well for me, I have been terrified of coasters and all of the extreme thrill rides up until last year. I was just like, you know what, all my life i have been terrified to ride all of these rides, mainly cause of that feeling you get in the stomach, I couldnt stand it what so ever but figured if I ride the rides enough that feeling would go away. so to start off I ended up getting on top gun, loved it, then went to fof and Vortex...and this year (since i didnt get time last year to ride it) Firehawk. i was so nervous to ride that and once I rode it i was like that was it??? that wasnt bad at all what so ever. I even forced myself to get on Diamondback at the first chance i got and rode it two times and loved it....it still makes me nervous cause im terrified of heights but love it. the only thing i dont do is wooden coasters cause they kill my back...but everything else except for face off/Invertigo, i have ridden and loved. I havent had the chance yet to ride face off...but that will prolly change sometime this year...but i wont try drop zone, skyflyer and slingshot mainly cause i hate the feeling of falling...for some reason it seems a little different on coasters and doesnt bother me which i dont quite understand but oh well lol..so yea, I have been a coaster junkie since last year now i pretty much just say bring it on and i will try it...kind of suprising to take such a huge leap in just a year for me but hey, at least im not afraid anymore
