Let's see who knows this one. An old but fun game that I'd love to see brought back. Said immediately as gameplay begins.

"I live... again!"

I quoted the same game earlier. Needs a modern remake with all the charm from the original.

"Sniper rifle. For when you want to reach out and touch someone. Like blow their head off."

For a time Dragster was the tallest and faster coaster in the world. Six Flags wanted to top that and built King Da Ka to do so. I'm not sure if KDK still holds the title as tallest and fastest anymore though. I think a coaster in Japan beat it recently. Nonetheless, when I went to Cedar Point Dragster was definitely the feature coaster at the time. I'm reading that things have changed though so now I gotta go back!

KDK still holds the record for tallest coaster. The fastest goes to Formula Rossa at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, clocking in at 149.1 MPH.

The parks I remember vividly:

Six Flags St. Louis (local)
Six Flags Great America
Holiday World
Busch Gardens Williamsburg

#1: Six Flags Great America. It takes about 5 hours to get there from home, but the variety and intensity of the rides there makes the park a top spot for me if I had to choose. The park gets constant attention from the Six Flags chain, much more so than my local park.

#2: Holiday World. The trip there is about 3 hours from home. Free drinks at the park is a plus, and while their roller coaster lineup is a bit short, they get constant re-rides from me, if my motion sickness can handle it. The nearby campground makes it a good destination for the family, too.

#3: Busch Gardens Williamsburg. The only time I was there was in 2013 because the trip takes about 13 hours and at the time, a friend was stationed in Norfolk. Therefore, not a trip to consider. However, all of the rides are excellent and the park has good aesthetics.

#4: Six Flags St. Louis. It's a local park, taking less than an hour to get there, so I go to it if people want to accompany. A few rides are noteworthy, such as one of the dozen Batman clones, the other Mr. Freeze ride, and the wooden coaster lineup, but the rest are just meh. Six Flags does not pay much attention to this park because it's not a tourist destination in the slightest. Makes me sad. We are overdue for a landmark coaster, but the budget and the constant ride issues make it impossible to see one.
