@Lunis

I like inverted coasters quite much as I with my 1,95 meters have nice legroom on them. On older sitdown coasters I fit in with no room left - just like in an economy class seat - I'm glad I'm not taller....

Yesterdeay - Sommerand Syd - Tornadoen -

There're only four of this beasts worldwide and only one in Europe. The design is based on the sit-down Boomerang by netherland manufacturer Vekoma Rides. I like all of the rises they make as the rides are always very smooth - no hard rocks or unorganic turns.

Heide Park - Big Loop

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/Jh8K7fJRrVc" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/Jh8K7fJRrVc</a>

A quite standard Vekoma MK-1200 - double loop, double corkscrew with bayerncurve. Nothing special but still like it quite much. On the long straight passages were block-brakes once installed to run with up to 4 trains as the was true hot-@#$% in the germany of the 80s. Today the mostly run 2 trains and lines are mostly very short - often you can stay right in your seat if no one else it waiting and you can go muliple times in a row....

Heide Park - Colossos

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/9bWLKRgvd3w" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/9bWLKRgvd3w</a>

The Colossos is the biggest euro woodie and was the biggest in the world before the americans removed a steel loop at one of their woodies. The ride as a 60+ degree first drop, goes up to 80 mph and gives you lots of airtime - hydraulic beltlock and double seatbels keep you back in the car.

Parks are now closed for the winter in Europe....

Next year however I'll be on a prolonged vacation to Las Vegas - Speed The Ride at Saharah plus Stratosphere Tower - and California (San Diego - Los Angeles - Big Sur/Monterey - San Francisco) - including Knotts Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain while in LA. And planned to hit the parks on a weekday in mid-May to avoid the crowds...

Forgot the Hansa Park - Nessie

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/I0CIe2fkwps" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/I0CIe2fkwps</a>

An old "only" one-loop Schwarzkopf coaster - but you have NO SHOULDER RESTRAINTS! Thats the best a bout this gem - going head over heels with you arms way up in the air!

They also have the grat new Fluch Von Nowgorod which is a LIM (magnetic) launched single-car eurofighter coaster plus also including a vertical lift and 97 degree drop with a heavy ghost-house theming a effects - including 3-D hologramm projectors.
