Well, I live in L.A., I'm a huge roller coaster enthusiast, and I've been to Six Flags Magic Mountain tons of times, so take my advice.\n\nMy Top 5:\n1. X\n2. Riddler's Revenge\n3. Scream\n4. Goliath\n5. Deja Vu\n\nI haven't been on Tatsu yet, that's why it's not on my list yet.\n\nIf your height is about 5'11'' or taller, I do NOT recommend riding on Viper. Those shoulder restraints push down HARD! I'm 5'11'' and I experienced discomfort in my shoulders after riding Viper. My friend is a little taller than me and he experienced the same exact pain.\n\nThis summer, I'm betting that Tatsu will defintely attract the majority of the visitors, so try to get on the other coasters during the day. Tatsu might even take some heat off X, so go check how long the line is for X. If it's about an hour, it's definitely worth it.

Talladega has the fast lap time records.  But Atlanta comes in at a close second. For track information you can check out Nascar.com. It tells when they started racing at each track and what the fastest laps records are.  Hope this helps you.  Have A Good Day.

I think you mean *Switzerland* (which *is* landlocked).  The most famous mountain there is the Matterhorn (which was the basis of the rollercoaster ride in Disneyland...).\n\nIts height is 14,683 ft (or 4,478m) and on July 14, 1865, the British climbing party of Edward Whymper, Charles Hudson, Lord Francis Douglas, and Douglas Hadow, with Michel Croz and the two Peter Taugwalders (father and son) tried the Hörnli route and found it considerably easier than expected. On the descent Hadow slipped, knocking Croz off his feet, and dragging Hudson and Douglas with him. The rope connecting them to the other three men broke; the four fell to their deaths on the Matterhorn Glacier 1,400 m below.  (I think your clue is off here because seven made it to the top, but *four* died leaving only *three* that made it down.)  Switzerland is known for alpine horns and chocolates.  \n\nThe answer has to be the Matterhorn in Switzerland...

Search for tv documentaries on roller coasters. I've seen a couple of very informative ones on A and E network and also on the Travel channel. I'm sure you can order copies. Good luck!

I've been there when I was a kid, don't know of any hotels though. If you do go, make sure you ride the rollar coaster "Super Grover." If it's still there...it seemed big seeing how I was 7 when I rode it....maybe it's not though...sorry!

Well, I have three answers for you, and I think they are all right.\n\nThe pronghorn is the second fastest land animal in the world, it can reach speeds of 60 mph, and can maintain 45mph for several minutes. (probably the answer you wanted)\n\nThe peregrine falcon which nests in North America's tundra, and migrates as far as South America, can reach speeds of 200+ mph while diving and is considered to be the fastest animal on Earth. (maybe the answer you wanted)\n\nBut, personally, I like to think of the cheetah as the fastest animal on Earth (since it runs on its own power at over 70 mph, instead of diving like the peregrine falcon), and so, i say that the fastest animal in North America would be all the cheetahs in zoos/ wildlife reserves. (probably not the answer you want, but I'm giving it to you anyway! ;-) )
