Do you like roller coasters/thrill rides?
Tell which ride is your favorite and which amusement park is your favorite.
Then tell me what you think of this ride.

Re: Do you like roller coasters/thrill rides?
But my DH will ride anything (thats what she said), he rides the rides and I sit and people watch, I should get a discount.
ETA: He rode that "Top Thrill Dragster" 3 times last time we were there.

I like roller coasters, but they make me sick. I wish they didn't because I love the thrill of them. We rode Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, and Expedition Everest at Disney and even with the Dramamine I was still nauseous by the end.
I dunno how I feel about the Windseeker. That thing just looks flat out terrifying.
I used to love going to Six Flags Great Adventure with my sister. We'd play hooky from school for a day and go (my parents knew and were fine with it, we were good kids) once every year. I loved the Batman ride and the classic Great American Scream Machine. It's been probably 10 years since I went to an amusement park/got on a roller coaster. I'll totally go on them with my nephews when they're old enough though.
Well, one time the cord snapped, and the thing crashed. The people survived, but still. I think the whole time I'd be afraid of the swing snapping off and me plunging to my death.
I love a good roller coaster but I am deathly afraid of heights and I would piss myself on this one....probably multiple times.
[QUOTE]If it didn't make me sick I would totally do it. Well, maybe. I grew up near the boardwalk, and we have that ride where you sit in a cage and are shot up into the sky by bungee-type cords (they show the camera reactions on AFV all the damn time). Well, one time the cord snapped, and the thing crashed. The people survived, but still. I think <strong>the whole time I'd be afraid of the swing snapping off and me plunging to my death.</strong>

<div>This...and this swing ride thing gives me that same feeling, like the arm is gonna snap off and break, and I would go flying into who knows what, and die.</div>
My Chart
One time back when Charlie and I were LDR, the Plain White T's were playing at the IL Six Flags on a weekend I was planning on coming out, and since Hey There Delilah is our song (I know - but it's about being apart!), he called and suggested we go. And I cried on the phone. Because I didn't want to go anywhere near a roller coaster. And he said I didn't have to, so I agreed to go. Of course as it got closer, I started to think that maybe I should try going on a roller coaster, because it might not be so bad, and I researched them and picked the tamest one. We went, got on the ride, and I screamed the entire time. Not like the fun screaming, but like the kind you would do if you were actively being killed. I must have ruined the ride for everybody.
When it ended, he helped me out of the car and helped me walk away to a picnic table. He then sat me down, took my hands, looked me in the eye, and said, "You NEVER, EVER, EVER have to go on a roller coaster again. I NEVER want to hear you that scared again."
So yeah, I'm going to be the mom who holds everybody's stuff at the amusement park. And that is A-OK with me.

Wouldn't it be nice to live together in the kind of world where we belong?
[QUOTE]Roller coasters scare the crap out of me. I am not a huge ride person in general. I like water/log rides like Splash Mountain (I think that's what it's called) though.

You can sit on the bench with me Reils.
I would never, ever ride that thing.

Charlie went on the Big Shot at the Stratosphere Hotel when we were in Vegas. They asked me if I wanted to go on the outdoor platform to watch him, and I politely declined. Indoors is just fine for me.

Sarah#s- The first rollercoaster I rode was the Gemini at CP, and I was like 10 or 11. I screamed bloody murder the entire time and right behind us was the most flamboyant gay man I've ever seen. When we'd get to the top of every hill, he'd say "Oh, it's gonna be ok honey, just hang on!" Best rollercoaster memory ever.
The camera on Millennium Force is at the end of the second tunnel and I always try to make a face or wave at it, haha.
[QUOTE]I'm so excited for this ride. When Top Thrill Dragster came out, I rode it front row 3 times. I think we need a knottie g2g at Cedar Point. Kd, we can husband swap for the day LOL Michael is scared of almost every ride. Have any of you mid-westerners been to <strong>Kings Island</strong> and rode Delirium? That is one of my all time favorites too.
Posted by dmiller9274[/QUOTE]
I loved Kings Island when I was young. I have so many pictures of me when I was young hanging out there. But I dont ride anything too jerky also for neck issues.
Oh he'd so be up for that considering I dont think I will ever make it home!
I am terrified of all of the Las Vegas rides. They seem insane.
I love water parks. I want to go back to Holiday World this year if we make it to IN.

[QUOTE]I enjoy thrill rides that keep me on the ground. I don't enjoy most rides that keep me in the air, and I really dislike that feeling of near-weightless where your stomach is a few feet away from your body. I love things that spin though. On the other hand, my DH can't handle things that spin, and just likes the feeling of going fast. Needless to say, we don't do the big parks like that. We did however have an incredible day at Disneyland last summer on our honeymoon.

Just wanted to take a moment to say I love your sig pic Jesse
I'd love to go bungee jumping. That would be badass.
Also, Knots Berry Farm /> Disneyland
[QUOTE]I don't think I could do that ride, DMiller. That's like the MaxAir thing at CP. I almost pooped myself when I went on it. I seriously thought I was going to die.

Ahh it's one of my favorites, but I love anything that's scary. I bungee jumped in the Wisconsin Dells about 10 years ago, and it was great, but it gave me a terrible headache. So naturally I had to try it again, and same thing. I doubt I'll go for a third jump.
