Ultimate @ Lightwater Valley.

It looked very scary at the first moment....especially the (I think it was the 4th) car of the blue train was a little bit tilt to the left side.

Also I had no idea about the layout, I just knew nothing about this coaster.

 

Well, and the second half is the most insane feeling that I ever had on a coaster!

 

But neverless I love the Ultimate!

it's the suspense of that launch, you always feel like your ready you have an hour to prepare yourslef in line but your nerves are gonig crazy! then when you on the ride all the subtle things that signify the launch scare me S**tless, the brakes fins, the tran creeping backwards jsut a bit, (then if it's running with it) The horn which the coaster doesn't launch exactly on it is the scariest 10secs of my life. Your never ready.

I get bothered by stuff that goes backwards... I rarely get scarred on any rides, but going backwards really gets to me for some reason... Particularly Dejavu, I think that ride scarred me more than anything I have ever been on.

 

SheiKra was allitle nerve acting too at first, hanging on the side of the track that high in the air.... pretty neat. Dont think anything else bothers me though except those dreaded Skycoasters, I couldn't EVER do one of those.

I would say Georgia Cyclone scared me. I am all for speed and thrills and such but when I rode that coaster I sat in the very back with my niece and her and I are not petite in any way and we were lifted out of our seats constantly. We were thrown around so much she would not ride anything else that day. It was so rickety and fast. I like to think I would ride just about anything but never again on that thing.

Starflyer at Magical Midway- Holy crap that thing is high and you're just in a swings chair. Once you get spinning so fast, you have reassure your head the forces being exerted on you aren't really going to tip the tower over.

 

Oh-Zone at Lake Winnie- Quite possibly the scariest drop tower I've ever been on... even scarier than Acro and DZ at PKI. The ride drops as soon as you reach the top with no warning whatsoever because of shields above the seats that block your view.

 

Insanity & X-Scream- Do these really need an explanation?

 

ProSlide Tornados- HW's is fairly weak, but after going on SFGAm's, I'm never touching one again. I totally understand any injuries that occur on these.

 

KMG Afterburners at carnivals- Again, I have to reassure my head that the ride isn't going to tip.

I haven't really been scared on a coaster/tower/flat in years, which I actually kind of miss. Nothing out there looks overly intimidating to me, either, except maybe the Wonder Wheel or Camden Bigdipper/Williams Grove Cyclone (however I bet I'd LOVE all of those).

 

I also don't get the "drop" feeling anymore, which I miss a lot.

What's weird is that I can handle almost anything with a straight face. Dragster launch? Piece of cake. Scorpion's Tail? No problem. Free fall rides? NO FRICKEN WAY. Something about that uncontrolled free fall gives me sea legs. I can take on any coaster or flat ride with a smile, but a short free fall tower has my knees buckling.

 

I tried the drop tower at Beech Bend because I thought "Oh, this isn't too tall, so it shouldn't be a problem." Wrong. I had to sit for a bit to regain my composure (Nice to hear though that Robb says it's totally terrifying. I'm not the only one who thinks so).

Apollo's Chariot, Flight of Fear, and the Zipper at my county fair are the rides that scared me the most the first time.

 

Edit: Actuallly the ride that scared me the most the first time was Scooby Doo's Ghoster Coaster at KD. (Hey, I was 3 at the time.) After I rode it once I waited like 3 or 4 years to go on it again.
