>>First drop is 300 feet. Speed 95 mph. I'd be scared.

>Scary enough to start, but they all clammed up after that. Not many twists and turns, or a loop-de-loop, centrifugal, etc., which all come into the equation.

>I went on as many of the mega-coasters as I could at Canada Wonderland in Toronto: stand-up, dangle on a saddle, rickety traditional type, "Top Gun", plummet down and up a huge horse-shoe, forwards and backwards, et al, so I'm not talking from an armchair. I love 'em!

>There's one in the pier that changes direction suddenly, and spins round, way up over the cold, cold sea, like the old "mad mouse". That puts the muckies up me more! :-)
I don't like anything that'll make me dizzy. G force etc I'm ok with as long as its positive. Plus I'm not to keen on anything that might make my glasses come off. Air at Alton Towers was one of those.
