I haven't been on too many roller coasters, I don't get the chance very often.

But for my high school physics class (both years) we got to take a field trip to Great America, and ride the roller coasters as our assignment. I totally love Top Gun, Stealth, Drop Zone (but that's not really a roller coaster, now is it?) Hmmm...

Unfortunately I have to take my glasses off before riding any coaster so I won't lose them. And I can't even see my computer screen without them. It's still a cool feeling. I'm not really a screamer, but screaming does help a little. I always feel better when I'm screaming.

I am usually 'dragged' to the coaster parks in Ohio by Lisardo, since I met her. *dusks her bap if she reads this* This year it's gonna be Kings Island (we did Magic Mountain last year).

I don't mind them, I think they're cool.. but I'm certainly not a roller coaster enthusiast. Especially when the rabid roller coaster nuts try to pick me up and carry me in line of the one I 'm scared of the most.

But I'm weird, I don't get nautious from them. No... I fear I will have a heart attack instead! It's the really tall coasters, or the 'falling' rides I avoid like the plague. I discovered this fear after riding the Magnum, a damn high coaster that has two hills (It compares to the Goliath). But that's not enough for Cedar Point. They had to erect the Millienium Force in 2000! *shudder* I fear this thing.. I refuse to ride this, even if someone paid me a million dollars!

But the ones that are suspended, twist and twist and/or go upside down are my favorites, along with the classic woddies like the Beast and the Colusium(sp).

**azure turtle** · 05-31-2002, 05:07 PM

Holy moly! You mean that the Millenium beat Goliath's record for tallest and steepest drop? Man!! There's no way I'd get on that thing...I'm a coaster enthusiast, but I know my limits. Hey Kali, I've got the same problem...I always end up pocketing my glasses because I fear losing them. One time, I completely forgot while riding Drachen Fire (sp?) at Busch Gardens at Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. I had my hand in front of my face the whole time.

**Kali** · 05-31-2002, 05:10 PM

Hey, ever been on one of those Sky Flier rides? The ones where they strap you into a harness, use a crane to lift you up a few hundred feet, then drop you? Free fall is so cool. You feel like a pendulum after a while.

**azure turtle** · 05-31-2002, 05:13 PM

*cringes*
I'm scared of free falling rides. I dunno why, but I just can't get on any rides like that.

*enigma-1* · 05-31-2002, 06:23 PM

Azure, why do you think I avoid those rides like the plague? If anyone wants to get me on one, they had to tie me up and gag me.

**azure turtle** · 05-31-2002, 06:39 PM

Heh heh...I avoid those rides because I'm scared of heights. I can ride rollercoasters because I'm usually sitting in the middle, so I can't really see anything. But free fall rides are a whole different story...
*shudders*

**Kali** · 05-31-2002, 06:40 PM

*shrugs* To each their own. I personally love the adrenaline rush, and can't get enough of it.

*enigma-1* · 05-31-2002, 06:40 PM

Free fall or roller coaster, I avoid both. My heights' fear is too bad for that. I mean, I freak out when I go over high bridges unless my eyes are closed.

Samantha · 05-31-2002, 11:29 PM

Fear of heights I totally get (Why do you think I keep my eyed closed when I go on rollor coasters?)

I hope I don't get nausious at my friends birthday party (at an amusment park). I just got car sick today.

Heh... it's the FALLING bit that'll keep me from doing that too. Or go bungee jumping, or ride the "falling elevator".

But.. didn't you say once that you jumped from a plane, Azure? What was that like? Do you feel like you're falling (like on a roller coaster) or what?

*enigma-1* · 06-03-2002, 08:42 PM

*actually faints at the thought of jumping out of a plane or anything like that*

**azure turtle** · 06-03-2002, 08:43 PM

I what?! LOL! No way, HT! I think you've confused me with someone else. I've never jumped out of an airplane, and I don't plan on doing so any time soon. I get nervous just sitting in a plane...and that's when it hasn't started moving yet!

*enigma-1* · 06-03-2002, 08:45 PM

Note to self: Avoid all aircraft.

**Kali** · 06-03-2002, 08:48 PM

I'M the one who loves free falling! I went on one of those huge crane swing rides, and Great America's Drop Zone, of course. Never jumped from a plane or bungee jumped, but those are things I do want to do someday! What can I say, I love the adrenaline rush.

*enigma-1* · 06-03-2002, 08:49 PM

And I love keeping my lunch. How can you stand doing that?

**Kali** · 06-03-2002, 08:50 PM

*shrugs* I just like it. To each their own and all that.

*enigma-1* · 06-03-2002, 08:51 PM

*nods* Sounds like you're quoting one of my sayings.

**HorseTechie** · 06-03-2002, 08:57 PM

I can keep my lunch fine... it's my nerves that get all riled up when the G forces get too much. Ish... my poor heart! It's like I get agonizing pins and needles all over, that no amount of screaming and clawing will relieve.

But I love being high up, like in trees or on tall buildings. And flying is really cool too. Hubby and I were fighting over who got the window seat on our trip.

*enigma-1* · 06-03-2002, 08:58 PM

*faints again at the thought of that*
