I am with you on that one. I used to love rollercoasters, but that big drop is something you have to get past. At our Six Flags nearby, they got this ride called "The Predator", I swear the first drop is so damn long.

You should go to Universal Studios in Orlando. I been there twice, and they got movie rides that I will take over rollercoasters any day. The best ride there is "Back II the Future" You sit in a car and face a screen with pictures. The car rocks, and it looks like you are driving into the wall.

I despise roller coasters. I don't think I ever liked them. Maybe it was because I went on the Cyclone in Coney Island as a little kid and it scarred me. Who knows, but I hate them.

I was for the longest time, but two years ago on a marching band trip we went to Universal Studios. Now I had it planned out from the beggining I would stick to all the movie rides like GARFIELDKOOL said, but my friends wanted to go to the Island of Adventure (where the coasterrs are) so I decided to go. Also I was trying to impress a girl at the same time and it did work. I know that if I hadn't got on with her she would be kind of embarassed of me. So my first roller coaster I ever went on I belive might be the biggest on the East Coast. I went on the Incredible Hulk Coaster and the Dueling Dragons. I mean I was scared as anything in the line but I wouldn't let on. Now she was scared so she wanted me to hold her hand on the coaster, now if I hadn't got on I wouldn't have been in that very good situation for me-lol Now I had a great day because I beat one of my fears and I got to spend the whole day with a girl I was after for a long time. She was two grades a head of me and graduated a few weeks later and I really haven't seen much of her since, but it was still a GREAT day for me and her.

Here are the two coasters

Dueling Dragons

Incredible Hulk

We were there two days so we did do the movie rides the next day. We went on Jaws, Earthquake, The Mummy, Twister, and many others.

I love them, thats all I ride with I go to amusement parks, the bigger the roller coast the more fun I have. What's the use of going to amusement parks if your not gonna ride the rides.

The thing that used to piss me off was when one of my friends would actually get an attitude because I didn't want to get on the roller coaster. We defintely was about to fight inside the park-lol

I've had a yelling match in the movies one time

RustyShackleford · 07-16-2006, 04:13 PM

I rode one only one time and that was The Titan at Six Flags Over Texas, and this was last summer people says its fun, um not for me it was scary and it made my arms numb after I got off, so never again

Sharop · 07-16-2006, 04:55 PM

I don't mind the gentler ones.

But the really fast, quite terrifying ones - I don't think I'd like to ride them.

dawsongirl · 07-16-2006, 11:23 PM

I'll never get on one. I hate shocks like that.

swedeace · 07-16-2006, 11:35 PM

I don't do rides. Period. I used to ride a couple of them when I was younger at our annual state fair. Not anymore.

Number 9 Dream · 07-16-2006, 11:45 PM

Oh, psshht. The Predator is nothing. Superman's first drop, now THAT'S insane. The Predator just hurts, which is why I won't get on it anymore - especially after last summer, sitting in the last car with a sunburn!

Also, I hate how the first drop of The Viper fakes you out... you go down that little dip, and it's fine, and then that HUGE drop just comes out of NOWHERE... Oh, and The Boomerang... going backward up that first hill is like HELL. I always feel like the bar is gonna slide off and I'm gonna fall out.

Yeah, I'm a big frequenter of Darien Lake

Roller coasters scare the heck of me but it's a fun scare. The worst part for me is the slow climb to the top before the drop.

I've seen you on the boards for a while, I didn't know you live sort of nearby to me. I used to go to Darien Lake every year, but I haven't been in almost 10 years. I hadn't been on the Superman ride, The Viper is nothing, but that damn Predator! It shakes too. I went out there when the ride was new back in 1990. The line was so long.
