Are/Were you scared to ride TTD?

If you've ridden TTD, were you scared to ride it before getting on? If you haven't ridden TTD, are you currently or are you going to be scared to ride it? I haven't ridden it yet (but I will), but here's my answer. For me, it's no sweat. Yeah, it looks intimidating, but I know I will hop in line without hesitation. Roller coasters get your adrenaline pumping, and that's what I need. Your answers?

It's esier to said then done. I thought I wouldn't be scared at all. Throughout the line I was fine, well I thought I was fine, untill I went to buckle my seatbelt and I kept missing it because my hand was shaking. Then I started to get scared when my train started to move. Then I got really scared when the train in front of me launched. Then it was my turn and I got really really scared. The anticipation was so great that it seemed like forever waiting for the launch. Then the brake fins dropped and the countdown lights started and it turned green. We were gone! After that it's just really fun.

I wasn't scared at all. I was actually pumped up when I pulled up to the launch area. I was too bored to be scared while in line, and 3.5 hrs of watching the trains go by makes you realize that it's no big deal. However, it was the best ride that I have ever been on, and it was very exciting. There is no reason to be scared at all! Sit back and enjoy the ride :)

I was not scared at all. I was pumped to ride the thing when I got in the train. There was a small bit of anxiety, but not much while waiting for the launch because I didn't know what to expect.

quit screaming TTD_Freek!

Preparing for Daddy 101 again!!

No.

I was really nervous, and really anxious, but not scared...

If I was scared, it was drowned out by the months of anticipation finally released in that mad dash on opening day. Although I was really excited and knew it was going to be awesome, I have to admit I was just a wee bit nervous when I heard those brake fins go down.

it aint the size of the arrow, its what you do with the bow....

Waiting in line, I wasn't scared at all, I was excited. I wasn't scared waiting in the station, I was really excited. When I sat down in the seat and buckled my belt, I was scared. I had not been that scared since my ride on Big Shot in Las Vegas. Just looking down that runway knowing that in a few short seconds I will be blasting up that tower... When those lights turned yellow, I was about to cry. Once we launched, however, I was loving every second of it.

I love coasters as much, if not more than, the next guy. But for some reason, I'm always terrified of them the first time! And I mean terrified, last summer it took me about 5 weeks to get up the courage to ride Millenium, and I was in the park almost every day. In the end my roommate had to practically hold me down and strap me in. I was so scared when we left the station - by the bottom of the first hill I had my hands up!

This year I plan on going on it at the start of the summer, last year I wasted 5 weeks of Millie riding time, this summer will not be the same with TTD, but I will be the one next week absolutely terrified, but strapping myself in and looking ecstatic when I get off the ride!

Man, I don't think you will find too many people that post here afraid of any coaster. I couldn't wait for Opening Day to get on that beast. I was so pumped up the whole in line! Great ride.

Truth be told, I don't know what there is to fear when talking about roller coasters. I tend to fear things that are dangerous. Roller coasters don't fall into that grouping for me. I could maybe understand you being afraid that something bad could happen on the drive to Cedar Point, but whatever...

I wasen't scared to ride it, I would never hesitate to ride TTD. It's more less the adrenalin pump that fills your body that makes you go NUTS while you wait in line and espically before the launch.
NUTS defined like jumping around, swinging off the queue poles, lol, breathing hard through your cheeks, heart pumping etc.
AHHH I love it :)

You bet your ass I was scared! I wasn't scared until the gates opened up and it was our turn to get in. Then the butterflies started going crazy in my stomach. I will be scared next time, too!

When I was in line I was like eh just another coaster but then as I got closer to the station I was getting excited and anxious to ride and the adrenalin starts pumping. I had more fun listening to my riding partner who was scared out of her mind. As soon as the train started moving out of the station she was like oh crap! oh crap! It was also great the people we met in the line. They were great for getting our minds off the ride.

I was forcing myself to be scared in line, to get my adrelanine (sp?) pumping. Once I got into the station, I completely forgot about how scared I was. I hadn't thought about what I was getting myself into when I buckling the seatbelt and pulled up the T-bar. Justing doing my normal thing until the train in front of us headed out where we couldn't see it going (though I had known since January, I wasn't thinking about it!). The we started to move, and that's when I realized I would be on the tallest, fastest, craziest coaster on the planet. Looking at the awe of faces of the people in the overflow queue just 3 feet away from me realized that I should be more scared than they were because they weren't even on the ride!

And the rest, is history.

You bet I was. I was having the same Millenium Force issues as Scottish Lou last season. I still have reservations for MF each time I start up that first hill. But I'm screaming with joy on the way down. I was all excited to ride Dragster on Opening Day, but I was scared to death as we got strapped in and headed to the launch. Since we were in the very back seat (which rules, by the way) we couldn't see fins moving. One millisecond we were just sitting there, the next millisecond we were twisting up the hill. But I love every second of my second favorite coaster. I still get a bit nervous when waiting to launch. But that's half of the fun.

Awww, bad day? Take a different perspective on things. Try upside down, a barrel roll, a cobra roll or a corkscrew. Life can't be all that bad when your feet are over your head!

I was just plain excited, but not scared, for much of the wait. The last few minutes in line are awesome as you ascend the ramp into the station and stand very close to the returning trains full of excited and breathless people.

Once I entered the station and was assigned a line by the ride hostess, everything changed and I was really scared. We were next to load when TTD broke down. We waited 1 3/4 hours, so the anxiety subsided. But once Ride Ops pulled two more dragsters into the station and announced we were loading, all that nervousness returned. The "stapling procedure" convinced me this was no ordinary ride. By this time, the rest of our group who had decided not to ride had assembled in the midway right next to the launch. They were asking if we were nervous, taking pictures of us and generally teasing us about how anxious we must have looked. My overwhelming thought: "How did I EVER get myself into this this? Have I lost all sense of good judgment?"

After an eternity--probably 60 seconds--we rolled 6 inches backwards and knew this was going to happen. Most intense 17 seconds of my life. I had good judgment all right, I had just successfully challenged the most intense coaster experience of my life. I was smiling, laughing, and carrying-on for at least the next two hours. Being scared made conquering TTD that much better.

I was scared and excited.

I've ridden it 3 times. the first time, i was INSANELY scared when waiting to be launched, but once I was launched, that fear was gone, replaced by a pure rush. the second time I wasen't scared, i even turned around at the top to look around. the third time, i rode front seat, and was just as scared as the first! seriously, if you are only going to ride it once, take the extra 20 minutes after having stood in line for well over an hour to get the front, it is worth it!
