, so lots of ring rides and flumes, but this aqua coaster deserves a mention.

  • Krakatau Aqua Coaster - Uses linear induction motor technology - it launches the canoe uphill before it immediately sends riders into a downhill plunge.
