What Rides Scares the Crud Out Of You?

[apollo210]

X scares me. I might not ride it for a while though

[matteocrepaldi]

The coaster that scared me the most is Millennium Force. I was so scared that I covered my eyes with my hands in the first part of the drop. After that it was just awesome.

 

I'm pretty scared of big drops. That's the only thing that scares me on a coaster.

[Canobie Fan]

I cant find a coaster or flat that really freaks me out or that I wont reride.

[DATman]

MF scared me the first time I went on it. I rode in the front with some guy I didn't know, and I was basically scared out of my mind, but the first drop was amazing, and after that I was fine.

I have a huge fear of Enterprise (Huss). If I am given a bet to ride it I will, but I have to ride with someone I trust, they scare the s**t out of me. Cages with no seat belts are NOT cool.

 

Other then that, I don't get scared on any coaster.

[CoasterExpert13]

Pretty much any freefall ride, mainly Pitfall at Kennywood. As far as coasters go, I'd have to say Head-spin (Mind Eraser) at Geuaga Lake & Invertigo at PKI, only going backwards down the spikes...not really scary...just really gets my stomach going. But TTD at CP and the Steel Phantom (formerly at Kennywood) scared the piss out of me during my first rides on both.

 

Haven't really been scared of any coaster before TTD...but there's a first for everything

[sfmmFREAK]

freefall at magic mountain still scares the crap outa me. Its just that feeling you get when its going up, then when it makes that "kerchunk" noise at the top. The only downside to that ride is the uncomfortable OTSRs.

[niiicolaaah]

I would have to say those weird loop rides that are at fairs. every time I go on them, I always feel like I am going to be stuck upside down forever. I do prefer the Ranger/SkyFlyer/Terminator/Kamikaze type rides for those cannot get stuck.

 

 

Oh God, I second that!!!

[FeelTheFORCE]

i would have to say demon drop or any type of intamin freefall because they are pretty old and look like a big scrap of metal just sitting there and knowing the possibility of the brakes failing. another one i would have to say is the end of thunderbolt at kennywood, thats not a OMG!!!! type of scared but a few years ago the operator forgot to put on the brakes and one train hit the back of another going kinda fast, so i always think thats gonna happen to me.

[QueerRudie]

Easy set: Mountain Slidewinder at DollyWood- One of only a handful of rides where death seemed closer than it appears.

 

ANY Intamin Gyro/Acro/Tower Drop rides. Never have liked the feeling of falling off a perfectly good tower.

 

SkyCoasters. Same as above. If G_d had intended for me to swing from a cable, he'd have put a hook insert in my back.

 

Any production Vekoma Coaster. I've never been into punishment by lethal OTS restraints.

 

Just about anything TOGO for obvious reasons. I thought the Japanese were supposed to be world famous for quality in production?

[ECZenith]

S&S Turbo Drops or Combo Drops/any Intamin drop ride that holds you at the top of the tower.

 

I always feel like I'm going to be stuck up there for eternity.

 

<----- Terribly afraid of heights for prolonged periods of time.

[jamesdillaman]

OMG any skycoaster. hope the 18 year old stoner who checked my carabiner was paying close attentiont during training!

A Morgan Hypercoaster. Ok, with that out of the way, I would have to say that you would not catch me on a Star Flyer without a parachute.

[..::[iCE_MAn]::..]

Deja Vu....just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine!!! I've only done it 5 times and NEVER AGAIN!!!

[verticalzero]

I would not go on the list below as I would be "White Knuckled" and feel scared.

 

Vertical Drop / Space Shot Towers

Shot n Drop's Towers

Star Flyer (the standard swing o chair is bad enough)

Any KMG flat rides

 

The Vertical Drop at Hayling Island (UK) is only 120ft high and I came off colourless "white" and shaking.

[seamonkey189]

Deja Vu is the scariest ride EVER for me. It was even worse since my friend was telling me about how it has been valleying while he was on it and getting stuck before the loop. Also waiting in the station is pretty freaky because your like 2 feet away from it while its going like 60 MPH. So ya.

[Lagoonperson]

The only coaster I have been scared of was Desperado. It was my first Hyper coaster. After my first ride that was cleared up.

[CoasterFanatic]

Intamin Drop Towers (ie: Drop Zone, Pitfall, etc) - I still get a little "concerned" during the free fall.

[Lagauloise]

For who said the Slidewinder at Dollywood scared them - yep! I have been going to Dollywood and riding that ride my whole life (literally) and I think it's a miracle the boat I'm in has never flipped over or no one's been tossed out. I'm going tomorrow, so I'll hopefully cheat death again

 

That being said, I still love it!!!

[jamesdillaman]

The only fear I have on Mountain Slidewinder is the fear that my clothes will NEVER dry after riding...

The swinging cars on Deno's Wonder Wheel - Coney Island - scare the crap out of me.

 

1. the thing is a bazillion years old

2. it looks like all the track that the swinging cars ride on is bent, and that they could easily fall off the track

3. it hasn't been painted, or greased, in a couple of decades

4. the cars feel like your in a caged dumpster, and the elevated seats keep your feet off the floor.

4. the ride ops look like recent prison escapees

[FlippyTrick09]

There are only 2 things that really scre me to death.... The First one is Acrophbia... I guess cause its really tall and is floorless.... and the second one is Power Surge. The only part that scares me iswhen your headed straight down and your putting all your weight on the restraint... so yeah...

[jarmor]

Anything on the stratasphere tower! "Good" Goliath scares me when going over the hills! Its like you gonna be ripped out of the seat!

[KrakenKing]

Deja Vu and any Drop Tower (Not S&S or ToT)

 

Also, Zippers at Fairs

[mike541x]

I would have to say the Drop zones rides. I was afraid that the breaks would fail and we would hit the ground. Also some carnival rides scare me because they were built in a few days when they are being set up.
