4. Test Track (Magic Kingdom)

Not a coaster ... and not at Magic Kingdom

[Touchdown]

^As an add on for those of you that don't know:

Roller Coaster: A ride that after an initially being powered (by a launch or lift hill) is almost entirely gravity driven down a track consisting of wooden or steel rails.

[Peabody]

In no particular order:


Gemini - Cedar Point (wood)

Not to be a nitpicker, but maybe you will find this interesting...Gemini is actually a steel coaster. Steel track=steel coaster, despite the beautiful support structure. The opposite would be true. Believe it or not, the legendary Coney Island Cyclone (1927) has a steel structure. But...wood track= wood coaster

1. Colossus - Magic Mtn (rode it in 1992)
2. Corkscrew - Knott's Berry Farm (no longer there)
3. Jaguar - Knott's Berry Farm

Not sure why I didn't list any Disneyland coasters - must've thought it was 'other than Disney' coasters.

So, Add to my list:

1. Matterhorn
2. Space Mountain
3. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
4. California Screamin'
5. This one coaster at Mission Beach in San Diego that I remember....

^ Giant Dipper.

It's got it's good moments and bad moments. But it's nice that it's still there and hasn't been demolished.
