A Gallery Of Roller Coaster Camera Trolls
Roller coasters race up and down tracks at county fairs and theme parks around the world, bringing hair-raising thrills to children of all ages. Sometimes called "scream machines," roller coasters have been the main attraction wherever they are for more than a century.
The coasters of today are taller, faster and wilder than ever before, causing operators to offer photos that capture the experience at the pinnacle of its excitement. Just making it to the end of the thrilling ride is cause for celebration for most riders. Others need more and sometimes stage that moment when the camera flashes, bringing us the wacky photos in this gallery.

I spent over 20 years in various corporate jobs, earning great money, but having no freedom and not enough time to do the things I wanted to do. I love traveling and hated being tied down to 4 weeks leave a year, and being told when I could and when I couldn’t take it. I tried other opportunities with varying success, but I still had to work long hours trying to generate any kind of substantial income. When I found this business opportunity: ( HTTP://tinyurl.com/WorkWPaul ) it almost seemed too good to be true – but I thought… what if I don’t try this, what if it is everything it seems to be and I pass it up. So I jumped straight in and I haven’t looked back! In a very short space of time I am now well on my way to having the lifestyle of my dreams, in fact I gave up my corporate job within three months of starting this business. I love what I do every day, this is such a simple business it is so easy be successful.

What a fool. Using these forums to shill some stupid fake business. Here's my question: why would anybody pursue this idiocy? I mean, the fact that this fool is posting this is in itself, proof that he won't follow rules and has not an iota of ethics. So now who would go to his website and sign up and of course, send him money? You would send money to someone who you met because he violated rules? Anybody who follows up with this kind of thing deserves to lose the money he's going to lose. People are so stupid.

Wow! That Millennium Force makes Coney Island Rabbitt look a like kiddy ride.

Chicargo? LOL Cedar Point will always have the best coasters.

I find it very hard to believe that Six Flags Magic Mountain in California did not make this list. Not only is Magic Mountain voted "best roller coaster park in the world" every year, but they also have "TATSU" which is the tallest, fastest and longest flying roller coaster on Earth. They also have "X2" which is the second fastest coaster on Earth. Magic Mountain also has the the most coasters of any other park in the world (including Cedar Point) and all of them are A+ coasters. Obviously the people that made this list have never been to Magic Mountain? How can you make a list of the best coasters, when you haven't even been to the park with the fastest and most coasters of them all? I have been on Millennium and Sheikra, and no way do either of them compare to Tatsu or X2.
My top 3 list is as follows:
1)Six Flags Magic Mountain (9 good coasters, 4 elite, top coaster - Tatsu)
2)Cedar Point (7 good coasters, 4 elite, top coaster - Millennium Force)
3)Busch Gardens Tampa (4 good coasters, 4 elite, top coaster - Sheikra)
