Can you stand rollercoasters? I get this feeling like I'm going to die and all I want is to get off, back to the safe ground.

It depends on the roller coaster and the hardest part for me is all the people screaming.

If it was just me on the roller coaster--I think I'd ride it all day long.

Better yet, just a coaster that spins in tight vertical circles.

I find gravity changes satisfying--or i used to.

I haven't been on a rollercoaster in years. Unfortunately, Six Flags Astroworld, the big theme park in Houston, shut down last year.

I'm OK with them.

I took my son to Disneyland and California Adventure this summer, and I was fine with those coasters. We rode Space Mountain and California Screamin' four times each.

I am terrified of roller coasters.

I am not going on any roller coaster anytime soon.

Coaster junkie here. I live for the things, have passes to several parks, and most of my vacations revolve around parks. In fact, I don't think I've been on a vacation in my life that has not involved or was supposed to involve amusement parks.

I admit I love rollercoasters - there aren't many theme parks near where I live, but I'm always up for a rollercoaster ride.

I've always loved roller coasters, and still do although it's been quite a while since I've been to local amusement parks.

I will go on rollercoasters but I do not enjoy them, the main problem is that I am scared of heights, if they were at ground level I would like them more. I really hate the big wheel more than anything.

I used to be scared of them, but I would hide it as much as possible so people wouldn't make fun of me on church and school trips. As I desensitized myself on a trip to Six Flags once, I realized that roller coasters are no longer scary. I still do not get a thrill while riding them. The monorail at Disney world was pure joy, though. Although it was not a rollercoaster, I loved its curves and modern appearance. I loved that it went inside of a hotel at the Disney resort (unfortunately, not the one we were staying at). The lines to get onto the monorail were so long (because that was the only way to get from Point A to Point wherever for people). They should build more monorail lines

I hate roller coosters. Ever since I rode BatMan I haven't liked it.

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.
