Either first time on TTD, or leaning your head back as far as you can at the top of Skyhawk. Of course I also found it a bit thrilling when my harness loosened after the loop on Raptor, causing my legs (I was very skinny at the time) to be thrown to the side in the twist. One of my legs was hanging out at an angle from the side of the train. It felt that my foot was amazingly close to the supports. All went back to normal at the next inversion though.
Seeing that human sling shot video makes me wonder if I'm the only Cedar Point/coaster fanatic that will never do the Rip Cord. I love the thrills of the coasters but the thought of that ride is terrifying to me. Anybody else with me on that one?
Wait a minute... TTD 120, you went on a ride OTHER than Dragster? :)
Most insane thrill: Big Shot at Stratosphere
Most insane roller coaster: Voyage at Holiday World
Most insane thrill at Cedar Point: Skyhawk
I say Skyhawk because you face straight down, with the feeling you are going to fall out, and have only a lap bar. On Dragster and Millennium you face nearly straight down with only a lab bar, but for some reason Skyhawk seems worse to me.

Not here. I went on Ripcord last June and loved it. I'd like to do it again this summer. It provides a thrill that none of the rides have.
The ride that scares me the most in Demon Drop. I hate inching forward waiting to drop. Power Tower drop side is thrilling and I love it, but Demon Drop gives me butterflies all the way up.
We'll miss you MrScott and Pete
I'd say that no ride has duplicated the feeling I had while bungee jumping. But, Dragster's launch is the closest thing to that. Although, I didn't think I had a chance of dying on Dragster.
I had a bad landing in an airplane last month that was somewhere between thrilling and scared sh**less. When we hit the tarmac the whole plane "skipped" to the right which had me grabbing for anything I could get my hands on. I can't believe we didn't just tumble right off the runway.

Ripcord, TTD, and Whitewater Rafting in West Virginia are 3 of the most thrilling things i've done...
But my number 1 is still Turbo Drop on PT. Especially if you put your arms and legs straight out, and look straight down at the ground while waiting for it to drop... It's the only ride at CP that still gives me butterfiles...

The only ride that truly scares me at CP is Power Tower, the down side only. I don't mind the height, and I don't mind the drop; it's the waiting at the top, not knowing when it's coming that gets me. It seems like they use to drop on the count of ten, but the last few years I've ridden it, the time has varied. I think it's mostly the feeling of not having any control that bothers me. I even used to skydive (many moons ago), so you'd think it wouldn't be a big thing. I'll still ride it if somebody else wants to go on, but not otherwise.
