Gus Favorite Roller Coasters Part One
This list is not make on any excellence criteria, it’s jus a list of the roller coasters I have enjoyed the most in Central Florida. Thanks, and Enjoy
Gus
The List:
The Scorpion: Located in Busch Gardens Tampa, with his 39′ 4 loop and no upper restriction I have to say that the Scorpion was the first roller coaster I ride; this roller coaster is perfect for beginners of people who don’t like an intense ride, it only has one loop and three down helix. Many parents who are enthusiast of roller coasters bring their children to The Scorpion so they can try a new element that is absent fromt he kiddy rides; I remember one time I was in the last wagon, in the very very last one and in the wagon that were infront of me there was a father and his boy, the boy was crying outloud and when the ride went on the little boy cried even louder so far the only thing I heard was the crying and not the car traveling through the rails, I have to say it was funny because when the boy conquered the loop he inmediatly started to scream of happiness like everyone else in the train and at the end, the boy asked his dad to repeat one more time the ride; I have a similar story in my case I didn’t ride it on the first because I was a fan, it was pity that my brother was going by himself so I went with him, then I regreted and my mother who she is not a fan of any coaster at all went with us, I seated by myself and my brother and mom they were together, at the end the three of us we were laughing out loud, it was a good memory.
The Hulk: Located at Universal Studios Florida - Island of Adventures, one of my favorites roller coasters, it’s like Nirvana in my opinion because it’s not strong as Sheikra or as X-Celerator, it’s really smooth and it offers a lot of inversions, but there is a negative aspect, it ends quite abruptly not in the way the cars stop suddenly but without a big finish. There is one advice I give if you are going alone or with another friend, take the single rider line, it goes more faster if you are in alone or with another person rather than taking the 75 minutes queue, but if you are going in a large group don’t go in the single rider line it’s just rude. Oh I need to say something the line is what you read you will be split from whatever you are with.
