Wicked Twister is the only coaster that has ever scared me, that launch is more forceful than it looks. Unlike Boomerangs? Cobra is my second favorite coaster.

The scariest experience I've had on a roller coaster is nowadays when I ride nowadaysk. I rode it the first time when I was maybe 8 or 9, and weighed like 80 or so lbs, but now that I weigh about 140 I can really feel myself "falling out" especially in the corkscrews for some reason. In the end I know it's safe, and it's just an added sense of feeling out of control. But it's still unreal

The first drop doesn't scare me now like it did when I was young, but heights still freak me out. I think Wicked Twister and the giant Vekoma boomerangs would be so fun, but probably scare me most.....But the height of Fury is so extreme. We look at it on webcam all we want, but being on it and going over the crest of that massive hill and that drop that will seemingly never end will be crazy! And those open air trains will make it even more fun....

The biggest coaster fear obstacle I had to overcome was inversions. I finally decided I would ride Cyclone when I was 12 or 13. Then the idea of positive G-force was foreign to me and I was convinced I stood a chance of falling out. :lol:

No! Did you just go down a notch on my ladder? I had you as the High Priestess of coastering. J/K :D Man, I can't believe you haven't ridden Wicked Twister. I actually loved that ride. The only thing scary, to me, was seeing the top of the track wiggle while I was on it. I was there for the opening but I'm sure it doesn't wiggle like that anymore. :wink: Jonathan probably knows better than me.

I know they have a bit more to go before testing but I also wonder if they will wait until they finish, landscaping etc., the bridge / tunnel before they start?

lol! I'd still ride it. I'd just be prepared with spare undies. :)

I actually haven't been to Cedar Point. :oops: :oops: :oops: Hopefully next year. I'm waiting to go there till my daughter is tall enough to ride everything with me.

The impulse coasters are pretty awesome. I love the ones that stop you on the back spike for a second.

The only thing that "frightens" me about a coaster is when I begin imagining very unlikely scenarios, such a bolt coming off a support and the train derailing. I believe my first coaster was Hurler when I was 8 or 9.

I haven't even done anything bigger than goldrusher, and I couldn't even fit in the restraints last time I went, so I have to force myself to man-up a little bit. :lol:
