The Vortex and the Beast.........Kings Island

I was on those but I think the Son of Beast is much crazier I went on that and it actually HURT me! I was crazy enough to go on it once, but never will again. The Beast I can handle one time per visit

I won't ride any of them, since my daughter was born 20 years ago, my equilibrium changed...........I can't ride anything that spins or drops rapidly.......I used to ride the meanest rides out there, not any more. I get too dizzy!

You know how to fix that don't you, Ginger? Ginger. It soothes the stomach.

Not queezy, dizzy, my blood pressure rises too much............. but I never tried canabalism, who is this other Ginger your suggesting? Sorry I don't eat people, well.........husband count??, I'll shut up now

The Ginger I'm referring to is from the Ginger plant. They sell it in pill form for nausea.

Did not know it was in pill form....... I thought you were talking about the spice. Tried to make a joke, apparently I bombed, nothing new! You guys are the comedians! Wish I could get my husband on the site, he's the funny one!

There are a lot I can't ride anymore either, mainly rides that spin! I get so sick on those! I can do coasters though,as long as they aren't rough. They can be huge, fast, and have lots of loops, but they have to be smooth or they kill my back. I can remember as a kid going on ANYTHING! The coaters at Disney and Univeral here are much smoother than Kings Island and the Six Flags parks I have found. Maybe it's the wooden coasters like the Beast that kill me from all the shaking!! Sucks getting older I guess

I love Disney's and Universal's here. I love roller coasters, I will scream bloody murder (as your ears well know ) but I love them!

Melissa, you ever see a freshly wiped booger on the headseat in front of you on a coaster? I was probably there...

There is a ride at Six Flags in Dallas, I can't remember the name of it, but
the ride takes you straight up so many stories and then drops you straight down, curves you
around and you end up on your back.
When my youngest daughter was two we stood in line with some friends who were going to ride~ just
to chat. When it was their turn we tried to walk away and they wouldn't let us leave. I told them my child
was too small for this ride, but they didn't care we were there and we had to get on. I was freaking out!!!
When I get nervous I giggle uncontrollably, Jordan thought we were having fun....WE were not.
I just knew she would be traumatized for life. This was her the whole way down.. giggle, giggle
This was me.... uncontrollably. When we landed, they had to literally pick me up out of that car and
place me on a bench, my legs were noodles and I was shaking from head to toe.
I do love roller-coasters, though....I just can't get off of them!!!

Gross! Not yet, lol. I can imagine that coming loose and smacking someone in the face at 65 mph

My best friend got locked in the roller coaster because her seat bar wouldn't release. They kept trying to unlock it every time it came through again. She rode 5 times in a row before they could get her out. She was totally white as a sheet and had wet her pants by the time she got off. We had to take her to the bathroom and wash her clothes for her, poor thing. Good times.

I think all males are born fascinated with snot, and for some it just carries over into adulthood, lol. I just happen to think it's funny that's all, lol.

I have a story about snot on a roller coaster! This one time in high school, the friend I was with got in the seat and went to pull the shoulder harness down. She reaches up, grabs the bar, pulls it down, and finds her hand right smack in a HUGE wiggly yellow loogie. I laughed my ass off.

Enjoy breakfast, people.

My darkest nightmare! Note to self, let Dan ride with Tony on the rollercoaster. I will watch and wave!

Any roller coaster that is mounted on the top of a very high building is simply insane.
