I don't like amuzement parks. Of course i've been to them as a kid, and also at work as a free benefit once, but somehow they just don't amuze me :0
I don't see the thrill in putting myself into danger-and-confusion-like situations  |

| I'm an hour away from Cedar Point. I will scream and poop my pants. I'll get one of those cool photos they take at the rides most terrifying moment for proof. |

it's always good to see engineers pushing the limit - I think. That's a pretty wicked setup!

Hey Andromeda... think you can post a photo of yourself so I can make sure NOT to get on a rollercoaster with you? That would be great. Thanks.

There isn't a single aspect of that coaster that isn't profane.

I highly doubt anyone will die on that ride. Maybe one or two if the park staff is negligent, but that can happen anywhere. These things look dangerous, but it's such safe fun! The biggest danger is getting puked on.
That said... I wanna ride!

My younger brother got hurled on a few years ago at Canada's Wonderland. One person puked, and because it was so fucking rancid, 3 more people puked. I don't think there was anyone on the ride that didn't end up with puke on them in some way or another.
Hahah, so glad I sat that one out.  |

| Dammit, I had to visit Cedar Point before this thing was built. Dammit to hell, now I need to go again. Looking at the pics just makes me shake. |

If I were forced to ride this, I would scream like a nine year-old girl and wet my pants. |
The Pepsi Max "Big One" @ Blackpool Pleasure beach, England.
Was the biggest when first opened & still rated as one of the biggest & best, utilizing "vertical reality" it broke new ground in coaster technology by scaring the shit out of the passengers by making them seriously feel they would either fall out or get smacked on the head by sections of the track.
I rode it several times, still thought the water slide at Wet 'n' Wild in Orlando was scarier, but I used to abseil outa helicopters, so I guess my adrenaline levels are a little used to that kinda adrenaline addiction.
