Anyone Fear RollerCoasters and other Rides?

Batman is the greatest ride on earth.

I think rides that simply spin you around really fast are retarded. Maybe cuz they make me sick...I don't know. Either way, they're retarded!

I get motion sickness from just driving, so roller coasters aren't exactly my idea of fun. Plus, the only amusement rides around where I live are so shady, you'd have to have a suicide wish to want to ride one...I swear, they're all operated by stoned-out ex-vet mental clinic escapees.

Yeah, I get motion sick too so I can't really go on any carnival rides -- I think the last time I went on one was back in the mid 90s when I took my then girlfriend to the carnival and went on that gravity wheel thing. I didn't walk straight for about an hour after that. :noob:

Hate them. All of them.
I get all sickly-like and I can't breathe when I get on them. Not a pretty picture.

I am deathly afraid of roller coasters. I break out in sweats when I go on one. I usually try to avoid them, but sometimes I don't want to be left out. At World of Fun in St. Louis, I went on the Timberwolf, the fastest wooden roller coaster in the world. Yeah I screamed like a little girl on that one. Another one I hate is The Hulk at Universal Studios. Everything is cool until that damn alarm goes off and scares the piss out of me. I don't like Ripsaw Falls either. I will never go on that again.

At Disney World, I did ride all the mountains, but I swear that the comet on Space Mountain nearly hit me in the head. The rock and roller coaster with Aerosmith was actually kind of cool, but I didn't see anything since my eyes were closed the entire time.

Other rides I have trouble with, Spider Man (which is funny since it's just a 3D ride, you never actually rise more than 25 feet off the ground.), Test Track (it's like a car with no seatbelts...), Jurassic Park (a water ride that always scares me), and Dinosaur (at Disney, the end freaks me out). That's about it. I'm such a weiner.

So have any of you heard of the new Top Thrill Dragster ride at Cedar Point theme park?

400 ft tall, 0-to-120 in less than 4 seconds.

Top Thrill Dragster

This is one rollercoaster I definately want to ride.

First off, if you like roller coasters you have to go to Cedar Point. My top 3 (all from Cedar Point):
1)Millenium Force
2)Raptor
3)Magnum

Well, went to sixflags last year with wanting to overcome my fear, so I went after all the so-called 'thrill' rides..

- Déjà Vu. Pretty good, although you may leave traumatized for the rest of your life after this one ;). Dunno if that's a good indicator/measurement of 'thrill'.
- Vertical Velocity. Looks real freaky to the observer, but once you're strapped in and it gets going, it's all good (plus, it's too late for regrets :P).
- Raging Bull. This ride is one of my favorites.. It's smooth, fun, and won't leave you 'drained'. My only complaint with it was the restraining system - it's hard to trust given the design.
- Batman. Yeah, Klonoa's right.. Purty incredible; I was pleasantly surprised, but it was short.

That's about it, I think.. So yeah, I love'em, although I'm still bitter with the shear greed I encountered that visit.. Fucking owning everybody on the food and drink. Bottled spring water was like $3.25!?!

/me is going to start being a vendor and sell hot dogs, pretzels, soda, juices, icey's, water for a cost of your arm and leg.

I love roller coasters. and I have no fear of them at all... Six Flags is the place to be...
