I live in Cincinnati Oh and one of the new malls open up this past weekend, and in the Wonder Land mini theme park it has a kiddy coaster that goes up about 8 to 10ft. So I was looking at it and saw a coaster Sim, and the different coaster track are on it were Mean Streak,Blue Streak, Gemini, Mantis,MagnumXL, and Iron Dragon. The Sim was pretty real with the move ment of the differrent truns and drops. The screen was some what old with the colors put when it went down the hill's you could feel the sence of fun and enjoyment but the real thing is way better. I am asking you people if you have seen the Sim's in your local mall's at all?

I saw one of these coaster sims at Scandia Park in Ontario, CA (near LA).
They're everywhere. There's a new version out too, from what I understand.

Yeah, they're everywhere. We have the simulator at a few malls here in nashville, tennessee.. but it don't move around. It's just a bench that kids (or adults, lol) can sit on. I've been tempted to just sit down myself!

There is a Cedar Point simulator at Dave and Busters in Westlake (near Cleveland). I found it to be nothing like riding the real coaster.

I saw one of these way up in Mackinaw City. Some little arcade where they also had DDR.
I was there for a band trip and was attempting to showw off in front of the girls by showing off my DDR skills. It didn't work too well. :/ :(

Daniel, there's one at the Dave & Buster's in Tri-County, too. I'd love to have one in my living room, but it's not that great a ride-simulator.
Any similarity in name is purely coincidental.

There's a simulator in the Chicagoland area at Dave and Buster's also. Definitely not worth all the credits to ride it.

Sometimes when I go to see a movie every once in a while they'll have a coaster simulator that you can ride...it's just like nolimits only on a huge screen. I think I saw it in Findlay or Lima.

I live in Greenville, SC and there's one at the Greenville Mall (which will probably be closed in a year or two lol) and they have Blue Streak and Gemini videos on this bench thing, it "doesn't" move either.

There was one at this suburban arcade of Detroit. My friend and I used to go out there all the time. They had all the roller coasters you guys speak of, however, there was something wrong with the movement in reguards to the track. I remember seeing the train go up the lift hill slanting to the left. It was a jumbled mess.

The one I rode in the Wonder Park, the only thing right about the sim was the the lift hill and some drops. Some budy needs to make one that goes upside down with a helment sight so you can look in and direction you wish to and not be restreded to looking at the screen. That would be sweet!

No it wasn't Dave and Buster's. It was a place called Galaxy.

We've got one here in Columbus where I work... big 'ol pain in the arse to work on :)
I've always enjoyed the "flat-tire-up-the-lift-hill" effect (yes, it's SUPPOSED to do that!) The company went out of business soon after making some of these - they were threatened with a class-action suit at one point. Another company (ICE) bought the rights to the technology and manufactures the Kiddie Coaster version (Blue Streak and Gemini) and a new version called Thrill Rider, with POV from differect coasters at different parks.
