Even looking at this image scares me a little bit. Perhaps it is my insane phobia of heights, or perhaps it is the fact that it looks like you are about to go over 50 mph down to the end of your life... I'm guessing it's a combination of both. We all know people who go on roller coasters and say something like "oh of course I was scared, but that's what makes it so fun!!!" My response to that is "what?!??!?!" Scared? Fun? In the same sentence? Having been tricked on to the tallest roller coaster at the Six Flags in Chicago, I can assure you that despite me almost having peed my pants, "fun" never entered the equation. I'm all for "living life on the edge", and that doing things out of your comfort zone definitely make a stronger character, but why do something that makes you literally scream as though you were about to die? Not my cup of tea...
