DiveMachine Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 El Toro's drop from the top and the side is OMFG scary!
ToTa8000 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 To me, Skyloop looks very intimidating and minimal safety restraints don't help at all! But once I rode it, it wasn't that bad afterwards.
mightbeawannabe Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I don't normally get scared on big rides, not skycoasters, not hyper coasters, not drop towers, but I will NEVER BE RIDING A CAROUSEL. EVER. AGAIN!! Or anything with clowns! Â I will have none of that.
andre8 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Drop Zone at CGA and Goliath at SFMM's first drop. Drop Zone was the only giant drop I've been on, which is probably why I was scared.
TJ27 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Goliath at SFMM scared me the first time and X2 scared me a little but other than that i havent really been scared on a ride
simon8899 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I really don't like drop-towers. Did Scream in Heide-Park once and would be happy to never do it again. Hollywood Tower Hotel is the mightiest I do in drop-towers....
gforce532 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 The last roller coaster that I rode that scared me when I first rode it was the original X at SFMM.  Skycoasters, Skyscrapers, and Sling Shots also scare me but you usually have to pay a seperated admission cost for them so I have never had a problem of being with someone who wanted to go on. Though I do plan on riding them sometime soon, so I can say that I have been on them  200ft plus freefall rides also scare me (particularly Drop Tower at KI), but I still go on all of them, so I guess I'm not that scared of them.
805Andrew Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 The first time I rode X at SFMM in 2004. I had no idea what was going on during the ride. I was in the back row, far edge close to the station when going up the lift hill. Going up that slooow lift hill backwards with nothing below me but the lift hill and the ground really built up the anticipation to the first drop. That first ride was so awesome and made the almost 3 hour wait worth it.
DiSab Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 ^Your 24, be a man, not a sissy! Â Thanks for the insight there, Captain D-bag.
CardCraze Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 ANY Space Shot. I can do coasters of all shapes and sizes, drop towers, and rides that spin you upside down for 30 minutes. Â But dammit, I'm horrified of Space Shot type rides.
cprocks22 Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 X scared me pretty bad the first time I rode it. Recently the ride that scared me the most was Slingshot at Kings Island. First time doing one and man was I nervous, I ended up loving it though.
coasterjohnh Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Skyhawk,Max Air at Cedar Point scare me. I still ride them though.
Geauga Dog Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Only two rides have scared the crud out of me. Â 1. The first time I rode the Big Shot on top of the Stratosphere back in 1996. It was also my first S&S tower ride. To be launched even higher than the top of the Stratosphere and looking down on the city it felt like there was nothing below you to catch you on the way down. Â 2. The first time I tried the Xtreme Skyflyer at Kings Island. It's a skycoaster but for the longest time I had a slight fear of these types of rides but I had a strong desire to try one. Since KI usually runs a good deal on this I decided to face that fear. Those first few seconds of freefall really scared me. Now I'm hooked and try to ride it at parks that have a decent price for it.
dippindotsguy8 Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 The only ride that scares me anymore is the SCAD tower. I love them though, so hopefully I'll have the chance to ride one again sometime, not in the ghetto that is extreme world...
Anything Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Only drop towers really, it's the suspense more than anything.
DarienLaker Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Noah's Ark at Kennywood believe me, the animatronic animals in there are not friendly looking and they kind of creped me out!
DCody Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I'm ashamed to say that the haunted house at Knoebels is terrifying for me.
A.J. Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 The ride itself isn't scary - it's that blasted truck horn.
RoCo Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 The Kissimmee Skycoaster, without question. It's hard to discuss without resorting to expletives. Â Once we were flying, it was spectacular, but that trip up? Ay chihuahua...
PhantomNick Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Drop Towers (not the Space Shots) still make me uneasy.....that anticipation of the drop while perched at the top still gets me every time! And one of the best/worst of those for me is Pitt Fall at Kennywood. 2 of the 4 cars look out over the huge ravine, so the 250 feet in the air you are feels like almost 400!! Â Also, when I rode X-Scream on the Stratosphere, that scared the hell out of me! There's something in my head that wails in alarm at the notion of flying off the edge of a 900-foot building! Still was tons of fun though!
imawesome1124 Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Since I'm afraid of heights, drop towers and skycoasters scare me. I will never go on those kinds of rides.
JJ728 Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I can just flat out not do the haunted house at Universal Studios Hollywood. Pushing past the bags of dead bodies and the scent effects are just too much...
Andrewoplis Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 X2 scared the crap out of me last time I rode it.
