I like them, sometimes I go on them. I was showing my soon-to-be 16 year old sister YouTube videos about them. I just want a conversation to break up all the depressing stuff, so let’s talk about something fun.
 
I’ve been to Carowinds three times, none of those roller coasters fly,though they are pretty fast.
 
I don’t think I’ve actually ever been on an actual rollercoaster
 
I rode Cedar Point’s newest coaster, Steel Vengeance. It was awesome! It’s different from a normal coaster. I’ve never ridden anything else like it. It seemed to have a uniqueness to it beyond the fact that it was made from an older wooden coaster.

Two of my favorites happen to be at Cedar Point also, Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster, even though I’m actually a little intimidated by Top Thrill Dragster.

I’m surprised I have been on them, because I’m actually afraid of heights
 
There is a coaster at Carowinds called afterburner, it used to be called Top Gun, after the film, because a lot of stuff at Carowinds is like that. I haven’t been there since 2008, but that ride is still very popular from what I understand. They have a coaster, called Fury 325 that is apparently very well-liked, I almost want to go up to Charlotte just to do that. But, part of Carowinds is actually in South Carolina, the address is in Charlotte. And I don’t live near Charlotte anyway. Still, had I the money, for both the tickets and the gas, I would make the two-hour Drive. I’ve never rode Fury 325, because it’s only been there since 2015. Don’t ask me why they put the number in the name, I have no idea.
 
I do not do roller coasters as I do not find them fun. That is just me though.
 
I think the last time I was on a roller coaster was Desperado in Primm, Nevada. That was around 20 years ago. During my late teens and early 20s, I rode all the local roller coasters at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Knotts Berry Farm and Disneyland. The ones at Magic Mountain were the most impressive: Revolution, Colossus, Viper, Gold Rusher… some of these have been upgraded since I rode them, and there are many newer ones now which I’ve never ridden.

These days, my aching back would not appreciate the jarring motion, so my thrill ride days are a thing of the past.

The roller coasters, I loved,👍 but the rides that just spun round and round, I hated!! 😠 They made me dizzy, then nauseous 🤢
 
Roller coasters just make me miss Astroworld and wish time travel were possible so my husband and I could go together. We didn’t know eachother when it was still open and our age difference then would have made it weird if we did.
 
I actually was watching stuff about roller coasters, because my little sister has scoliosis and had to have several surgeries because of how severe it was. To the best of my knowledge, and she’s never been on a roller coaster. She has been on some basic rides at the fair, but one of those she did not like. I think she would like roller coasters more. It sounds like some of the ones you were at, are out west, so my mother may very well know those, because she used to live in California.
 
No comment 😛 on the age thing. We used to have a theme park here in South Carolina, in Myrtle Beach, call Hard Rock Park, but I had never been to it, but that sounds like something I would have loved. It was later bought out, and became freestyle music Park, but that didn’t last long either. Myrtle Beach would be a very good place for a theme park, it already has a ton of tourist attractions, unfortunately that’s pretty much all that has, Myrtle Beach is actually kind of boring. You would think that it may have been because of a hurricane or something, nope, it was because of mismanagement and a recession.

I haven’t been to Minnesota since I was like 4 years old, and I just barely remember it, I’m going to have to look that place up.
 
“Biggest theme park in the Midwest” I’m told is Valleyfair
 
I haven’t lived in the midwest since I was 13. My brother and my sister, my older brother and my older sister, rather, they went to Six Flags up around Chicago when we were younger. I lived, near Davenport, Iowa, actually, I think I lived closer to Peoria at that time. Carowinds is just the main close theme park, there’s a Six Flags up near Atlanta, but I’ve never been to it. I think my mother has the most experience with theme parks out of people in my family, having lived in both Florida and California. I’m going to talk to her about this. I was up by Chicago a couple months ago, but didn’t really have the money to go to any theme parks up there. Let’s see, the last time I was in Minnesota, it was snowing.
 
I love roller coasters. In high school, one of our favorite things to do was to locate the cameras on the couple of roller coasters that would take photos for you to purchase once you got off. Then we would pose for the cameras. I still have a keychain of me and some friends doing “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.” 🙈 🙉 🙊
