I know a lot of people are scared of TTD, MF, and maybe, WT. But I was wondering what other rides/coasters in the park scare you. maXair scares a lot of people becuase it spins and goes fast, while dropping all at the same time. The only ride that scares me is Power Tower Blue (drop). I have yet to go on it because I don't like free-fall rides, but I actually enjoyed Demon Drop when I went on it last year. Tell me what you think.

skyhawk--no doubt about it. Staring face down at all that concrete is the most unnerving thing I've ever done on an amusement ride.

I'm with you, Drop Rides are the only rides that I won't go on. I've tried to go on Drop Tower at King's Island for my visits this year, but I've yet to. I'll ride anything else no problem.

Definitely the drop side of power tower. I will go on it no problem, but it is scary anticipating the drop.

I would go with Power Tower drop side as well. There's something about sitting up there and not knowing when you are going to drop.

I'll go on just about anything, Power Tower scares the poop out of me, both sides, but moreso the drop. I still go on both of them though. Skyhawk also scared me a lot, the restraints are so open, every time we went up I felt like I would fly out.

The first time I ever rode Skyhawk I would have said that, but now I have to agree that its the anticipation of sitting there waiting for Power Tower to drop you. Having rode Skyhawk many times I can no longer say that I'm scared of it. :mrgreen:

For me it TTD... didnt do it last year.. ive never been more scared of any ride in my life.. But ourside of coasters... Skyhawk.. i never went on the one in CP but i went on the same thing in Branson, MO and its pretty scary haha! I think its has to do with the restraints.. Just the lapbars.. I have shoulder bars ha ha! It makes me feel safer. Its all mental, and mentally i cant over come that fear! Im hoping to so TTD this year though.... i hope i dont chicken out.. I just tell myself its 17 seconds long so if i hate it, it will be over with SOON

TTD is by far the scariest ride in the park. I had never rode it before until last week, and we rode it in the front seat 8O you sooooo have to ride it it's AMAZING!!! I had tried the past few years and chickened out, last year I was going to do it but it started raining.

Some of you guys need to go ride Skyscraper and then talk about what the scariest ride is. It doesn't scare me (I have no phobias with rides), but I've seen that ride bring full-grown men to the verge of tears.

^^Yea Rip Cord and Skyscraper blow any ride at that park away in terms of how scary it is. They both cost extra to ride but are well worth the money.

^I agree, Those skycoasters scare me far more than any actual coaster or drop ride ever will.

Its Jr. Gemini! Hahaha just joking. For me its the drop side of power tower. Thats only becuz I don't enjoy drop rides at all! TTD scares me still, but its the anticipation of the launch not really the ride itself.

Mean Streak. It is either painful to a high degree, Painful to a low degree, somewhat painful, average, good, or great.

Either that or you die. I swear. I ride Mean Streak a lot and when I start to feel the pain I get scared. The other day it did not even seem like part of the train was on the track.

Mean Streak, because it looks (and feels) like the trains about to fall to pieces.
