I don't or ever liked roller coasters. I don't even like the teacups in disney. I do like the water flumes, though.

I hate roller coasters, but I am petrified of heights. I like water rapid rides though.

I'm not into roller coasters - or at least not the backward upside down ones & I do love water rides ...

this is nothing like a water ride ... it's like jumping off [or pushed off] a building !!!

I've always wondered: what keeps the raft "stuck" to the slide? I'm assuming it's a sciency-wiency answer like the force of gravity and the suction of water and mass+force or something but all I can think of when I see a pic like that is the raft tipping over the edge and soaring over it, then tumbling head over heels through the air before crashing at the bottom.

I once went on The Tower of Terror in Disney World. It was absolutely horrible.

Oh HECK no!

I absolutely cannot fathom why anyone would consider this fun, in any form whatsoever.

I understand that people DO think this is fun, because obviously someone designed and built this thing. I just can't comprehend it.

NO FREAKING WAY. And I like water slides.

That picture gives me anxiety. Just like photo number 2 in this set. LOOK AT THE SWING! It dangles you off a cliff!!! http://www.buzzfeed.com/ariell.....u-die

that would not be fun, but torture.

I like waterslides but not this type of one. This is horrific.
I hate rollercoasters and they are dangerous also.

they're only dangerous when people fall out ... or get scared to death

I know it's happened before, but that's such a scary thought. Shaking

or if they stop halfway and someone is hanging upside down - very dangerous.

AAAACK, no! I'm getting that sick feeling just looking at the height and angle of that drop in the photo.
