When I was 13 or so, I rode the Beast in the very last seat...I had ridden it many many times before, but I had the worst ride in the world. Worse than any Son of Beast ride; I could hardly breathe when I got back in the station it rattled me that badly.

I didn't ride it until they retracked it in 2007 haha. It was seriously that bad.


Demon Drop would make me nervous...you can see through the floor! And it's soo...rickety?

[hydraWhich came first the turtle or the donkey?]

Most Intamin drop towers. Especially Acrophobia at SFOG.

[donkeyman18A zonkey is a cross between a zebra and a donkey.]

Skyscreamer Freaked me out was a lot of fun though.

[MayTheGForceBeWithYouStar Wars is gay.]

^^^First generation towers are quite unnerving.

Desperado at Buffalo Bills. I was only 7 and my parents drove 2 or 3 hours into the desert outside of Las Vegas just to ride it. I remember waiting in line and wanting absolutely no part of this ride. Somehow, my dad convinced me to ride it and it was the beginning of my roller coaster obsession.

I haven't ridden it since, but I know I have to some day!

I thought of this thread (or maybe just something similar) and wanted to share my experiences last night. There was a lightning storm at Cedar Point last night. It was making no sound, so my friend said it was heat lighting (which I really did not know what it was). It was windy, the rides were still running, and we decided to ride Magnum. The first ride, lightning flashed as we crested the lift hill (first row, last car, or third-to-last row), but the ride was otherwise normal aside from the lightning (which may have also flashed during the ride), and we didn't really give another thought. Running over the trims, we hardly heard anything besides a brief noise, indicating the trims were low or off. The airtime on the return seemed normal - my friend does not believe in the "ejector seat", and we tried it once, and the airtime was not that much better, but I wished I could get a ride there without trims. The ops let us stay on, but just as our train engaged the lift hill, there was a huge flash in the sky, and this time...

BANG!!!

Now, we realize this is a real, nearby thunderstorm that could fry us if we were closer. As we raced towards the turnaround, my friend compared it to a train to death. Lake Erie seemed to fade into a pitch-black horizon. That was one of the freakiest park experiences ever.

Would I be allowed to post this in the Cedar Point thread along with a mini-trip-report?

[Lone WandererWhat's with the donkeys anyway?]

The woodies at Kennywood, never had I hurt so much!

Ferris Wheels also freak me out. I get sweaty palms looking at coaster wheels like Wonder Wheel and DCA's (the name illudes me presently)...Up until this year, steep drops were another fear, but they do no more...

The only rides that still freak me out a little are drop rides. Still ride them every chance I get though.
