The best thing that can happen on rides with lap bars like that one is you sit on the same row with some massive ham golem that got separated from its master and is confused and thinks it is a real person. This happened to me and the lap bar was about 4 inches above my legs.
sitting behind fat people on water rides is pretty useful, fyi.
I thought the Aerosmith roller-coaster was at Disneyland. But yeah, that one's pretty awesome as well. I got a baseball cap from that ride - I was the only one in my family to get a sensible hat.
Millenium Force? Where's that one? Looks pretty cool.
I started skydiving earlier this year. I can't see myself ever enjoying roller coasters again. If you live within driving distance of a drop zone, I highly recommend trying it atleast once in your lives.. even if it's just a tandem dive. Nothing beats jumping out of a plane from 13,500ft in the air.
I don't know about skydiving...I'm a bit afraid of heights. Even so, I really enjoyed flying in a black hawk helicopter with the doors open over Baghdad every couple of months when I was over there. Talk about thrilling. Roller coasters have never been the same since that, which is okay because I tend to get sick on them anyway.

BTW, I also liked the Aerosmith Rockin' Roller Coaster (or whatever it was called) at MGM. You go from 0 to 60 in under 3 seconds. While that may not sound impressive, there is no drop. It happens on a horizontal stretch so you just feel the g-force. Pretty fun.
I rode that and I thought it was awesome but yeah like Darth said, wasn't that in Disney land?
A quick Google search reveals that it's at both the Disney-MGM Studios park in Florida and Walk Disney Studios in Paris. So I guess we're all right.
I knew it was in Florida, considering I have never been to California, haha.
Yeah, it's in Disney World. The only problem is that it is way too short. Shorter than the Millennium Force (which is at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio). The trick is to use the single rider lane, and you'll cut in front of the entire Rockin' Roller Coaster's line (which is typically an hour wait)!
The best Disney World coaster, though, is the brand-new Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom.
