P.S. I have gone on ghost rider, and i hated it. i want to go on a looping rollercoaster.

Answer 1

Yep, the Silver Bullet isn't nearly as bumpy as GhostRider. Have fun! Make sure to go on Xcellerator also.

Answer 2

This is such a great roller coaster to go on if your trying to break your fear of them.

It is a really good idea to go on it.  It looks HUGE but it isn't.  Ghostrider is easily scarier.  I would compare silver Bullet in scariness to Jaguar.  It just is not scary.

You go up pretty high which might scare you, then you do a little dip and you drop on your side which is good because it doesn't give you the stomache feeling.  You hear the air and you might think your going really fast but your not.  Your only going 55 mph which is very slow.  After the drop you do a loop which isn't bad because it doesn't have any force on it.  Then you go up and kind of do an overbanked turn thing.  I don't know how to explain it but it's really fun and not scary at all.  After that you go through a cobra roll.  I don't know how to explain it but its basically a half loop with a half corkscrew at the top.  You'll see it at the front of the park.  Once again not scary.  Then it takes your picture and you go through a zero gravity roll.  What sucks about Silver bullet is that when you go through the zero gravity its just like a regular loop but on other roller coasters your out of your seat like flying and you don't know whats going on.  They last a long time for a loop but their really cool.  Unfortinately Silver Bullets doesn't have any force or any of that so it's nothing to be worried about at all.  Now you do a long turn and go through the first corkscrew.  They are really fun.  Now you do a little hill and then the last corkscrew.  Again really fun and not scary.  Now you do a part of the ride that actually is scary.  The helix.  Its basically just turning around and around twice.  You go through it with a lot of speed so it has force.  Some people even black out but all you have to do is close your eyes and its nothing.  Then you hit the brakes and the ride is over.  For a second you feel a little dizzy but by the time you get back in the station you feel fine and you want to go on it again.  I went on it 3 times.  The ride probably sounds scary now because of all the loops and turns but it isn't.  Most rides like this are really fun but you cant go on them over and over because they have force and they make you dizzy.  Silver Bullet doesn't have any of that.  It is also VERY smooth.  You don't touch the shoulder restraint once.  Also the ride goes by VERY quickly and don't be worried about the feet dangling and below the track.  You don't even notice it.  Overall silver Bullet is such a great ride and I wish people new that because you look at it and you think "No Way that thing is huge".

Answer 3

Silver Bullet has no feel of going upside down, a good thing to start on is probably Montezuma's Revenge, you start going on on loop and go backwards and do the loop again, it's a little creepy to go on because it only has a lap bar, not a full body rest.

Silver Bullet is smooth and really fun, it is one of the easier upside down rollercoasters, it's less compared to some of the rides at Magic Mountain. I've gotten whiplash from Ghost Rider so I know what you are talking about.

If you aren't afraid of heights and fast takeoffs, Xcelerator is amazing! I just wouldn't recommend on going in the first row your first time. Supreme Scream 2. Good Luck!
