I haven't gone on many, but I liked them. The worst part is the line and waiting for it to start - I really freak out there.

I dont actually enjoy them. To many risks. When I did I imagined I was in a space shuttle without inertial dampeners. I also imagined being in a very fast jet. I would enjoy the imaginations though. The risks are worth it in my opinion.

I love them,I rode an indoor one in las vegas 12 times in a row (it was late and the line(aka que) was short) and I passed out from the g-force...it had 3 loops and 4 cork-screws

I don't like going on real coasters, but I like to make parks with coasters by the computer.

I love roller coasters, and amusement parks. Unfortunately, I haven't been to an amusement park in like 3 years (i usually go at least once a year). For my graduation present, my mom, sister, and I went to certain old amusement parks out on the east coast. That was a very fun trip.

Roller Coaster Tycoon? I love that game!

I hate those extreme roller coaster ones. They tickle my tummy real hard and it feels like my brains are going to pop out of my head becase we're going to fast. I like the ones at Disneyland and the one at the Adventure Park but not the huge one that has a Mickey Mouse face on it. I liked the roller coaster at the MGm theme park in Las Vegas.

I personally am scared shitless when it comes to rollercoasters.

I find them mildly entertaining but I dont really love or hate them.

Actually if given a choice I prefer to go on those carnival rides where you lean up against the wall and it spins sticking you to the wall and generating 2 or 3 Gs of lateral force those I like for some reason.

I've never been on a roller coaster but, even still, I don't like them. Which is the main reason I've never been on one. Makes me dizzy just watching.

I don't like rides in general. I like my stomach to stay exactly where it is.

I really enjoyed roller coasters when I was a kid. I haven't been on one in years.

Aaah I'm so glad that I found this thread!

I absolutely love rollercoasters and rides, and theme parks is one of my obsessions! It has been for years. I work at Thorpe Park, and I absolutely love it! I can't wait until next year, when I am 18, I'll be able to operate the rides then, and not just be an attendant! :P

Going upsdie down, or really fast, doesn't bother me at all, I love it! My stomach going over is great but is what scares me most...but I seem to love having that fear! The rides that has made my stomach go over the most is Detonator, at Thorpe Park, which is my avatar. It is only 100ft high, but you don't just drop, pneumatic pistons push the gondola down at speeds of 45mph, so it is very forceful and gut-wrenching. But I always go back for more...and more...and more...

Roller coasters aren't too friendly for OCDers...

The fear of dying and falling off of the track makes them hell for me.

But that's the best one! 8O

I guess SuperMan's out too huh? I have to admit, although I'm a roller coaster junkie, I actually had a panic attack on SuperMan the first time I rode it. All I could think the entire time was that if the harness broke, I was so dead.

**SuperMan is one of those coasters where the car is hanging from the underside of the track and the seats pivot forward at a 45 degree angle before the ride starts; you're facing the ground the entire time like you're flying**
