Do you like them? If so, which ones? Any favorite rides?

Do you hate them?

I used to love them when I was younger, but I wouldn't get on a ride now if someone paid me. A couple of days ago, this poor guy died after falling out of a roller coaster at a Massachusetts Six Flags.

I like them (well mainly the Disney ones) but i'm not into Roller coasters and rides like that I'm more into the Kiddie rides (so what if i'm 31 and to old for them *giggles*) and I LOVEEEE Water rides (eventhough i'm terrified of Water GO FIGURE)

Dutabi84 · 05-02-2004, 02:02 PM

No thanks.

Something about goint on a 2 minute ride to experience 5 g's forced on your body just doesn't seem very appealing.

Wildwood NJ has a cool little amusement park on the boardwalk... I go there atleast twice every summer. They have a few big rollarcoasters, and a waterpark. Plus, it's right on the beach.. so it's cool.

Someone died going on a roller coaster? How old was he? Is there a link that has a story about it?

Ok, back to your question.
I like some of the rides. My favorites are probably the roller coaster (which can be freaky alot, but fun), and I like the ferris wheel.

Man Dies After Fall From Roller Coaster

AGAWAM, Mass. (May 2) - A 55-year-old man with cerebral palsy died Saturday when he fell out of a roller coaster at an amusement park, according to park officials and a newspaper report.

Stanley J. Mordarsky of Bloomfield, Conn., fell out of the Superman Ride of Steel roller coaster as it was approaching the end of its run at the Six Flags New England amusement park, park officials said.

"All of a sudden people started screaming, 'Stop the ride, stop the ride,' someone has fallen off,'' eyewitness Sara Syez told WHDH-TV in Boston.

"They finally stopped the ride and it was extreme panic and we looked and all the people in the cars were crying ... and we looked over to the side and there was a gentleman laying by the fence.''

Mordarsky was pronounced dead 45 minutes later at a local hospital, the park said.

The victim's 82-year-old mother, Germaine Mordarsky, told The Hartford Courant her son had cerebral palsy and used a scooter for transportation. She said her son liked to visit the park 90 miles west of Boston two or three times a year.

"I can't understand why they would let him on a ride like that in the first place. He was so sickly and handicapped. I just can't believe it,'' she said.

Park spokeswoman Mary Ann Burns said there are ride requirements to ensure safety, and guidelines for the disabled, The Courant reported. She would not comment further.

The ride was closed immediately and park officials, police and the state are investigating. It was not known late Saturday what caused the accident.

Park officials said the roller coaster had been inspected Saturday morning and was certified for operation by state certified inspectors before the park's season opening on April 17.

That's really sad

TVFactFan · 05-02-2004, 02:55 PM

That's why I never liked roller coasters. They are dangerous and i will never ride them. The only ride I like and will ride over and over is the SEA DRAGON. It's the boat that rocks back and forth.

I LOVE the dragon ride!

I'm not a big roller coaster fan either. I did ride on the Batman one time at Six Flags over Georgia in Atlanta, but I won't do that again. It goes upside down!

I was scared to death I was going to fall! I could feel my shoes almost fall too(they loosened up).

They have bigger rides than that now, including the Superman(or Spiderman can't remember which) where your upside down the ENTIRE time. No thank you.
