I used to be deathly afraid of rollercoasters. I then turned 10 (lol) when our family had to move out to (stupid, horrible) Ohio. As some of you probably know, Cedar Point in located in Sandusky, Ohio, and I live about 30-45 minutes away from it. When we went the first time, the Dragster was new and stuff and my friend had said he wanted to ride it really badly. I didn't want to chicken out in front of him, right? So I got in line and stuff first thing, and we rode on the coaster.
I was scared, but I loved rollercoasters ever since, and I like to say that the Top Thrill is my first coaster ever. ;D
Also, once you go to Cedar Point, no other amusement park that focuses on rollercoasters or thrill rides can compare. The only rides NOT at CP that are fun anymore are things that aren't either of the two.
