André Toulon Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poof Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 no i'm pretty chill on rollercoasters. i like to watch and see everything. i love rollercoasters 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?

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonSinger Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamped Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I don't close or cover my eyes but I take off my glasses so I don't lose them .... and ... well Im blind so I don't really see anything too clearly until after the ride stops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackiemarie90 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 What if we are the person that HATES roller coasters and we’re COERCED into getting on my family members and friends?

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.

SwimModSponges Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I rode a rollercoaster once. After my brain injury though anything that moves my head around too quickly is a recipe for unbearable vertigo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnapItCrackItPopIt Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) I do it because if I don't I'm more likely to get nausea. I also sing Swing Low, Sweet Chariot while on the coaster. Edited May 13, 2019 by SnapItCrackItPopIt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

André Toulon Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 Which just made me realize, I hate Space Mountain.....It's dark the entire time, with some random flashing lights and noises......But at the end of the day, it kind of takes away from the experience.

katt_goddess Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 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.

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.
