Have you ever been scared of going on a coaster?

Have you?[?]

I was 9 when I went on Millennium Force. 300 feet is very high for being such a small kid. In the end the ride was a huge turn-off so I've gotten over myself...

I'm pretty sure that is the point

i was 8 when i rode Millennium Force back in 2000. i don't i could get more excited and less frightened!!!

I used to be scared of going on nearly everything...Hulk, Dueling Dragons, Kumba, Montu...but now I'm better, thank God. I still get the occasional butterflies in my stomach (Griffon), but I'll ride anything.

i used to be scared to death to go upside down, till when i was about 9 i rode sooperdooperlooper. i had no problem with height or stuff like Comet or Wildcat at hershey, just the loops. Since then i've gotten on anything i could.

yeah I used to be scared to death until i was 11, then i rode Rock'n'rollercoaster, followed by a rolling fear of Nitro that lasted a few years.

No problems today.

I was scared when i was like 7, but now all i get scared on are extreme launched coasters (AKA Hypersonic), or rides like griffon.

First coaster i thought i was going to die.
Second time round i was 100 percent confident.
Never been scared on one since.
I wish i was though, seriously.

Hmm I was afraid of TTD until this year.

I was afraid of Space Mountain(yeah, wow...) when I was 6 and Storm Runner when I was 9...

I rode my first coaster at age 6...a racing coaster at Euclid Beach Park. It was a very mild ride without any stomach wrenching dips.

I didn't ride a "big" coaster until I was 12. It was the BIG Dipper at Geauga Lake. I rode it to avoid intimidation. I refused to have the shortest girl in my class make me look like an idiot. She combed her hair straight-up to make herself look taller and they let her on!

Until that day, I had to see an entire ride from one vantage point, beginning to end. There was nothing more terrifying than seeing a full coaster disappear over a hill, listening to the screams and track noise, and not knowing what happen to the riders. (duh, LOL) I also wouldn't ride anything that went upside. Eventually, I rode the Rock-O-Planes.

When I was like 9 I went on dominator(the green tower) at Dorney Park and let's just say I was shaking the whole ride[peakhill]. My first big coaster was comet at Hersheypark you woult belive how high&loud I shrieked[lol].Im still afraid of all launched coasters[:(]

Scared/I'm 54 and was never more scared than 2 weeks ago/think 200ft up...floorless coaster...trains out of sync...coaster emerg locks...walking down from 200ft on an open-grate stairway and a single rail on one side...screaming, crying kids...both of them...that's right, guys...sheikra at busch gardens tampa bay...evacuation from the top of first drop/may never go on that ride again/they have had 5 evac's since the trains went floorless this june and we were the first from the top/my kids may never get on that ride again

i'v never been scared to ride anything... launch coasters like xcelerator or ttd get me kinda nervous but i wont back down from any coaster or ride [:D]

i got to ride corkscrew at knott's when it was brand new.. i was 6. i was freaked out by it, but i did fine once it started..
i'd love to walk those stairs, mdog.

All the time!

7 or 8 years old- kumba, just couldn't ride it for some reason, but its really what started my love for coasters. The turns, elements, pacing, forces, everything, it was just the best thing ever i thought, and was my favorite coaster for a very long time.

Scared? No. Nervous? Yes.

Ideally you should NOT be scared. Whats to be scared of? Your chances of dieing or even being hurt are in the billions. Youve got a better chance being in a car accident like 10 times between your house and the park. You are going no where - so the fear is in your head.

Everyone has been scared on their first coaster because you were young and stupid. Anyone who voted "no" is a damned liar.

^its valid if you cant remember your first coaster. Plus I know a few kids who went on their first one and RAN into line and while maybe they had some, showed no fear. Some kids are young and stupid and cant comprehend the possible bad outcomes as well.

I was terrified my first ride on Mindbender, while 145 feet may seem small, I live in Western Canada, and I don't have much confrontation with coasters.

I was scared at first before goin' on my first.
My first was Santa Cruz's Giant Dipper and after i went on it for the first time i went back in line and rode it again.
This all happened abou when i was 10

i've never been scared. honestly, imean, X was a little frightening, but no coaster has ever scared me b4
