i love them, i go on them like a sugerhigh'd out 10 year old, most friends will no longer go to parks with me because i get them all good and sick by riding the most violent coaster 10 times in a row. literally i willride all day,and then feelbad that the day is gone because i want to ride more.
I didn't get on a rollercoaster for the first time till I was about 12, and even then I never took the next step. To this day, I will still not get on a rollercoaster that
1. Goes in a loop.
2. Goes upside-down in any way.
3. Goes backwards.
And I still don't feel any need too. Riding the Texas Giant was intense enough as it were :)
i cant get enough of them. if it werent for the high admission cost, semi-long drive, and even longer waits (i can drive from my house to Six Flags and back again while another person waits in line for ONE ride. :bs: ) i would go more often.
strangely, i have a big fear of hieghts.
You have a fear of height? I had no idea...
Never been on them, never will be.
:lol: Oh shit, I can't resist. Jurassic Park!?Quote:

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.

I love them.
The closest theme park near me is called Wonderland, and is slowly going out of business. Last time I was there with some friends, we were litterally the only people in the park.
It has the scariest wooden coster. its the tallest in the southern hemisphere (I have a morbid fear of heights). On the way up, you can hear the wires buzzing next to you. Hella freaky.
Also, it is the roughest coaster I've ever been on. I have a scar on my knee from it.
I'd love to do a tour of America or Japan and go on all of the coasters there. Maybe if I win lotto...
I hate any ride where alarms suddenly go off and then animatronic dinosaurs start screaming at me while, for some unknown reason, I am ascending a watery slope that seems to run right through a power plant, only to see the disembodied head of a T-Rex zoom at me as I plummet to the bottom of a pitch black abyss. When I open my eyes I find myself in a peaceful lagoon with a McDonald's fry stand sitting 3 feet away. It can really mess with your sense of reality. :sweat:Quote:

The only coaster I'm scared to go on, and will probably never go on is the Cyclone, and if I have to tell you what the Cyclone, you're hopeless! :)

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.

I can't wait to try the new Dragster one. My Language Arts teacher is a coaster enthusiast, and says it's pretty... different. Only 30 seconds long, but the speed is nothing short of amazing.
