I don't like drop towers personally. I hate how they startle you when they drop, and in hen Its hard to enjoy the ride down because I've just been startled. Now if there was like a "drop countdown" so the drop wouldn't startle me I would love them. I doubt Ill ride Zumanjaro this summer, I diddnt ride Lex Luther when I went to SFMM In October.
Have fun...

Also, I can't do the spinning rides all night like I used to. So unless it's something new or really big and European, I don't care much for them either.

I still can't get myself on any drop tower, I just keep having flashbacks of riding Tower of Terror. Last year at Cedar Point Graham tried getting me on Power Tower, I got in line and when it was our turn I could not get on it.
The funny thing is I love airtime/ hang time but free falling on drop towers is not my thing. Maybe one day I will grow some balls and ride one.

1: The New Texas Giant: personal thoughts: prayers for the boy who lost his mother.
2: Screaming Eagle at SFSL: Why can't they make it into a hybrid coaster.
3: The Boss at SFSL: To rough
The only wooden coaster I trust for now is The Wodden Warrior at Quassy Amusement park. Sorry if I misspelled the park name.

Personally I hate a few wooden roller coasters. Here are the names
1: The New Texas Giant: personal thoughts: prayers for the boy who lost his mother.
2: Screaming Eagle at SFSL: Why can't they make it into a hybrid coaster.
3: The Boss at SFSL: To rough
The only wooden coaster I trust for now is The Wodden Warrior at Quassy Amusement park. Sorry if I misspelled the park name.
Honestly, the only reason it came undone, is because the employees didn't make sure it was clicked enough. I would ride it anyday, as long as it clicks a few times at least. Also, the lady who died on that ride even told the people working on the coaster that she didn't feel safe, that it should click more times. If a person on a coaster says they don't feel safe and say they want off(I'm not sure she said exactly that, but she said something similar), you let them off. You don't force them to stay on if you don't want to. IMO, I personally think it could have been prevented, if the park trained the employees to trained them properly.

Green Lantern (or any Intamin Zacspin). They're very slow and not fun at all. Add in the pain factor (say goodbye to your manhood) and you've got one very unpleasant ride.
Those suck IMO, they whip your neck and head very bad, I could barely walk after I got off of Green Lantern for the first time.

I really don't Vortex. It's a great Arrow, don't get me wrong, but it hurts insanely bad.

Gwazi and Ninja are my least two favorite. Mostly because i cannot fit in the Ninja train (need to cross my legs and slouch in the seat) and gwazi is just way too rough.
Phoenix at BGT (inverting ship) is just awfully painful on the groin and the chest. They tightened the restraints too much IMO.

^Im assuming you can fit in Arrow/Vekoma trains, so it can't be that bad.
Yeah, I'm pretty small for my age anyway, the trains themselves don't hurt, just the horrible transitions.

I also hate flat rides that spin to the point that you are pushed extremley hard against the outterwall and have no good restraints to hold you in place, I end up riding some of these every summer at a local fair. Hopefully this year Ill spend less time on annoying rides and more time with my GCI which Im going to be entering In the fair!

^^^ Same here, I had a bad experience when I was younger. Way back when I was in elementary school my family went down to Walt Disney World. We went to what was MGM studios and went on Tower of Terror and hated it.
I still can't get myself on any drop tower, I just keep having flashbacks of riding Tower of Terror. Last year at Cedar Point Graham tried getting me on Power Tower, I got in line and when it was our turn I could not get on it.

We need to get you on one of those frog hopper kiddie towers then.

The Monster flat rides at both Cedar Point and Dorney Park are also terrible from what I remember 5 years ago. They spin at a speed where head rests would be nice, but there aren't any. I remember having quite the sore neck after getting off.
