and was making the tracks sway T__T

No, but I've ridden the Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point, which is like the Kingda Ka, but about 30 feet lower to the ground. It was the first roller coaster in the world to break the 400 ft. height mark. Gotta love Cedar Point. :)
I would love to ride all of those coasters, if possible. Sounds like great fun!
Oh, I've also been on the Millennium Force. It's awesome. :)
Last time I got on the raging bull and I think I died for about 10 seconds.
I've been on the Tower of Terror :) Twice!
I refused to go on Kingda Ka. My friends did tho, and they said it ended too quickly to even notice anything.
kingda ka. 5 times. my stomach has never been the same since. (this was 3 years ago.)
No thank you. I actually want to stay alive. I don't want to die an early death.
maybe, if i make it while i'm still young :p
I wouldn't hesitate to jump in front of a bullet for a friend, but that? yeah. Hell no.
Those look amazing!
I love love love rollercoasters!

HOLY (&#*%7!! I want to ride on them so badly. It looks scary as ashshgoasihg
There have been many, many attempts to get me onto the Tower of Terror ... no. Just, no.
