I did The Ultimate on a school trip about 19 years ago.

Dude, I'm old.

Finally went on of one these guys.

I've wanted to go on a giant inverted boomerang coaster since I was 14 (9 years ago) and I'm so glad Six Flags New England got one cause it was a BLAST to go on. I was in the front so I got a nice perfect view straight down at the ground.

Here a few of the craziest coasters in the world that are on my bucket list to be able to ride

Gravity Max - Known as the "tilt coaster" you go up the lift and then edge up to a sheer dropoff (as in, there's no more track) at which point the whole track tilts 90 degrees and connects with the rest of the track below. After a pause for dramatic effect, the train is dropped. This is the only coaster like it in the world, it's located in Taiwan.

Starry Sky Ripper - This is a flying coaster like Tatsu, but with an extremely unique layout. It looks like whoever designed this coaster was really able to just do whatever they want without the usual restrictions and they really went crazy. If you watch this video the people riding it are all people who have ridden hundreds of coasters and you can hear the genuine shock in their voice at how amazing it is. This coaster is located in China.

Outlaw Run - The world's craziest wooden coaster, it features the steepest drop and several inversions. Yep, inversions on a wooden coaster including a double barrel roll. Must be ridden to be believed! Outlaw Run is located at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri.

Almost everyone that I've talked to who's ridden Outlaw Run has subsequently proclaimed it to be the best coaster they've ever ridden.

I think most of my bucket list coasters at this point are wooden coasters actually. In the next few years I hope I can get on The Beast, Prowler, The Voyage, Fireball, Mountain Flyer, Leap the Dips,, Flying Turns, Cornball Express, Cyclops, there's a ton of great wood rides out there.

If you ever come out west there's a brand new woodie in Santa Clara, CA called Gold Striker that is excellent. Definitely the best woodie out west, it's unusually relentless for a wooden coaster.

I wish I didn't have blurry pictures to show, but during my business trip to Copenhagen this past week, I stayed at a hotel near an amusement park called Tivoli Gardens. Inside are two small roller coasters: one super old, and the other likes it's loops.

The Demon is a steel modern coaster with two loops and a corkscrew which, being at night while I rode, lit up a green trail of light under the rails as the carts passed by. The second and older of the two (in fact, one of the oldest in Europe) was called Rutschebanen. Built in 1914, it was this little wooden thing that loved it's bunny hills. Short and nothing special, apart from the history of it.

Super fun trip overall, and finding those coasters was icing on the cake.
