I ain't been on a roller coaster in about 8 years, and I was terrified of them then. I could probably ride one now, just not an insanely fast one.

I already posted that video in my OP. Just in more surfer-friendly link form.

I used to be terrified of roller coasters, but then I started loving them right around the age of 16 (just in time imo).
Since I've never been on a coaster outside Minnesota, the Wild Thing at Valleyfair is the fastest/tallest one I've been on.

But the most truly terrifying ride at VF is the Power Tower:

Both look pretty evil to me, matey.

Speed is good, but height is very bad.

Maybe you'd like that blue one up front, then?
It's called the Corkscrew, and it's only 85 feet tall (basically just tall enough that it sits comfortably off the ground).
It's a fun ride what with the looping and the corkscrewing.

It might be sitting comfortably 85feet off the ground, but I wouldn't be.

Don't worry Trin, you'll be upside-down for enough of the ride that you won't even see the ground!
