That’s just crazy.
I had a phase where I was a complete roller coaster nerd. I knew all the stats about basically every ride in the country. I’ve been to a bunch of different parks and have ridden over 50 roller coasters that I can remember.
That (obviously) should have never happened.
It would be a great time to throw up.

I’m trying to get some of my buddies to take a weekend trip to Kings Island at the end of July. We might go to a Reds game too.
Big fan of Kings Island. I haven’t been back there since Orion opened, so I’d like to go on that.

No freaking way!!
When that ride was known as “Mean Streak”… I wanted to make it the world’s largest bon fire.
So rough…… instant headache and backache.
My favorite coaster at Cedar Point is Millennium Force…
though I have been since a few newer ones were built.
They also used to have a “ride” called Vertigo… that held only 6 people. It had 3 tall poles that slung a “pod” type of seating group up by cables…. and you could have the seat flip you upside down at the top…… held in by a harness…. and experience a few seconds of free fall before the harness caught your weight. It was amazing!
.
They rebuilt a lot of it when RMC rennovated it. The layout is much better and I think it’s a lot smoother. It’s taller, faster, has inversions, and has the most airtime of any roller coaster in the world to this day.
Roller coasters have never been my thing, the only one I think I ever went on was at Boblo.
I wonder if there is something sexual in it. Maybe Bols knows. The feeling of a loss of control… I had a girlfriend say that once and I was like, yeah well you’re a diplomat in the country in which I am a tourist. I’m going not going to play that with you.
I do think it’s more about adrenaline. Probably. I have a fear of heights, exacerbated by falling off a garage roof at night head first.

All I know is that roller coasters suck and Im not getting on one.
Unless I’m having sex on it.

The Tilt a Whirl was more my speed. And a girl threw up on me on that one.
I did something really stupid once, despite my fear of heights. I was on a yoga retreat in Costa Rica and was the only dude in the bunch (that part was great). We went on an excursion to a nearby waterfall and the guy leading it was like, okay, who wants to climb up with me? Literally up the face of a rushing waterfall. I said, okay, sure. This is why men have a shorter life expectancy than women. I get up about forty feet, a lot under a serious waterfall. And then jumped off into the pool below. I had no health insurance coverage. And now that waterfall has outlawed climbing up and jumping off after a fatality.
The waterfall in question. I got to the third tier. Idiot. The guide literally told me where to do every step and what to grab etc. all the way. But one slip and… dead.

Im not really scared of heights. I have done all kinds of crap while being way up in the air.
I think its the motion that gets me. I rode shivering timbers at Michigan adventure way back in the day, and threw up on a whole bunch of people. I have never been so embarrassed in all my life.
The first and only time I rode one of those damn things.

Oldest son did something similar – a bridge instead of waterfall. He and a few friends were in a “chicken” contest with kids from other high schools, and the jumps would get more and more daring. Until someone died, and the bridge was closed. The name of the town was High Bridge, NJ. I knew nothing about it until he showed it to me one day on a hike.
