i went a couple of weeks ago as a field trip. its "Physics Day" which means we go on all the rides and do whatever we want in the guise of education. they do it the day before SATs, which is quite relaxing. I had never been to the park before...awesome coasters.
nitro is the greatest ride. superman is pretty damn freaky cause of the position you are in. but nitro is always always a great ride.
viper is one of the most painful rides i have ever been on in my life cause of the way it throws your head around. medusa is a good ride. but it always gav eme a headache so i could only handle it once. viper is usually the one we leave out.

I hate rides in general, I have problems/issues with heights.
the whole point of the rides is to play off your fear of heights. It's called excitement.
I have a deathly fear of heights. When I went to the CN tower, I told my friends that if they even touch me while I'm near the glass floor, I'd punch them the fuck out. I can't walknear the edges of rooftops. Just the other day, I was on a ladder , climbing up 20 feet, and clung for dear life after five feet.
But, when you're in a safety harness, that has passed the toughest amusement device restrictions in the country, riding on a machine that has been designed perfectly by multi million dollar engineering firms, and the only way to be killed can be linked to serious mental disability on your own part, you can let your fears run wild knowing in the back of your mind that the chances of you being hurt are practically nil..
if you werent afrair of heights, then you would have a real reason to not go to amusement parks. My brother jumped out of airplanes when he was in the army. Now, no ride is exicting to him.
