if you were falling to your death, would you want to fall on your back or face down so you could see the ground coming?

Doing flips and let inertia decide.

i wouldn't wanna get dizzy

also whats the best rollercoaster youve been on?

Ehhhhh.....I think Batman at Six Flags, but i think the one that I'll always remember exactly was Montezooma's Revenge at Knott's berry Farm. 

haven't been on one for about 10 years though....Was looking forward to it when we went to Florida, but I'm being rerouted to Cali after my sister's wedding instead later this month.  Won't have time for fun while I'm out there.

I hate trains and heights... but I ride it out on coasters over and over, eyes wide open, and having a blast.

I don't like trains just because it's a shitty means of conveyance if you need to be somewhere.  Heights....It's weird.  I love to fly, and I don't mind rides that shoot me into the air, but I fucking hate being on foot in any high place....Give me this really uneasy feeling.  Like if I were ever to cross one of the glass bridges, I would be the person someone would have to drag across it because my legs would give out.

I wanna zipline in the mountains here...It's literally 10 minutes away, but still haven't gone.  Me and the drunk chick I was talking to last year had reserved our spot but broke up the previous weekend and i didn't wanna go alone.

I hate trains because fuckall if something happens, you either have control and crash horribly or lose complete control and crash horribly.

I couldn't do a zipline but I can do a bridge to an extent... if it's too unstable feeling Ima high-step it across that fucker

Or scary rides in general.  

Do you do it....I think you're kind of cheating yourself on the experience if you do.  I understand the fear involved, but once you get over the initial hump, why continue to do it.  I like to see the excitement.

I have and always will love Roller Coasters

Ferris Wheels use to scare the shit out of me because they had a single bar and my Dad wasn't out of shape, but, he was bigger than my frame and the single security bar stopped at his waist

leaving me tons of wiggle room as we just ascended towards the sky at dangerous levels.  He use to let me borrow his sunglasses because I was embarrassed at the fact I'd close my eyes

I keep my eyes open, which came in handy when the safety bar started pushing outward due to not being latched properly. There's a part of me that's still resentful of that chick next to me who had her eyes closed during the whole ride, didn't see me struggling to snap the bar back in place, and then opened her eyes after it was over to say, "Hey, it wasn't that bad!" Being in shock about what just happened was the only reason why I didn't strangle her. Fuck you, Eye-closers!

My fav is the dominator which was named and color schemed like a batman clone when it first came out even tho it's not. It has lots of inversions and corkscrews like a batman tho. I rode that thing 100s of times when it was in geauga lake in ohio. I haven't rode it since it moved to virginia in 2007. It's one of my goals to be reunited with it.

Millenium force at cedar point is probably my fav one that I've been able to ride the past decade.

I've never been on a rollercoaster so I wouldn't really know.

I guess I'd probably do the same thing I do on airplane take offs and landings though - watch everything because I don't want to be caught off guard by any sudden changes in direction. 

.....Well I think this would be fruitless since rollercoasters are pretty much all sudden changes in direction.

I don't usually, but rollercoasters can be tricky if it's a day that's already windy because of my eyes.

But you can still see there are curves coming up so it isn't a total whiplash thing. 

If I closed my eyes on a plane, I'd get massively motion sick. Sight helps.
