I am one of those people who would like to enjoy them but on the rare occasion that I ride one I find myself holding on in sheer terror with white knuckles gripping whatever I can. ha ha ha
The worst are the ones in the dark (Space Mountain at Disney). You’ would think that not seeing would be a blessing but actually, it means you cannot prepare for what is about to happen. At least we can both cross “ride a roller coaster” off of our bucket list. 😉
Cool old poster – I like it! Did you get to ride the Big Dipper?

Me too! They sound good in theory but in practice, not so much. 🙂

I used to love roller coasters, Sandra, but I haven’t been for a pretty good stretch. Not as far back as the Big Dipper, though, I must say!

Me too, Mark! They have since lost their appeal though. Maybe because I have heard too many horror stories.

I think my joints would ache more afterward, too, Sandra, if it were a really great rollercoaster.

Once, when I was very young and foolish I rode the roller coaster at Santa Cruz.

🙂 I can picture that Dora! Me too. Only once. That’s all I need of that ride ever again.

I’m right with you, Rachel! They look like fun from a distance but I find the free fall sensation frightening as an adult.
