Numbers 101 to 150 |
|
This is an
ongoing record of the roller coasters I have ridden.
I've numbered every roller coaster to show the order
which I rode them in. I've also put an extra number in
brackets. This number is the coaster count of English
roller coasters I've ridden, as I thought it would be
interesting to keep track of that in this log as
well. |

The

now one of my all time favourite roller coasters
Balder. | |

The
Dragon
Dreamland Margate |
|
|
I checked
and at the time of writing Margate is 4th in the
rankings of how many coasters I've done at a park.
Only to be beaten by the big names of Alton
Towers, Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Europa Park.
That's because of the changes in who's running it,
meaning there's always a new kiddie coaster to add
to my count on every
visit. | |

This one
is pushing it a little, including it as a powered
coaster. It does make it on to the roller coaster
database, and does coast freely over some parts so
I include it. | |

This is

Disneyland, Paris |
|
|
My first
trip to Disneyland Paris was the year it opened,
and I'm surprised I didn't get to it again for
around a decade. During this time there was a new
park, and a big improvement in the number of
coasters. | |

Due to the
limited time we have off work this was quite a big
trip. We had to get the Eurostar from Paris to
Ashford, and from there a train to Blackpool to do
the club trip there, before getting the train back
home a couple of days later.

People don't count these coasters. I say not doing

away a lot of the

Manhatten Express (Renamed The Roller
Coaster)
Las Vegas |
|
|
It took a
while to save up for it, but eventually I was able
to afford a holiday doing Las Vegas and San
Francisco. There's lots of things to see in Las
Vegas, some of my favourites where the Secret
Garden at the Mirage, with it's Dolphins and White
Tigers and the Venetian. There are also some
coasters to try.
This one has been
criticised for being rough to ride. I didn't
find it to bad, and I went on after night, with
the strip lit up and it's a highly memorable
experience. | |

Hi Roller
Las Vegas |
|
|
This is
the one that was located on the top of the
Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas. It was a pretty
tame coaster, but remains an experience due to it
being on the edge of such a high building.

coaster it was also my girlfriends
50th. | |
