They actually hire people to sit in EVERY SINGLE SEAT on EVERY SINGLE RIDE to make sure that the experience is "enjoyable from every vantage point." Sounds like heaven to me! And one of the best coasters I've ever been on is the Hulk at Islands of Adventure at Universal in Orlando- no such anticipation climb and drop with that one; as you start climbing up through a strobe-lit tunnel, halfway up the coaster just ROCKETS forward and out and THEN over the drop and it is just so amazing. The ride lasts a good few minutes, too. Also, as far as rides go (not necessarily coasters, but general experiences) my favorite in the entire world is the Harry Potter And The Forbidden Journey ride through Hogwarts at HPWorld. Seriously worth it. So great. Guh. Butterbeer.

Though I'd love to go on some really scary ones!

I mean, you're "sitting" but it's on this little bicycle seat and they have straps that go around your ankles to lock you in and this really crappy lap belt thing where basically your entire upper half is free from restraints. It has like an 88 degree vertical drop and you get lifted out of your seat when you drop.<br /><br />It's terrifying and not in a good way either. I've only rode it once and I doubt I'll ever do it again.Paigeewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147262096880585294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333543700801168928.post-47838098198119010172011-07-30T23:30:28.894-05:002011-07-30T23:30:28.894-05:00Roller Coasters are sheer hell for me.

I hate having to just hold on for the ride and pray for death...or say the Litany Against Fear from 'Dune'.

I live an hour away from a theme park that has three of the world's top rated roller coasters, and I've been riding them since I was at least ten years old.<br /><br />I absolutely refused to go on any roller coaster that went upside down until we went to Sea World last year though. I'm so glad I finally decided to give them a try. It was so much fun! Plus, it meant I wasn't afraid to ride the roller coasters at the Harry Potter theme park.Haley Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787155341934750100noreply@blogger.com
