    I just got back from Disney. I had a blast at California Adventure and the Screamin' rollercoaster is one of the better ones I've ridden. I'm sure I'm not the first one to ask, but the attendant told me the initial shot goes 0 to 55 MPH in 3.2 seconds.

    For those Ferrari drivers out there who have ridden this coaster, which one causes the bigger smile?

    I'd assume the Ferrari, as I don't think anyone here owns the coaster. ;)

    As usual, a Disney employee spouts out facts without checking them. The ride does 0-55 in 4.5 sec, which is the same acceleration as 0-60 in 4.9 sec under constant acceleration. Take heart, late-model Ferrari owners-- you're still faster than a Disney ride.

    Both put a smile on my face...

    Though the sound of a Ferrari certainly puts it higher on my list than the coaster

    If you really want to feel some acceleration, try Xcelerator @ Knott's. 0-82 in 2.3 secs. Now if only they could add a Ferrari sound to that ride....

    Ferrari because I'm the driver, on the coaster I'm the passenger.

    My favorite example of this is the jungle boat ride. Seems like everything weights between 1-2 tons and can jump 25 feet.

    Ferrari. I don't like roller coasters.
