I love rollercoasters! I happen to live in Cleveland Ohio, which is about 45 mins from Sandusky, Ohio and Cedar Point! cedarpoint.com/ Cedar Point is always competing for the highest, fastest, coolest coaster.
The build a new ride every 1 to 2 years, and it always has to be a chart topper. The park boasts an unheard of 17, yes, 17 roller coasters (more than any other park in the world)! With a lineup that includes three of the top 10 steel roller coasters in the world.
Their most recent ride is called the maverick. This was a 21 million dollar investment. The crazy thing about this ride is the 100 foot drop at a 95 degree angle, that's right, that's a step beyond straight down.
The coaster also tops 70mph. My favorite coaster and ride has to be the Millennium Force. This coaster was 25 Million, tops 310 Feet, and accelerates to an incredible 92mph.
You can check out pics of it here! And here are some specs: All The Details Design Capacity 1,600 per hour (approximately) Features Tiered seating on the coaster's cars for better viewing (similar to stadium seating) 122-degree overbanked turns (extremely banked, but not quite inverted) Two tunnels Elevator cable system, first of its kind in the world New magnetic braking system Model Out-and back coaster Ride Time 2 minutes, 20 seconds (approximately) Speed 92 mph (approximately) Structure Steel tubular track Manufacturing Investment $25 million Manufacturer Intamin AG of Wollerau, Switzerland Physical Dimensions Angle of Descent 80 degrees Lift Height 310 feet Track Length 6,595 feet Vertical Drop 300 feet Angle of Lift ll 45 degrees Second ll Height 169 feet Third ll Height 182 feet Vehicles Coaches Nine four-passenger coaches on each train Three 36-passenger trains Number of Trains 3 Vehicle Design Stainless steel coaches with lap bars and seat belt Ridership 2006 1,641,545 2005 1,414,521 2004 1,525,402 2003 1,786,085 2002 1,777,302 2001 1,954,163 2000 1,735,347 Sources: My opinion and CedarPoint.

My current is the Stealth in Thorpe Park My current fav is Stealth in Thorpe Park: thorpepark.co.uk/explore_the_park/stealt..." rel="nofollow">thorpepark.co.uk/explore_the_park/stealt... It takes you from 0 to 80 MPH in 2.0 seconds and then throws you up a steep 205 ft! Anyhow I do like it but it only lasts about 35 seconds so it's really quite a short burst of fun and adrenaline!

I definitely go for the scariest roller coasters. No wait, I need to clarify that. I love old wooden high roller coasters, but I do not like any that go upside down.
I went on one that went upside down, while at the same time on a slanted track and it really made my head feel strange. I have been on the standard upside down loop one, and it wasn't bad. I have seen the same one get stuck though, and since I didn't really care for it to begin with, that was the end of that one for me.
Strangely enough, I will not go on a ferris wheel. The height terrifies me. Same reaction to the little cars that ride around on a cable up in the air around the park-you know, the ones that little tiny kids ride smiling with glee?
I almost had a heart attack on one. I was sure I was going to fall out, and my friend was laughing hysterically at me which didn't help. Another height thing, I guess.
The older I get, the more I don't trust any of the amusement rides. I mean, look at the people running them! Like they care!

3 I LOVE the Log Flume ride at Busch Gardens, Tampa, Florida. If I can't get there, than any flume ride will do. I love the anticipation when slowly moving to the top and the exhiliration when the ride accelerates and I get soaked to the skin.
It's the best fun! :) .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
