 |  Just got home from Six Flags...
And my brain hurts from being squished to the back of my head from so much rollercoaster riding.. But I had fun anyway. :P Anyone else like theme park rides and plan on going to an amusement park this summer? Last edited by Zach; 06-15-2007 at 04:41 AM. |

Six flags rocks!! I went last year, from open to close, we got in only about eight or nine coasters (about a third of the park), and soooo close to vomming.... Great fun!! Fav ride: X-treme (coaster cars that rotate on the x axis too)

I agree that rollercoasters rule. Fav. Ride = Raging Bull (Hypertwisting Rollercoaster at Six Flags Great America)

Actually, I somehow always psyche myself out and get really anxious around roller coasters. My palms get sweaty, like now, just thinking about the ride, and I freak out. Once I'm on the roller coaster, I'm fine, though. For some reason, I can never seem to convince myself, "Don't worry! Millions of people go on these rides every day. What are you worried about?" I love "Batman: The Ride" and have no problem with it, strangely enough. I think it is a problem with control. When someone else is driving my car, I notice that I tend to get nervous that they aren't stopping soon enough at a light or noticing cars I notice on the road. Perhaps rollercoasters are the extreme form of "I'm not in control of this ride!" I get nervous on airplanes, too. My hands get sweaty when I think about jumping out of an airplane. I figure some day that will have to be something I do to conquer that fear. I have wondered if I was piloting a plane if I would have such nervousness. Maybe my problem is that I don't like that someone else is responsible for me?
