I was reading the online news and this was on there...
Just watching the video makes me feel sick. Look at those "seats"...they aren't even real seats...you're sitting on a park bench in mid air!! No way, no how. That looks like an accident waiting to happen to me.
What does everyone else think, do you look at that and think "oh hell no" or "woohoo...where's my ticket?"

Heck yes!
I'm afraid of heights but love roller coasters.
I hate going up that first hill and that would be what would terrify me.
The rest looks awesome!

I would be fine with it except for the long pause at the top of the hill. I love roller coasters, but can’t ride the Ferris wheel because of the time you are stopped on the top.
I will also say, I much prefer roller coasters that have some style. I like a story to go along with the ride.

Really? Serious question, are you scared when you are on these?...or do you like that feeling of being scared? If you are not 'scared' how would you describe the feeling? It's just so terrifying to me...like to the point where I honestly think I might die of fright (of course I probably wouldn't) but I'd avoid that feeling at all costs |

Aww I love roller coasters. I was just talking about that to someone yesterday. When I look at the rest of the people in line, I've got 40+ years on most of them. And then we try to get the front seats.

Heck no. I can do some mellow wooden type coasters but my days of big hills and all that are over.

I will also say, I much prefer roller coasters that have some style. I like a story to go along with the ride. Funny that I love roller coasters but I'm not crazy about ferris wheels. When I was a kid I would go on with my brother (6 years older than me). I guess because he really didn't want to be on it with his little sister--would rock the seat when we were stopped at the top. I didn't like that at all and the more I screamed, the more he rocked it! |

I'm not crazy about ferris wheels. I get sick from Ferris Wheels. The height doesn't bother me, but that same motion over and over and over....  |

I love spinning, if they would let me on last and off first I would be fine. I did ride the glass one in Seattle and that one was fine, I think because we were enclosed. I guess it is being open and high that scares me. |

Love roller coasters. My only hesitation about this ride is the loops. I don't do well on rides with too many loops and upside down twists because they get me dizzy.

Like haunted houses or corn mazes. You know those cameras that take pictures? I always look like I'm going to die or puke. I had friends that knew when they were coming up and they would yell smile! I looked terrible every time.  |

Quite similar to the Griffon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, which is AWESOME! So, I would ride it in a heartbeat. Front row. The dangle at the top is fun. The drop is exhilarating! There was only one coaster I didn’t care for...the Drachen Fire at BG. That thing was painful, because it was super fast in a tight space. ETA: m.youtube.com/watch?v=lWCvLuSUhCMA video from the front row of the Griffon. |

My bff will be first in line. He's a coaster enthusiast and the bigger and scarier the better. I will watch the video he sends me, because I don't go near roller coasters. I've been through more chicken exits than I can count.

In my old days and if I made the height requirements lol ('m 4'10 so some are 5''  I used to love it even as a heart patient but that never really stopped me till I got the pacers, and got smart LOL! But I used to live for the thrill for that very reason. We love Burt the Conquerer on the travel channel. I often say 20 yrs ago 'heck ya' lol! Now I would maybe do it and puke for two days!  |

I have never met a roller coaster I didn't love. I'd ride this in a heartbeat. Front seat? Even better. I just don't get that sick to my stomach feeling that other people do. They make me laugh.

For sure YES! It look so smooth. The pause at the top is the best part! What I am not quite sonsire about is the ride you see in the background that looks like swings but way up higher than I’ve ever seen before 😳
