I started loving coasters very gradually. I grew up very close to a very mediocre theme park (Loudon Castle - Defunt as of last month) and visited regularly (4-5 times P.A.) I was a total wimp only riding kiddie rides until i was like 11! However, i gradually built up confidence and by the time i was 12ish i was riding the bigger rides at the park (Huss Enterprise, S&S space shot.....) And from then on i have grown to love rollercoasters, flat rides, Hotdogs and Theme Park Review and so today i consider myself a fanatic!
