Anyone else terrified?

I have a problem with judging with pictures... I gotta see the thing in person. So when I get to the Point in May or June, I'll have one of these two reactions:
1) Eh, I've been on Millennium Force, I can beat this!
2) *$&%!!!

"Yes. The Force is strong in that one."

For those of you curious:

Impulse 1.0 - Linear Gale
No holding brake, no front twist

Impulse 2.0 - Superman: UE, VV
Front twist, holding brake on back in same size

Impulse 2.1 - Double twist, angled; height limit slapdown

Impulse 3.0 - Wicked Twister

Just to let you know, Vertical Velocity at SFMW has yet to have any announcements made reguarding its redesign, so anything could happen ;)

I rode S:UE last year and the scariest part to me was the anticipation of the launch (Reminded me of Batman/Robin @ SFGrtAdv & FOF @ PKI) S:UE was great! (we sat in the middle thanks to my chicken b/f who even wanted to ditch 2 seconds before we launched! :)) After seeing WT in person and standing under the rear tower looking straight up I thought "wow-this thing is gonna kick!" I know I for one CAN'T wait to ride! :)

If you're willing to ride WT at 215ft. with vertical twisting towers, why not ride PT with 240ft. straight towers, Jo...? :)

OK CP_bound just not going to let me forget about my dodging good old PT, huh? OK-well WT doesn't go all the way to the top of the towers nor will it fall or shoot "straight" down or up like PT. Yes I'm scard to death of PT I admit it!!! I do however plan on dragging my best friend on PT during CM only cause she's as scard of it as me!
Yikes! :)

I want to be there to see that! :) I get the feeling like I shouldn't be up there that high waiting for it to drop, but not to the point that I wouldn't ride it. Just remember, it's controlled terror...you don't even have to open your eyes...but that takes away from the "fun" doesn't it? ;)

I'm not scared at all, the extra height just makes me more excited to ride the thing!
-----------------
Power Tower is nothing I used to be so afraid of that ride untill I forced my self to ride it it was not scary and it was also dang fun it is my favorite non-coaster ride at Cedar point.
Sure they say pictures are worth a thousand words, but these webcam pictures are not telling the whole story of how big this thing really will be. Remember, its taller than Magnum! Unless you've been there on site watching this whole ride unfold, you can't even possibly imagine the true immense size of this thing. I can't wait to see it up close...and then ride it!
I went on PT for the first time in 2000, my first year i worked at cedar point.  I went on the drop side and wow i was scared(sorry pugs heheh) but now i can do both without a problem.. I never been on a ride like wicked twister but i think i will get used to it...since i be test riding it all the time hehehe

Terrified? Ever since Power Tower I have lost the meaning of the word.

I know The Superman at Six Flags Ohio wobbles on the twisty side when that ride is going,thats a little scary to see that.

-----------------
At the turn of the Millenium......there were signs...

But also I cant wait to ride Wicked Twister

It looks like alot of fun and I want to try it.

But I am running to Millenium Force first!

...And in the back seat. I think that's going to be the money seat. You know how on the "old" Impulses you head toward the ground face first in the back seat? Now imagine twisting while you do that, partially involved with the supports!

That gonna be awsome! I cant wait!
