CoasterCrazy Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I will never ride a Sky Coaster, they scare me to death. One of the many reasons why I don't ride them is because I don't trust the little cord that you dangle by. What amusement park ride will you never ride?
Guest Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 A Zipper. I just can't do it. They scare me to death. And Enterprise. I can't do a ride with a cage door and no seat belt. No thanks! That's about it. I have jumped from a plane, bungee jumped, sky coasters, sling shot...those don't scare me!
Zand Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 There's none I won't ride anymore, but I rode Space Shuttle at GADV when I was like 8 and I haven't been on it since (went in 1999, 2000, and 2004; was still scared of it in the first 2 and it was closed last year). I'd like to try to get back on it now though.
Millenniumguy Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I would never,ride a manual coaster a la European park style.... Also,the monkey bars in Farup Sommerland.....(yes,I am chicken)
Homer Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Looping Starships, because the restraints hurt (they choke and hurt your man-parts... fun!).
socalMAN123 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Starfliers. Those things look so freakin scary! ---Brent 8) Um...yeah
Twister II Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Ferris wheels. Put me on the tallest, scariest, fastest coaster, Ill do it. But I will NEVER do a Farris wheel. Ever. Period. SCAD Dives I'm really sceptical about the SCAD Dives tho. The whole falling into a net seem so much fun. But I think there is just to much room for error. and StarFlyers Ever since Ive seen that video of the chair swing falling over with people on it. I will NEVER go on one taller then the one at Elitches.
benzo41190 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 ^not the gods one like at the Wisconsin State Fair When you go upsidown, you dont even hit the restraint because there is like 2 G's at the top of the inversion!
307 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I don't like ferris wheels, or skycoasters. They scare the crap out of me. I'm also terrified of boats.
coasterfreak101 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 ^^Oh, have a link to that video, Twister? The only things that scare me are Drop Towers and the Skycoasters. But my home park SFA has both, and I am hoping to conquer those fears this coming year!!!
Hadhafang Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 never will i ever ride Chicago Loopers or Sky Coasters The Chicago Loopers have bad restraints and you can get stuck up at the top, while for the Sky Coaster I'm just afraid of unrestricted heights.... :shock:
Twister II Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I love SkyCoasters! Ive done the ones at: Elitch Gardens(150ft), Lagoon(150ft) and Kissimmee(300ft). The only "problem" Ive had with a skycoaster is the one at Lagoon. When I pulled the ripcord, the wire that swings you hit my head, I was fine, I just shouldn't of looked up!
ECZenith Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Anything on top of the stratosphere. Both me and my wallet fear the entire tower.
Jeezus Juice Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Mostly things I don't ride are rides I don't trust. The worst offender has to be a Zipper. It sucks because I think the ride is fantastic, but those 40 yr old cotter pins just worry me too much to enjoy the ride. I'd love to see S&S or Zamperla revisit the concept with upgraded safety features. The Starflyer I rode scared the crap out of me. I would of hoped they would have added stronger seats and chains with the added height. But no, those are basically the same seats and chains as the normal flying carousels, only about 200 feet higher! :shock: I don't have a problem with the rides on the Strat, but that Starflyer though, whoa... -Don
ParkTrips Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Rides that would probably scare the s*** out of me: Insanity, X-Scream, Star Flyer .. but I would at least ride them Rides I know I won't ride: Sky Coasters, other portable rides like the reverse bungee and stuff SCAD tower (is there one actually installed anywhere?)
SonOfBeastSucks Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I hate the Monster/ Octopus style rides. They scare the shit out of me.
Zand Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Another ride I don't care for is the Chance Slingshot. I'd rather not snap my neck in half.
Canobie Fan Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I have never found a ride I wouldnt reride.. Or that I wouldnt ride because of fear... I LOVE zippers and wish I could ride them more then I do!... I have been on SkyCoasters many times.. Slingshots.. Boosters...StarFlyer.... they dont even thrill me much The last time I really got a thrill or fright from a ride was my first ride on Katanga.....
Twister II Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 The one true good sling shots are the traveling ones. Reason. Because you get lifted up, and your not on the groud when you launch. So you just kinda rocking up 10ft above the ground, then sudenly, WHOOOSH! It was really fun, slingshots are probly one of my favorite thrill type rides.
YoshiFan Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Chaos, those rides have had too many accidents so I wouldn't feel safe riding one.
CoasterPete Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 One ride I would never ride are those Vekoma tilt coasters. I don't know if any have ever been built, but I sure wouldn't trust Vekoma or a coaster in general that much. Pete
andrea Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I wouldn't ride a zipper, double ferris wheel,or a sling shot
DATman Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 hmmmmmm I think I'd go on everything at least once, as I may never get back to that park, I'll probably regret it
tinkerbell Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 A Skycoaster and a Starflyer. They look so scary! Also, there are a lot of carnival/traveling rides that I wouldn't ride, but I can't think of any specific ones. Also I don't think I would ever ride any of the Stratosphere rides. Too high...
dougr Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Revelation at PNE-would this be a skycoaster? Insanity at Stratosphere A couple of braver TPR members on Insanity revelation-160 ft, at least 2G
