Déjà Vu and V2 (been on V2 about 30 times; Déjà Vu about 10 times and I still get a little nervous. I think it's not really nervousness but excitment)

I haven't been on Giant Drop. I'm hate that ride. It scares me.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

Giant Drop, because that type of Intamin freefall has had so many deaths and accidents. I had actually never been on it until a few weeks ago. And that's strange too considering I've been on Power Tower, Drop Zone, Tower of Terror, and Dr. Doom's Fearfall.

AFAIK, there's been only ONE death for a "giant drop" intamin tower (not from ours) at PGA.. That's why they added seat belts so this wouldn't happen again.

Same here. It's especially nerve-racking when you're at the top.. Nothing beats that experience. :)

Giant Drop is the only ride that gets my heart going before I ride it, and I LOVE it. When all rollercoasters and flat rides have failed, Giant Drop will pull through. The fall is amazing however.

The only ride that still terrifies me is Drop Zone at PKI :shock: . After doing DZ last year, I came back to SFGAm and rode Giant Drop 6 times in a row without the slightest bit of nervousness.
Finally Coaster Season!!

No ride makes me nervous. I go on all of them hands up and sometimes some of the rides actually can tend to bore me after awhile.

The only ride that I guess gets my heart pounding a little is the Ripcord at Cedar Point.

No suck ride exists for me anymore, even take time to enjoy the view on the 300 foot skyocaster in orlando.

However the Funtime Star Flyer looks a tad bit nerveracking, and I'll find out when I ride 2 next year in Europe (maybe all 3 depending on scheduling)

I'm slightly nervous about Demon Drop at Cedar Point.

Old Noises...
Completely Open...
It's an Intamin...
And you inch over that thing so slow...

This is by far the only thing that has ever scared me.

If you want to face your nerves, you better do it quick. Demon Drop's gone after this year.

Only happened to me on Excalibur at SFSTL. I didn't actually "get sick" per say but I almost was very close. I will never go on that ride again!

I've gotten really sick when I've ridden Chubasco and then another spinny ride one after the other...and got spun really fast by Chubasco.
