I voted on behalf of my 11 year old son, who LOVES roller coasters. He's smart about trying an incrementally scarier coaster each summer, so he's not like "insanely" courageous or anything, but he does love them and is less afraid of them than most of his NT friends.

I love roller coasters. I used to try to go to Hershey Park on the less popular days so I could ride the less popular coasters over and over again without having to wait in line. I wish I could have one in my backyard.

Zip lines are fun too. Anyone else like them?

I used to love rollercoasters. Probably still would, but I prefer water rapid rides now.

I love roller coasters. When I was younger I was riding the looping kind with 6 inches between my lap & the bar, now they have all kinds of 'support' features that really take away from the thrill. In recent years my fears of crowds have increased & a nasty car accident damaged my jaw, my permanent injury can't take the pressure anymore. Ride one for me sometime guys.

Roller coasters are the absolute best! King's Island has some really fun ones if anyone ever visits the midwest.

I do like them, but they tend to make me feel sick.

I find this too.
I have been on so many roller coasters that they all just lost their thrill. Last time I went on a roller coaster I asked my cousin who was next to me if he thought it was boring whilst we were riding it :lol:

My favorite King's Island roller coaster is The Beast. It's especially awesome in the dark. :D

I do pretty well on regular roller coasters, but inverted ones make me nauseous.

The Beast is the best! I always make sure to get a front-row seat on it! I have yet to ride the Son of Beast, though. The lines are always too long!

Yeah, the time that I got to ride it in the dark I waited for the front seat...it was amazing! I used to live in Indiana so I've been to King's Island quite a few times.

I hate them. They scare the crap out of me.
