Last week, my daughter in law, her son (grandson), and my two granddaughters (other son's daughters) went to a regional amusement park called Silverwood. Grandson, who is 9, absolutely adores roller coasters. This wouldn't be that interesting except for the fact this he is autistic. One would think that the sensory stimulation of a roller coaster would be too much, but far from it, he loves them. My two granddaughters, ages 10 and 13, were not so sure. However, (stupid) grandma talked them into it. I also was stupid enough to go on it myself. I'd forgotten how much I really hate the feeling of falling! Adding to the terror of the monster is the fact that the thing goes underground, too, so you not only have the sensation of falling, you feel like you're going to hit something, too! I bought the souvenir picture showing granddaughter 1 scared...granddaughter 2 frightened...and grandma absolutely terrified. I think I'll carry it with me, in case I'm tempted again!2 frightened grandma absolutely terrified nbsp ill carry case tempted2 frightened grandma absolutely terrified nbsp ill carry case tempted

    Rode with my granddaughters this summer. As we were going up the first steep hill and I saw what we were going to go down, I thought, "What have I done? It's too late to get off!" I was terrified. I know enough to never, ever go on one which goes upside down!

    I love the feeling with the roller coaster,But I'm afraid heights.Guess that's why I spent much of my life doing the same thing on the ground.I guess as I evolve the cars that can give you the feeling are not good for the planet,though most would never drive them much.Soon I hope to be driving a MG midget getting 25-30 mpg in the city vs my vintage Plymouth getting around 10mpg.LOL and for the record I would not feel safe in either car with a crash situation.Thinking along these lines leads one to to wonder if people feel too safe while driving.I know someone that died texting in his full size truck.This is a example of a person willing to harm others while feeling safe in his truck or SUV.If they didn't feel too safe maybe they would wake up and drive.

    I am scared to death of High places, and even the thought of the roller coaster falling off the tracks, scares me even worse.

    You'd probably have heart failure on a roller coaster! I'm not afraid of high places, but I have a fear of falling, especially after falling a couple of times and hurting myself rather badly.

    Just the other day (Wednesday) I went to Six Flags in NJ with my sister, her bf, and my friend. We went on Kingda Ka (goes 400+ feet in the air, 90 degree drop, speeds easily over 100). We went on every coaster there, and we would have probably stayed longer and went on some of them again if it wasn't for the fact that I threw my back out on El Torro (its a wooden coaster with a 90 degree drop!) and my friend 's head got smashed around. Me and my friend went crazy on the coasters, though. We were growling (the scremo type) random words and just yelling and singing the entire time, and by the time we left, neither one of us could talk. But it was sooo worth it, and we both would do it again in a heart beat.

    As I was going up the first hill to the drop that looked darned near 90 degrees, my only thoughts were, "what was I thinking and it's too late to get off now!"

    I'M A TOTAL ADRENALINE JUNKIE! xD
    The park I go to is Kings Dominion, and there's this one ride there that goes 305ft up in the air and then drops you at an 85 degree angle! A lot of people have blacked out on it, it goes so fast. IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
