    Fair rides like carnival rides? Yeah sorry. Anything that can be set up and torn down by someone with a 3rd grade education and no teeth is NOT something I'd ever ride!

    Oh please. They usually only don't have teeth because they smoke too much crack.

    Don't be so judgmental. Everyone knows crackheads are totally safe.

    I used to love those, but cannot do large doses of spinning rides anymore. They give me motion sickness :frown:. I still ride roller coasters though and love them! I go to the amusement park about 1-3 times a year.

    Maybe my boyfriend & I are just insane... but...

    Magnum is tame... its actually an attraction at our kiddie carnival here in Miami, Santa's Enchanted Forest which runs the holiday season... we go every year... our 3& 4yr old enjoy the rides...

    Superman at 6Flags NE was a "thrill" ride, at least the first 15 seconds... ok, maybe the second loop. 221 feet at 77mph. Its alright ;)

    First rollercoaster I ever went on... I was 5 and they put me on the Corkscrew. If you've never been to Rhode Island, its THIS:

    344rr4i.jpg

    Yes, I did that at FIVE YEARS OLD. 64 foot drop and three sprial loops. We rode it about 12 times in a row.

    Sooooo maybe this is why we took our 3 & 4yr olds skydiving with us last May? Probably.

    I guess my perception of "thrill" is somewhat distorted.

    For my birthday last June I went swimming with sharks the second day of my period. Hahhahaa.

    OMG R.I.P. Rocky Point! I practically grew up there! :heart:
    Did you know they moved the corkscrew to Canobie Lake Park in New Hampshire and painted it yellow? I went on it this summer. Brought back childhood memories!
    I love roller coasters but cannot do any of the little "spinny" rides. I will puke on you.

    Yeah, teeth or not teeth...I don't do rides that are put up and taken down in less than a day. I'm okay with amusement parks, but not traveling things.

    I have no best moments, but had some really awesome days at Canada's Wonderland with friends in high school. Worst moment was before I realized I wasn't comfortable with the whole traveling carnival thing. It involved stepping over the large puddle of vomit to get off the spinny ride. Wouldn't phase most people probably but it spazzed me out, since I was emetophobic but just didn't realize what was wrong with me yet. It triggered a whole night and some of anxiety, but I didn't know why. Stupid, eh? Well, I've done therapy and I'm much better now....but still not going to the carnival, just in case. lol

    The Magnum is tame, don't get the idea that I am a wimp.

    Ride that 12 times in a row like I did and we will be set :)

    365 ft into the air on bungee cords haha and those huge towers move

    Lol I am sure most of us would do it! I love all rides!

    My BFF and I rode the Gravitron thing at a little carnival about 12 times in a row. I'm happy to say I didnt puke---her on the other hand :sick:

    My favorite roller coaster has to be the volcano at King's Dominion, VA--love blasting out of it at 65+ miles an hour!!

    That is the ride I am talking about

    Hmm I rode something like this in WV. The entire platform extends out and spins violently fast, and then the round pods of seats also spin independently. I still felt like I was spinning for about an hour, and after awhile I ended up puking. Not to mention the little girls who were sitting in the other side of my pod, cursing like sailors.

    I've been on the Gravitron who knows how many times, and I never once puked. It made me a little dizzy a couple times, but it is really one of my favorites, brings back good memories.
