    Amusement Rides

    Are you ones of those who love roller coasters or are you the type that can't stand them?

    I myself can't stand them. I use to be okay with them when I was younger but when I was a kid I went on the Jurassic Park ride at Orlando and the very end at the T-Rex going down the hill and lifted out of my seat. After that it's a whole lotta nope. I will do sissy ones but nothing with a huge drop or upside down. Though now that I have a pacemaker I can't do any of them really.



    That's the extent of it for me and hope I don't barf. xD

    I'm smol, so I'm paranoid. I'm always like, "Err, what if I slip out of the safety thing?" 'Cause they always seem a little loose. I know accidents are super rare, but I don't go on them much. Just let me enjoy my teacup ride in peace.

    My friends would always want me to go to Cedar Point and I'm like why would I waste $40 when I'm not going to ride most of the rides. And now I can't. They would always use the excuse of well you can hang out with all of us and I'm like well you can pay the $40 then because I'm not.

    I'm fine around simple dip and turn coasters, but forget crazy loops or something like Top Thrill Dragster or Kingda Ka



    I also can't handle certain kinds of dark rides, particularly if the animatronics look creepy or jump out at you.

    I can't stand roller coasters. I find them really scary.

    Roller coasters terrify me because I'm bad with heights, but because they go far less high and I think a little less fast, I'm absolutely fine with water rides. I just hate it when I'm absolutely drenched in water (but I'm fine with just general splashes), because then it takes ages to dry off. One place I know actually comes with a stand-in booth that blows hot air so you can get dry quickly.

    I love 'em. There was one year where I was at Busch Gardens and attendance was really light, so lines were short and it was easy to get on everything. Rollercoasters are fun, crazy, and give you such a rush. I'll admit I was intimidated by them for a long time, but eventually I shook that fear off.

    When I was a kid I used to be deathly afraid of any kind of thrill ride. Mainly because they look so unsafe and I was really tiny and thin, so I was scared I would fall out. Although I did move around a bit inside the harness, they strap you in pretty tight and I can hold on tighter. XD Accidents also happen, but they're rare. So when I grew up a bit (a young teenager I guess), I got over my fear and went on EVERY SINGLE ride that I could. And I LOVED it. The scarier it is, the better. And I especially love rollercoasters.

    I remember going on this Scooby-Doo coaster and at one point it made us go backwards...that was awesome.

    I'm studying ok with rollercoasters and spinning rides as long as they don't go upside down. I once went on a rollercoaster that was indoors in pitch black and you went backwards at unexpected moments and stuff. I didn't like that xD And I went on a similar one when I was in Holland. My dad and I didn't realise it was rated as a scary ride which is why there was no line. It was indoors, pitch black and really jerky and birds flew out at you as it went. I just closed my eyes and was okay. XD My dad felt sick the rest of the day though. I like water rides best I think. Less crazy stuff going on!

    Edit: Yes! The Scooby doo coaster is the one I was talking about! That one freaks me out XD

    I remember I was on some variant of The Waltzers at a fairground once, and it started going backwards around halfway through. It was the scariest moment of my life, so I think backwards rides might not be for me, which is ironic because I love sitting backwards on trains and in taxi cabs (black cabs have backwards seats, for reference). But yeah, backwards rides are too much for me. :3
