martinb Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I will go on any ride but there's one ride at a certen park then when I know I'm going there I'll be weery just knowing that Im going to go on it, it's been labled as Britians scariest ride, and it deserves it! It's Apocalypse at Drayton Manor, the Stand-up Floorless part is by far the scariest!! and it helps that the seats are tilted 45degrees when you start moving up! The intensity when you drop is unreal, but I love even though I cack myself everytime I go on it! This ride is closly followed by Oblivion at Alton Towers, properly because they are the same type of ride but you face the floor on Oblivion and everything about it is so eery, the queline music, the que line video's, how you creep up the lift hill, the eternity it takes to get round that bend, and then its just pure adrenaline!! and when you hit the brakes your buzzin like a beehive!!!

paulosthejackal Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I really don't like Air after i had an experiance one time where I had a massive camera in my pocket which stopped the restraits clicking right in and I was rather loose (for this read dangling out of the ride). Not reallising just how lose I was untill the top I totally cacked my pants. This was followed by a massive asthma attack and my inhaler was nowhere to be seen because I lost it on Nemmy Luckly I found another with an inhaler who helped me out. How I laughed Oh yeah I always have a slight 'loss of belief' on oblivion when hung over the edge. The 'Oh Cack' moment you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Its gotta be Vekoma's "Tilt Coaster" I mean, I've never been on it to say for sure, but the number of times I've seen people on forums (Deep enthusiasts who claim to be fearless) saying they refuse to go on it when they would happily ride anything else in the world...

UKParkGeek Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I will go on absolutely anything but I have to say the Big Shot at the Stratosphere Tower gave me the willies big time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Old Town's 300' skycoaster in Kissimee Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkdcoaster Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 The 300' Skycoaster is definetly the scariest I have been on...but I would have to say almost anything on the Stratosphere Tower is...Especially Insanity (I think that is what it is called) JEFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Cool Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Insanity is a definate no for me just think of that like breaking down when I am dangling 1000 something feet OMG Isnt a ride but the one thing I would be freaked out about would be sky diving because I would be afraid my parachute wouldnt open, but I do like the feeling of falling so I dont no.

martinb Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 That Sky coaster looks mega!! I've only been a couple here in England, they weren't as big as 300ft but they weren't scary either, they were too much fun!Weeeeeeee all the way!!! Just out of interest, how much is it to go on that Sky Coaster in Florida? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 When I rode I believe I paid about $40 US, but I had to ride alone. The more people that ride, the cheaper it is. It's definately an unmatched rush, but I can't believe I paid that much. Could've gotten into a real theme park for that much loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterEricHP Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 The Williams Grove Cyclone scared the living crap out of me.. it's been damaged by floods, and there are strange random straight sections of flat track.. I feared for my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twister II Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Old Town's 300' skycoaster in Kissimee Florida. Serious? For me that was such a breeze! Personally, I thought it was kind of boring. For me, the scariest ride would have to be Millennium Force. The drop scares the crap out of me! But the second time I went on it, it wasn't as scary, but I still had white knuckles!

Teddymonster Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Aside from ferris wheels, I tremble at the thought of a Vekoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azbob19 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Cyclone at Six Flags New England. That Double Drop at night freaks me out. X is pretty scary too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movieguy Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I am such a weird person...I'll go on any kind of coaster, but I will not go anywhere near a ferris wheel (I'm scared of heights) or most dark rides (I absolutely freak out at the whole "Jump out and scare you" approach), or any of those flat rides where they stick you upside down...if it wasn't for my sister dragging me onto that Top Spin at Kennywood, I'd be avoiding those too.

coasterguy618 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I would say anything on the Stratasphere. Especially Isanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFOGdude25 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I know this ride probably isn't very scary to most people, but the scariest ride I've been on is Tomb Raider at PKI. IT scared the freakin crap out of me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I feel most nervous when on drop rides. Like someone else said, Oblivion is quite wickedly torturous. But, I particularly hated the Detonator at Thorpe Park. There is the audible countdown, then the obvious happens! Unfortunately I went on the ride when it first opened and there was no countdown. Legs dangling, high up, afraid of heights and too much time to think about the situation does not help! The g-force also takes your breath away. Fun though, in a strange sort of way!

downunder Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Anything on Stratosphere Tower in Vegas gets my vote. The anticipation was bad on the Sky Coaster at Old Town but the ride itself didn't really freak me, G Force at Old Town surprised me. The crawl up the lift hill on Millenium Force especially on the lake side can be a little nerve racking. Those walk throughs like Fortress Van Helsing at Universal Hollywood can be freeaky with people jumping out at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timetrial3141592 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 S+S Space Shots scare me. It is the only irrational fear I have. However, I think this ride would be the scariest: A Fish-Hook Coaster where the free-fall bit is head-first. Think of X's first drop, but 1000' high.

ShoubraStreet74 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 This may come as a shock but my home park is SFMM and I have never been on X. I know it's weird but everytime I'm there I get too freaked out to ride it. Hopefully next time I visit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
