Are you afraid of roller coaster？Last week, I went to the Amusement Park and try to experience it. I used to be very frightened, but I was forced by my friends, so I tried, however I closed my eyes all the process.
What about you?

I love roller coasters!!

[Deb C.]

I think roller coasters are probably my most favorite ride! However, I do have to admit that I get a little scared when I'm standing in line watching it sometimes.

I'm a little frightened - I'll go on the easy ones. I don't even like to watch the ones that tip upside down.

I used to love them when I was a kid. My Dad and I would always ride the big one at Coney Island. Now I'll go on the real easy ones, but not the ones that twist and turn upside down.

[LaLo1103]

Love, love, love them all!

I can't say I'm afraid of roller coasters other than I'm afraid they will make me sick to my stomach. I get motion sick really easily so I avoid most carnival/amusement park rides. I also am not a fan of feeling like I'm falling which is inherent in roller coaster riding.

I remember going to Disneyland in the 4th grade with my Girl Scout troop. We all had to ride the same rides and I was forced to go on the Matterhorn. I kept my eyes closed and gripped the sides the whole ride. I was so scared. Then I moved to Tulsa, OK in the 9th grade and there was an amusement park with a wooden roller coaster named Zingo. I fell in love. I have loved every roller coaster since then except the Ninja at Six Flags in St. Louis.

Is the wooden roller coaster much exciting?

[BarbaraC1977]

I've never gone upside down on a roller coaster, but they never used to bother me. I like log flumes even better, though, because you were cooled off by splashes. Wooden roller coasters tend to have more shake & vibration, so even though they don't go as fast, they can be scary.

Ditto what Barbara said

Yes! Yes! Yes! I am definitely afraid of roller coasters! But I LOVE to ride the tilt-a-whirl!

[Jenna]

I love all coasters, & the freefall rides as well. I like the wooden ones the least simply because they are much jerkier & I nearly always end up with a sore neck, kinked back, or headache (I still ride it every time we go though, go figure!).

[April Showers]

Love, love, love roller coasters (even Ninja ) I don't do spinning rides though, they make me a bit sick.

I was reading this thread to Rich and telling him what I had written and he reminded me that just 8 years ago I had happily agreed to ride the huge, treacherous, scary rollercoaster at Dollywood with Christopher. I do not know what I was thinking! I do remember that seeing it from the "getting on" point showed only a portion of the valley that rollercoaster went into - the departure point was where I realized that we had actually dipped up and down into the valleys between the mountains and I couldn't believe I had actually survived that ride! Christopher wanted so badly to ride it and it was just the three of us and Rich WAS NOT going to do it, so I just did what Mom's do - that little tiny sacrifice won't happen again! LOL LOL

[CindyLuWho]

When I see the sign that says, "If you have back problems.... don't ride this ride" I always know that I should NOT ride whatever it is I'm standing in line for because I have severe scoliosis. But usually, I don't ride roller coasters anyway. I don't mind the speed, but I am a chicken about the heights and just don't like being jerked around.
