I love roller coasters. I love the trill you get when you ride them. I really enjoy the speed, the quick turns and the sudden ups and downs. I hate rides that turn, rotate or revolve because I really don't like being dizzy. I just hate the feeling that you feel like vomiting. How about you? What's your favorite rides? What rides don't you like?

I used to be terrified of roller coasters and wouldn't get on one. Three years ago I finally got on one and demanded to go again! Now they are also my favorite! There was still one at my local theme park I was scared of because it went backwards but I finally gave it a chance. I really would like to go to a couple of parks that are bigger than mine (It has 4 coasters) to check out what I am missing out on. My park is Frontier City in Oklahoma...I work at its sister park White Water - my favorite water ride is the Big Kahuna which is a slide that allows for up to four people to ride on a big tube together.

I don't think I have a specific type that I like or dislike (though I won't go on anything that involves water). Some rollercoasters I simply won't go on - anything that's really high or goes upside down, but other rollercoasters I love (they are probably the ones considered tame by coaster aficionados!). My absolute favourite coaster is Expedition Everest in Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida.
I really like those chairs that are suspended under a big disk, which get lifted up and then it just spins round (don't know what they'd be called, sorry!) - I find them really relaxing but my husband won't go anywhere near them. Strangely though, he loves things that spin but stay on the floor (like the tea cups ride at Disney where you spin the disc in the middle of your cup to make it rotate faster).
I love themed stuff like Pirates of the Caribbean, which are basically just boat rides - something that's an experience for all the senses not just a way of making your stomach go wobbly! And no-one does theming like Disney does theming! ;o)

Well we all can go on the roller coaster as that is my favorite ride as well.
My husband and my little son also hate the rides that go around as they too get dizzy and feel ill.
