I hear Cedar Point in OH has some amazing coasters...
with 3 of the highest/fastest in the country.
My buddy praises that place often.
As for Busch Garden coasters...I enjoy Apollo's Chariot.
Yup, if you can ever get up to Cedar Point, you won't regret the experience. Consistently rated one of, if not the top, parks in the world. Loved it.

none of us are really big screamers so it was pretty much silent. THAT was an amazing experience.
My husband is carrier-based and last weekend we were at Kings Dominion in VA and went on the Hypersonic Xtreme Launch Coaster. It is 0-80 in 1.3 seconds (it is the only compressed air coaster in the US). He said the acceleration feel (obviously in reality on a carrier he is being shot with more force and gaining speed at a greater rate) was much more than any cat-shot he has ever gotten. Plus, the coaster also goes nearly straight up after accelerating. Definately a good time . Here is a pic:
Wow...that looks awesome !

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, National Football Hall of Fame, The Game, Air Force museum (if your into that sorta thing). Ohio is a decent state overall so long as your close to a major city. Outside of that its just like any other state, with the exception of the total suck that is Louisiana, Arkansas, or Mississippi.
It takes 1.8 seconds to reach 80;
also, the ride only lasts ~ 20 seconds.
Sweet ride though, but not worth the 2 hr wait in line. :sleep_125
Six Flags Magic Mountain in Southern California has to be the best rollercoaster park in the country. It almost shut down this year because real estate investors wanted to buy the land, but luckily, it got bought out by someone who wants to keep it a theme park.
