2. No.

I love rollercoasters, but aside from it being big and fast, it looks boring. Up, then down. I'm just not big on rides like that. I like turns and dips. Some of the best roller coasters are the old wooden ones IMO, like The Beast at Kings Island, or The Gemini and The Mean Streak at Cedar Point (My favorite roller coaster park). But even some of metal ones are thrilling without attempting to beat records.

4. It seems like it never runs.

My sister and her family went up to Cedar Point a couple years ago, and my nephews were really disappointed that it wasn't running.

7. I don't think so. I have jumped out of planes, but at least

I had a means of escape. You are strapped into those seats with no way out.

8. Up and down rides bore the crap out of me.

It's G's for the sake of G's, no imagination or fun involved. If I want that, I'll go bungee jumping.

A roller coaster without a loop isn't a rollwer coaster (unless it's made out of wood).

13. I wonder how much torque it takes to get a train to the top of that thing

:)

I'd ride it I guess. I'd rather ride something more interesting (the Viper at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California is a fun one if you're into loops, there are a lot of great wooden coaster if you're just into feel).

18. Ever since I saw that pic on the net of the guy shitting himself bungee

jumping, I stay away from stuff like that.

And to be honest, I stayed away from it before I saw that pic....
