Any adult ride at CP you WILL NOT ride and why?

They must have shortened the belt on Wicked Twister. Back when it opened there was slack in the safety belt when it was buckled. I actually weigh less now but there is almost no slack in the belt when I ride now.

Interesting for the original poster, I have a student in my phobia group this fall whose fear revolves around the non-coaster rides (particularly Witch's Wheel). He will ride all the coasters, but does not "trust" the safety of the flat rides; new or old. This should be fun. :)

Mean Streak. Had back surgery a few years ago and that ride is too bumpy to enjoy.

You probably missed it, but I mentioned this on the previous page:

Dave, I've had a similar issue with Wicked Twister this year... The ride ops managed to get my belt fastened for me. When I mentioned my past history with the ride, he told me they had replaced the seat belts this year and the new ones were shorter.

I will only ride Mantis in the front row, corkscrew front, and mean streak front row :)

As for not at all riding, none so far, unless I get injured or something....

I also agree with chuck wagon about the midway carousel and the band organ :)

Power Tower's Turbo Drop side. I love Space Shot, but Turbo Drop gave me a major headache. There was way too much pressure pushing the car down the tower.

It's wierd, I don't normally like spinny rides but will always try one once, but something about Witches Wheel, just never did, even Chaos, I think I'm one of the few who loved that ride, and I never got sick on it, strange.

I won't ride spinning rides. They make me suck. Even wicked twister makes me feel a little sick.

Thats just disgusting. I didn't think a ride could do that to someone. ;)

I see a post edit in SSL448's future...

So does this solve Nature vs. Nurture?

Perhaps it activates his infantile sucking reflex.

I should edit the post.... but if it makes people laugh, I will leave it. LOL I should probably start reviewing my posts... It seems like this stuff only happens to me.

But just for the record, spinning rides do not make me suck anything, nor do they make me want to suck anything.

Coasterfanatic, you would be surprised at what rides can make people do... Is anyone aware of what happens to some women when they ride the slingshot ride?

My response for this topic is Disaster Transport. The ride is enjoyable except for the fact that it has very very tight leg space. I'm 5"7 and still have tight leg room. Crazy I know!

I think the only current ride at CP I've never ridden is the Monster. Not sure how much of an adult ride that is, though. It's not the ride itself that I dislike; it's the 15 minutes it seems to take to load any kind of spider ride, and considering I can ride one almost anywhere, it's not high on my CP priority list.

I'm also terrified of any kind of Skycoaster/Ripcord type ride, so I've never done that, but every year I try to coax myself into riding it with my brother and sister, who both say it is super fun but scary if only for the factor of having to pull your own ripcord and literally freefall. Other than that, I'm game for pretty much any ride - tall, fast, spinny, whatever!

I hate riding the monster, love watching it, love the way it looks, but feel sick everytime I ride it, which I haven't for like 5 years

I've heard... ;)

I take Dramamine a few hours before I go to any amusement park, fair, etc., It seems to work for me to fight that nauseous feeling I get when I ride spinny rides.

Well, since I have rode everything. I probably won't go on Mean Streak next year. It was faster, but it popped something in my back this year. Ouch!! MaxAir and Skyhawk really really got my heart going this year.

I've never ridden a coaster or thrill ride that's made me dizzy, sick, or ill (thankfully). No, there is ONE coaster in my entire lifetime that I've ever had a problem with...Mantis. After the first loop, there's this horrible sensation that initiates in my legs. It feels like all the blood in my legs is being dragged to my feet, the pressure is terrible. It's a shame, if it weren't for that I'm sure I would love Mantis.
