RIP Psyclone Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Or is it even a roller coaster, could it be a drop tower? You tell me! We all want to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxleRIDAH Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 2 words for ya: Perilous. Plunge. About 95% of the roller coasters in operation today have yet to come close to the water chute on that thing. Those that have ridden it know what I'm speaking of.

Kevinj Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 This may sound bizarre, but Demon Drop (a true 1st generation Free Fall) is the most gut wrenching drop; especially if it's the first ride of the day. No silly air pushing you down or up, no cables, no thrust....just pure gravity as the floor comes out. Too bad it's saying goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odene497 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I'd say Millenium Force. My first time I had my hands up and then had to quick grab on to something. It felt so much more steep than I thought it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the original (I believe) 1st gen Intamin freefall, the aptly named Freefall at SFMM produces a feeling I don't think has been surpassed on any other ride I've been on. Which begs the question "is that it?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LcHg5265 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 The strongest stomach feeling is not on any roller coaster or any large drop tower but it is actually on the small Moser drop towers. For those of you that have been on one of these, you know what i'm talking about...I have never felt a stronger stomach than I have on this ride.

socalMAN123 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 ^^Man, those Moser drop rides pack a punch! But, I'm gonna have to agree with kraxleRIDAH, Perilous Plunge's drop is the only ride in existence whose drop actually scares the crap outta me. I've lost my stomach quite a few times on that one. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Three nominees: Oh Zone!- ARM tower at Lake Winnie... it never pauses. It rises and then suddenly drops without warning. Cyclops (back seat)- I think we've all heard the stories. Legend (back seat)- it doesn't matter where you are sitting, that first drops curves over ridiculously quick. When you're in the back seat, you just get flung over it at crazy speed. It's terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coreyml Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 only drop rides that dont tilt you out - achro the Free Falls - 1st gen drop towers have the best stomach losing feeling if you are facing down, it doesnt make you lose your stomach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 The only coaster that gives me an intense stomach feeling (that I can remember) is Medusa at SFDK in the backseat. God that drop is awesome. Oh and drop towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I have 2 nominee's... 1. Shock Drop @ Beech Bend (This thing scared the shit out of me!) 2. Demon Drop @ Cedar Point (Never fails to be the Scariest drop in the park) I edited this to give props to the swear word filter that changed my word into "poo-poo", hahaha... haven't heard of, or seen this yet.

XII Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Mega Drop @ The Traveling Fairs. That drop can scare the $hit out of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Mine comes from either Doubleshot or DropZone. Both cause me to literally freeze (as in, I can't move a muscle!) as well as no sound coming out. What exactly causes this odd tingling feeling anyway? I've always wondered. I swear, those tingles seem to last forever upon droppage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiderodes Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Mine would have to be Freefall at SFMM and the first drop on Canyon Blaster at Adventuredome. Both seem to give me that elusive "stomach feeling" everytime. Also on Sky Coasters, I get it pretty much everytime on those as well. I do notice that I used to feel it a lot more on rides when I was younger than I do now...why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I usually get it on Deja Vu and Nitro the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Thrill Dragster Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 The only ride to give a hint of the "stomach feeling" is the Mega Drop. Other than that roller coasters don't do it to me any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Back row in El Toro for me, honourable mentions Top Thrill Dragster, Millennium Force & X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Menefee Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Mega Drop still squeezes the air out of me every time the California State Fair rolls around. As for coasters..... El Toro in the back seat has pretty much been the only other coaster that still produces that "stomach feeling" for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
