So, are you an adrenaline junkie who would ride every single one that you walked past at an amusement park? Or do you try to avoid them at all costs?

Personally, I love them. The first tall one that I rode was the Titan at Six Flags, and I'll admit, my friend and I were scared to DEATH when we reached the top. We had to hold hands and all of that junk. XD But we ended up having so much fun that we rode the thing 5 more times before having to go home.

When I visited her in England, we went on several others such as the Oblivion (on the front row), Pepsi Max, Nemesis, Rita, Air, Grand National, etc. I doubt those were the healthiest decisions we've ever made in our lives, but we had fun.

I haven't really rode on Roller coasters much..

But I like them, because I like the feeling of going fast. XD But last time I went on when, I kind of threw up on the lady who was sitting infront of us when we stopped. :< We didn't have time to apologize because my dad quickly grabbed me and we ran away.. XD;

When I was little, my dad took me on a really big roller coaster. I was just big enough to ride it. He said it would be lots of fun.

I was traumatized. D:

Now I hardly ride anything. When we went to Disney world, my brother was all WOO RIDES! and I was all WOO EPCOT! WOO ANIMAL KINGDOM! WOO WAIT WITH BAGS WHILE YOU RIDE SPACE MOUNTAIN! ...I'm not very fun at typical amusement parks. You might be able to get me on a tame to slightly fast ride, but if it's too fast I won't like it and if it goes upside down it's a definite no.
I do like water rides though. :]

Congratulations! Your Super Smash Bros. Melee has evolved into Super Smash Bros. Brawl!
Super Smash Bros. Brawl wants to learn the character Lucario.
However, Super Smash Bros. Brawl already knows four pokemon characters.
Should a character be deleted and replaced with Lucario?
Which character should be forgotten?
1,2, and... ... ... Poof!
Super Smash Bros. Brawl forgot Mewtwo.
And...
Super Smash Bros. Brawl learned Lucario!

After spending an entire summer attending Six Flags on a daily basis I got sick of roller coasters. Even then, I didn't really enjoying the supposed adrenaline rush they supposedly provided, well enough to at least remember my favorite ride. Besides, I prefer Six Flags Hurricane Harbor over the original.

I love them. Whenever I go to an amusement park with my friends park the first thing we do is to get on every roller coaster(or any other lickely-to-make-you-sick attraction) until there's only one person who hasn't vomited. I've never won, pretty much I'm always the 3rd or 4th person to throw up. It's not healthy but it is funny.

Double-sided.

I really enjoy being on one. I love the way they wind and rumble and make you feel like you're flying at high speed.

On the other hand I would only like to be alone on one. I'm frightened of other people vomiting on it (acute phobia of other people vomiting), so I don't use them any more (don't go to theme parks these days... too many of the more annoying breeds of kids).

When I was younger, I used to be so terrified of them, I could never go on them. A couple years ago, though, I just got... braver or something, because now I love them, and when I go to Canada's Wonderland, I'll ride, like, every single one of them. I used to be so scared of them, but now, I'm just like, "bring it!" o3o

Ironically, I just went today. n__n They had this new roller coaster, the Behemoth, up today, and it's one of the fastest and largest roller coasters in Canada. One of the drops is almost vertical. I went on it, and just got this, like, blast of adrenaline. XD;

I'm still dizzy right now... :D

They terrify the heck outta me :x however, I'm usually forced to go on them by whomever I'm with. So, I do go on them, I just don't enjoy it that much at all XD; The only ride I do like though is Superman 8(

I love the Titan! I actually blacked out for a split second coming around that last corner. XP

Overall, I'm in between on roller coasters. If someone makes me get on it, I'll love it. Otherwise, I'm terrified.

I am suprised someone as old as you likes to have such a rush. You should check with your nurse before going on another one.

I avoid roller coasters at all costs. I get blisters all over my hands and I vomit after everything. I'll go on it if it has some sort of water feature, BUT THAT IS IT!

I love them! I was terrified at first since I hit my head while riding one that flipped around but I think it's such a thrill. Disney World was fun but I love the coasters at Islands of Adventure since they're faster. The Hulk and Dueling Dragons pwn. |D

I love rollercoasters. I was really scared of the first one I went on, since it was a pretty huge one that went around for about 3 minutes and I was only 10.

I always try to get on the larger rollercoasters in the park whenever I visit an amusement park. I wish the lines weren't always so long for them. xD

I've never been on an actual one, I get motion sickness so I wouldn't want to take the chance. Plus we don't live near any, I did go on a roller coaster like thing before at Sega World in Sydney, Australia before they shut it down when I was 8.

In wouldn't call myself an "adrenaline junkie", as the OP puts it, but I definitely have a favourable inclination towards rollercoasters and other similar rides. I'm definitely in agreement with Kagami about the lines though. A few years ago I waited 45 minutes for a 2-minute ride, which is roughly a minute riding for 23 minutes waiting. It's probably even worse in the ultra-popular theme parks like Disneyland, though.
