Roller coasters?

[Shiyonasan]

I'm just curious to see how many brave folks we have here on ABO.

Whenever you go to an amusement park or carnival, do you like to ride the high-intensity rides such as roller coasters, tower drops, slingshot rides, or something similar? If you're an older member, did you like to ride them in your youth?

For me, I like to keep my feet planted firmly on the ground. I tend to do better with water rides, but I still dislike water rides where there's a big drop. If I go to an amusement park, I prefer to go on the calmer rides. I personally like the idea of not getting a heart attack.

I've never really had too many chances to go to an amusement park but I do like roller coasters and those rides that spin you upside down. I don't care for tower drops or anything like that tho. I hate how queasy they make me. That's why I usually close my eyes during the first drop of a roller coaster.

To be perfectly honest I used to be a total wuss as a kid. It was only when I left my teenage years I got into high intentisty rides. I don't get too many chances to ride any though, as we don't have any theme parks here and the town fair only has a small selection.

Most of the coaster type rides at Disney parks bank the track steeply during any major drop. This turns the negative G force into a positive one, which is more easily tolerated.

I'll go on roller coasters, but I don't like going upside down, water, or drops that are vertical or curve inward. Height and speed are fine though.

I like to go on coasters that spit you out into a "buy your photo" area, find where the camera is, and make faces at it as I go by. Not sure if it helps or hinders business, but whatever.

This is one roller coaster I've sworn never to ride: https://www.cedarpoint.com/rides/roller-coasters/top-thrill-dragster
The thing is EVIL. I saw this on TV as part of a scariest coasters show. They said that if the wind is just right, the coaster will stop at the top and roll backwards to the beginning again.

There is a wooden coaster at kings island in Cincinnati that has two parallel tracks so twin coaster trains can race each other. On one of the trains you sit facing backwards!

As a general rule, if there's a sign saying you have to take your earrings out, I'm not getting on!

Like Rejoyce stated, I can do speed and height, but I cannot do big drops or water. But I do like slow to medium flumes. I also cannot stand to go upside down, makes me feel like I am going to pass out. This has to be my favorite ride:
