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.

FORNICATION BABY!

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

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 ;_;

Wasn't that at the one in St. Louis?

Some guy also died there while fixing the roller coaster.
