Do you like rollercoasters?

Spin313 · August 2014

Yes, I like roller coasters, but I prefer the ones that have more twists, turns, and loops vs. just a giant drop.

msdrdg · August 2014

Nope Nope Nope Nope.

Not on your life.
Nope.

jesuisfatiguee · August 2014

I voted SS because I realized I like both falling and spinning ones.

I haven't tried any crazy roller coasters since I was a young teen. Think I should give them another shot?

jesuisfatiguee · August 2014

lol @ voting SS on my own pole. What a joker.

secretsout · August 2014

Nope.

I hate them. I'm scared of them and rides in general make me sick. I went on the scooby doo roller coaster at Kings Dominion when I was probably 7 and that was that. And one time I went on the flume and puked everywhere.

I've been on those simulation rides at Disney world, but I don't even like those. And I will go on the Pirates of the Caribbean, but that's as crazy as I get.

EVA116 · August 2014

I use to, but my body can't handle them anymore. I get sick.

lildevil968 · August 2014

I hate them. I've been on a few, and literally cried the whole time. Keep me on the ground, and spin me as fast as you want, just don't take me up in the air.

especially the superman ones where you ride just facing straight down to the ground.

OH HELL NO!!!

martha919 · August 2014

I only like ones with loops. If the whole ride is just up and down over and over, forget it. Gotta have a bit more interest.

SS- No, no, no, and fuck no. It has nothing to do with being jerked around and 100% me having zero control over them.

That, and the last one I went on was the Orient Express and it derailed a week after I was on it.

NOPE.

I think it's been a combination of no control and being jerked around for me. Do you like those really tall, intense water slides?

Smootchy · August 2014

I love roller coasters but I don't like the way my body feels after, all tossed around and junk. A real ride, like Cedar Point yes. But not a carny ride.

fitmama418 · August 2014

I do not like anything that goes upside down. I don't mind going fast though. Space Mountain? Sign me up! That's my favorite.

Smootchy · August 2014

I use to flip upside down on the Gravitron all the time. Loved it

LuckyDad · August 2014

Ss: like golf, I could take or leave roller coasters

My mom gets sick on the Scooby Doo! It's the only roller coaster she will get on and only if she takes Dramamine.

ETA I love roller coasters.

klondikebar · August 2014

I love them all, but I can't ride them anymore.

Um I basically grew up at Cedar Point. Hell yes.

I will say though- I will ride just about anything once, but haaate the sensation if coasters like Top Thrill Dragster that just launch you off rather than take you up a big ass hill first and drop you.

I actually like the launchers better. The slow up hills are annoying

klondikebar · August 2014

@bunkinmama DS2 was so excited when he hit 48 inches. His first big coaster was the front seat of the Millennium Force, I think. He insisted on waiting for the front. He said he was scared, but he was going on it.

klondikebar · August 2014

@bunkinmama Disaster Transport and the Demon Drop aren't there anymore.

4PrivetDrive · August 2014

Nope. I have a completely irrational fear of being decapitated on a roller coaster when it goes through a tunnel or of it flying off the tracks.

I did suck it up at Harry Potter World and rode The Dragon Challenge with my friend who didn't want to ride alone...because nobody could possibly die at the greatest place on earth. Right!?

I used to love them. Now I'm old and can't handle all the rides like I used to. The Aerosmith one took off too fast at Disney World and i was practically in tears the rest of the ride. When did I get so old? Your equilibrium or something changes as you get older, I think?

This. I do better on rides outside than inside though.

Nope. No.

But the virtual flying ride at Harry Potter was amazing and I could do that all day.

That ride is amazing! It made my sister throw up though. Boo motion sickness.

secretsout · August 2014

My sister went on some ridiculous roller coaster, something in the dark? Maybe at Kings Dominion? I don't know because I don't ride them, but she ended up with a horrible case of vertigo. She was in bed for 2 weeks, and even years later, she still struggles with it.

wesleycrusher · August 2014

Yes, I am willing ride all the roller coasters. But now that I'm older, I don't enjoy them quite as much as I used to- I don't think my body handles the jerking as well. So I don't have to ride them multiple times to make the trip fun, like I did when I was younger. When I'm with DD it doesn't bother me that we go on the kiddie rides and skip the big ones. But I still love them!

colliebabe · August 2014

Love them! I'm bummed because my camp group usually takes the CITs to Six Flags every year and this year I'm not going because I'm pregnant.

smlowe9311 · August 2014

Used to love them and ride them over and over (I grew up at still live in orlando so universal/islands of adventure and Disney are right in my back yard) and I still enjoy them but after one ride I need to go on something slower to give my tummy time to settle down. Lol. I feel old.

OMG, that looks both terrifying and really fun.

vandelay · August 2014

I love all rollercoasters. What's weird is that I although I can ride any roller coaster and feel fine, I can't watch an I-Max movie that simulates a roller coaster ride without immediately feeling like I'm going to hurl.

Also, I hate those rides where you're in a pirate ship or something that rocks back and forth higher and higher until it slowly flips all the way over. Those are scary as hell to me.

HerHighness · August 2014

I love roller coasters! For some reason im scared of the top thrill dragster tho. Its the only one at cedar point i havent ridden 100 times.

shadypines · August 2014

Hate them!!!!! I rather hold all pocketbooks, kids, strollers, etc etc....

I can tolerate most water rides.

klondikebar · August 2014

I think we need a whole thread dedicated to Cedar Point. There are so many defunct rides I miss. Bring back the Sky Slide! And the little remote control boats.

klondikebar · August 2014

The Pirate Ride and Mill Race!

klondikebar · August 2014

@scarlettpanda DD isn't a fan of Mantis either and she loves coasters. She says it's uncomfortable. Have you been on the Mean Streak recently? DH and DD said that it's a lot smoother and faster this year.

klondikebar · August 2014

Half of the time only one car is running on the Gemini. It stinks.

wino2006 · August 2014

I get motion sickness when they loop and go upside down so I prefer the coasters with just the drops. Love those!

RondackHiker · August 2014

This thread makes me worry that I will have lost my love of roller coasters the next time I ride one.

lifesaverz · August 2014

I'm not really an adrenaline junkie but I put yes because I do like them, haha. It has been awhile now since I've rode one though!

Pretty sure I just saw on the news right now a clip of firemen trying to help people who are stuck on a roller coaster at six flags in Maryland....

Awesome. Just another thing to be paranoid of.... lol
