I'm really looking forward to it, although we're leaving quite early (we have to be at school by 7 AM). I'm going to Six Flags Great Adventure, the one with crazy rides such as Kingda Ka, Superman flight thingy, and El Toro. Problem is...I have a fear of rollercoasters. So I was thinking of using this opportunity to overcome that fear but I wanted to start out slow. It seems as though the two slowest and seemingly-non-intense rollercoasters there are the Runaway Mine Train and Skull Mountain (38 mph and 33 mph top speeds respectively and not-crazy-high drops). If anybody's been on these, are they intense at all for someone who hesitates to go on any ride that seems more intense than bumper cars? Skull Mountain is an indoor coaster, so I don't know what that looks like...is it really bad because of the dark?
I'm really softcore when it comes to amusement parks but I kinda want to change that...I'm just a horrible chicken when it comes to rides. Any other suggestions for Great Adventure?
whoo I went on the Runaway Mine Train, which means I successfully overcame my irrational phobia.
ITT, what phobias have you overcome lately?
You'll be fine. :3
Just hop onto a rollercoaster with some friends. And it you get scared, close your eyes.
EL TORO EL TORO EL TORO EL TORO EL TORO EL TORO
And then when you're scared as poop
KINGDA KA KINGDA KA KINGDA KA KINGDA KA KINGDA KA KINGDA KA KINGDA KA
So, um, yeah. Start with something basic. I'm trying to think of a basic ride. El Toro has no loops it just goes around I think 60 MPH :P
American scream machine(I think that was it) was my first roller coaster.....If you take that, everything ells will be easy(I was going to take Kinda Ka but it wasn't running when I was there)

Great, but I'm currently hesitant on going on the Family Fun Coaster at my sorta-local amusement park. That thing has a hill of about 7 feet and doesn't go faster than 10 mph, olol.
I'm not ready for a big one like that ;_;

think older, but I'm dropping it here. I don't know if I want Lotos actually stalking me D:
Sweet. I went there at the beginning of this month, and it was really fun. The line for Kingda is really long, but worth every second of it. Also, El Toro is very good. Have fun there!
Just remember to let your food digest for a half an hour before getting on any rides. Especially that UFO ride that spins you super fast where you can barely lift your body up. It causes crazy dizziness. I remember a time when someone got vomit all over somebody else. It was disgusting.
its ok you wont die just get seriously injured
I got to go there last friday for a Choir thing, and it was AWESOME! Although me and my friends only went on two roller coasters there (Great American Scream Machine and Runaway Mine Train) it was great. :D I woulld highly suggest Scream Machine, although it's got a lot of loops, it's not scary ^^. Runaway Mine Train is also a lot of fun, especially if you're not really into roller coasters
just a note, Twister is a lot of fun, but kinda scary >.>

My friend's dad said we would go on a simple one first....I said ok.....We got on line(there was no line though) and then I saw what roller coaster we were going on....Just tell yourself Its not the one with the loops...
Tip: Eat supper 5-10 min. before going on a coaster, then aim for the mascot. >:D :D Or castodians, that works too.
Woah, I went today O_O.
the whole senior class at our high school went today also too as well!
mmm so now it's past tense.
What fun...there were a ton of schools there.

I made a big step by actually going on a rollercoaster, period. I saw that thing looming in the background while on the Runaway Mine Train and I was liek "at least I'm not going up THAT high".
:P
