All you cats that still lose your stomach on coasters are lucky. All I feel anymore is the sensation of speed. Only drop rides can make me feel anything in the way of falling sensation. :(

I ride mostly for the expressions on my girls faces and to hangout with friends I don't see near as often as I'd like.

OMG I thought I was the only one!!! I was like well...I did get a little fat so that might contribute to it but yea, only drop towers, dive machines and jurassic park river adventure give me that "stomach in my throat" feeling...

The restraints are the worst part of Goldrusher. The bars for two seats are connected. If you have kids in one seat and adults in the other the adults get crushed.

I prefer rides with individual bars like Fury 325's trains.

Yea I lost the whole butterfly in the stomach or whatever years ago on coasters I just ride for the hell of it and the speed now a days. I dont even get the feeling on drop rides, just the heart race factor of when I'm going to drop. Now sky diving and bungee jumping even zip lining yea that stomach clutch is there. lol

Outside of the first drop (as long as it isn't a curved drop), then I rarely get butterflies in the stomach on coasters anymore unless there is extreme airtime (El Toro, Texas Giant). I still get it on drop towers. The only rides that still make me uneasy are drop towers, wild mice (For different reasons), and rides at the top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas.

Last time I was nervous on a regular coaster was my first ride on TTD.

I will be nervous the first time I ride Fury but I will be more filled with anticipation and excitement :clap:

I have yet to become immune to the stomach in my throat feeling on a first drop - even Thunder Road or Vortex.much less intimidator or diamondback or MF..I agree that drop towers are worse when it comes to that!....I'll be anxious to hear those of you who don't get that feeling report back as to whether or not you get that feeling on Fury's first drop.........

Was there as the fire truck came in, all I heard was hear-say from workers. I won't say what I heard in case that will get me in trouble, but it was NOT for someone that was hurt from what I understand. :thumbup:
