Hi, I'm coasterman1234, and, as you probably guessed, I love roller coasters. I've been able to ride the world's tallest and fastest full curcuit roller coaster, Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure, as well as, numerous other coasters featured on the Amusement Today Top 50 Steel Coasters list. 2006 GOLDEN TICKET AWARDS

[edit] Roller Coaster/Amusement Park Obsession

I love just about any coaster as long as they are smooth. I prefer big-budget, tall, fast and long roller coasters over all others. My favorite roller coaster manufacturer is Bolliger & Mabillard due to their usually twisted and well designed rides, as well as, the characteristic "smooth as glass" element. Although, Intamin AG comes in a close second for all the above mentioned reasons . I despise the manufacturer Vekoma since most of their rides are carbon copies of each other and built cheaply without any quality control resulting in a rough ride. Below are some of my own personal "records", favorite/worst coasters, and favorite parks.

[edit] Other Interests

Other than my roller coaster obsession I love to play video games and water sports. I enjoy shooter games the most, but do enjoy some strategy games such as No Limits and Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. My favorite game console is the PlayStation 3 and followed by the PlayStation Portable and the older PlayStation 2. My favorite games are Resistance: Fall of Man (This is the greatest game overall that I've played!) for PS3, Black for PS2, GUN Showdown for PSP, and Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 for PC.

Here's a link to my highest rated No Limits design (I've designed about 20, but this is my highest rated achieving a rating of 10/10). You must have No Limits v1.6 to ride this coaster.: Ambition

As for water sports, its the only field of sports I like, all others (such as football, baseball, etc.) I despise greatly. I love to go tubing being pulled extremely roughly with at least another person on a separate tube beside me. I have hit a height over the height of our boat and enough to completely clear another tuber I jumped over. I also like skiing and kneeboarding, but not nearly as much as rough tubing!

I also love movies, I see at least once a week either in the theater or by Netflix. I prefer action over all other genres followed by, horror, thriller, and a few comedies and dramas. My favorites are: Bad Boys 2, Hannibal Rising, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

[edit] Future Plans

I hope to one day become a roller coaster designer and/or operate my own chain of amusement parks. I plan to have my chain be the best of the best, well ran and well maintained with a good mix of scenery and rides (only top quality rides will be permitted, most of which being B&Ms and Intamin coasters, as well as, Huss flat rides) I did a rough calculation on my idea for my park and it'll cost around $1.5-2 billion dollars (it has been done before, so don't think its impossible), but when it opens it would be ready to compete with Cedar Point for title of Best Amusement Park.

[edit] Major Contributions

I've done a lot of contributing to many pages related to amusement parks/roller coasters/amusement industry but these are my biggest. I've also created, and reformed many roller coaster pages.

Plans to Renovate

  • A 4D Coaster Page Needs to be Created Separate from the Spinning Coasters
