Who's willing to get beat up on RC over and over again? Black and blue all over my body, that's not for me. It's not fun for me.

That rides good for your muscles, I grasp the side of the lapbar for dear life trying to hold my self in normal position. But if it's someone I know I just bash into them ;).

Jeez I love that ride :).

You would come off that ride with huge muscles on one side of your body and on the other side you'd be all black and blue. You would have to switch to the other side of the car to even it out.

True. Especially in the back car. It's one of those 'feels faster than it's really going' type rides. I'd still do it though, because of the lack of a hard restraint to slam into! :wink:

Come to think of it, S:UF would be cool too, but I don't know how long I could stand to be in the flying position before getting too uncomfortable.

How about Viper? That wouldnt be too bad, especially if you didnt have someone riding next to you.

I'd get tired real fast if I had to stay on Viper for awhile. The more I think about it, Superman would have the best conditions for a competition, along with Raging Bull. 1. Covered station 2. fun and not rough 3. not overly intense(overall) 4. Newer 5. comfortable restraints

I got stuck in the station like that for a half hour, after 10 minutes I wanted off like no other.

It hurts your ankles so badly.

Nah, Iron Wolf it's too easy to sit down. People wouldn't stand the whole time.

Yeah, I know. I got stuck on the brake run once for about 15 mins. And as if my ankles weren't hurting enough, someone a few rows in front of me threw up while we were waiting for the other train to dispatch. It wasn't too pleasant having to look down over that! :?

Breakdowns are the only thing that would deter me from doing a marathon on S:UF.

When you sit on IW, it is not a normal seat and thus standing awhile wouldn't be too good for me.

Raging Bull would definately be the best to get stuck on. I was stuck on Demon this year in the MCBR between the tunnel and corkscrews, and when we were let out, we crawled until we hit the corkscrews. It wasn't too pleasant with the OTSR's. One of my friends was going to go on the train before us, but he let people go in front of him. When we were in line, he was worried that it was going to break down (this was his first "big" coaster). Sure enough, it "got stuck" (which in retrospect it didn't, it was more "stopped") for about 15 minutes.

I think raging bull would be the best coaster to ride over and over again. The seats are comfortable and the ride is so smooth.

I would also do RB or AE Red. I wouldn't want to do anything that has inversions over and over.
