Before they changed it, Snoopy Bounce. I find inflatables in general to be pretty terrifying.
Apparently someone at Cedar Fair did, too, so the attraction was changed from a giant inflatable poised to go sailing down the midway to a rigid structure with a bounce cushion inside.

Maybe, but I've always thought it's much more likely kids to get injured by cracking their skulls together than for a bounce house to go sailing. I am absolutely not in favor of getting rid of it, but with the ultra-conservative safety CF promotes (and the weird dichotomy that exists between say them and Disney World), I'm surprised it's still there.
I concur with respect to Windseeker. It always makes me the most nervous, particularly the inside seat. And it doesn't help if you look up the tower as you go up. I find the CP Windseeker to be more tense than the one at Carowinds. On the latter, when at the top of the tower, the operator announces "You are at 300ft. Let me hear you make some noise."

I absolutely hate the Wave Swinger. I feel like one of the chains will break or the little bar will slip off.
I also hate that thing with a passion. I've always hated them even at other parks. Wave Swinger is why I won't ride Wind Seeker. If I can't handle the baby version the same thing a couple hundred feet in the air is just an anxiety attack waiting to happen. No thank you, I'll pass.
Windseeker... but I think that is because of the unreliability it has demonstrated. I do think the evac would be interesting as hell though.
Power Tower... the drop side really skeeves me. I enjoy it but yeah I'm thinking too much while on it.
Dragster is a funny one. What is so intriguing to me is that I find myself thinking about the launch, which is the shortest element of the ride. 2 seconds and its over, or that's what she said. But you gear yourself up to be launched to 120 mph and it's over, and then you relax for a split second, and then realize you are about to go rocketing up and down 420 ft at a 90 degree angle... what a rush.
But the ride that scares me the most is Jr. Gemini (I still call the baseball stadium in Cleveland Jacob's Field so deal with it). I haven't been on that in over 30 years, and I'm afraid I'm gonna get turned away if I try to ride it, or get to meet Chris Hansen and be subjected to an "interview".

I am terrified on Iron Dragon, I always am fearful that the lift-hill chain will snap. Another one is Raptor, those gates always appear as though they will shut right as I attempt to pass through. Whenever I ride Skyhawk, I am afraid that a cable may snap loose. My real fear is that I will be stuck at the top of Giant Wheel and have to climb down (like in the movies).
