Are roller coasters the best ride ever invented?

Poll question: Are roller coasters the best ride ever invented?

[Left Is Write]

1. Yeah.

[_testify_]

2. I got to ride the new Expedition Everest at Disney

two weeks ago the first day it opened!

INTENSE ride!

3. I think roller coaster review writer

would be the best job on the face of the planet. When I go to an amusement park, the only thing I ride is the roller coasters (unless they have an antique carousel - I will always ride an antique carousel and we have both at the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz).

4. Um, no.

:puke:

I used to love roller coasters until one made me sick when I was about 13.

6. Other: They scare me

I got stuck for hours in one that broke down once while I was at the top. I've been too scared to get on another one.

I was a only kid then so it may have only been 5 minutes but it sure felt like hours. :rofl:

[skygazer]

7. Well, I can understand your point of view

That wouldn't be fun. :hi:

[Nicole]

9. It sure wasn't

and I have not been on one since. :hi:

[Nicole]

8. I voted for sick since scared wasn't an option

Being scared can make you sick. :puke:

[skygazer]

11. Yeah

And then you get sick of being scared. ;)

I'm that way with boats and water - I nearly drowned as a kid and I just can't relax on a boat or around a swimming pool even though I know it's irrational. :hug:

[Nicole]

18. Irrational is not always a bad thing

IMHO. It keeps us from safely away from things that make us scared &/or sick.

That's my story & I'm sticking to it. :)

[LeftyMom]

10. they scare me too

I'm very very afraid of heights. :scared:

[_testify_]

14. I am TERRIFIED of heights

Bein' scared is half the fun!

[Nicole]

16. I hate that for you

but glad I'm not alone in this. :)

[LeftyMom]

17. At this point in my life I'm used to it

and I've got a bit better over the years. As a kid elevated freeways and bridges scared the hell out of me (that made visits to my Bay Area relatives a riot, believe me) but now I can handle them okay if I'm in a car.

I absolutely can't stand less than a few body lengths away from any drop-off though. My feet simply won't move in that direction and I freeze and crouch near the secure, safe ground until some brave soul comes and retrives me.

[Nicole]

19. Glad you've gotten better

and used to that which isn't.

Here's hoping you always have a brave soul nearby when needed. :)

[stellanoir]

12. What ???

No Space Mountain or Pirates of the Carribean option ???

[skygazer]

13. Okay, so it's a slightly slanted poll

Slightly. But hey, I included a sick option - I almost didn't do that!

[Blue_Tires]
