;D I love roller coasters! The problem is that I can't go on them, because I get so motion-sick.  I can't even go on Disney's Thunder Mountain. I know, really pathetic...  But anyhow...Cedar Point? I've never heard of it. |

Hmm....well I've been on Pirates of the Caribbean, and there's a couple of 'dips' on that---ie my tummy falls out under me---and that's no fun for me. Some people find it fun; I don't.
I went on the Matterhorn once---ONCE---and that's it.

When I was in America on my way to England we went to Disneyland and I went on the Matterhorn (not sure if the one inside the mountain is called that?) with Dad despite being scared of rollercoasters, and found it was actually all right. So then, thinking I was brave, I went on the one with the water (cant remember the name sorry) and had a heart attack. Dad was saying come on, you're never going to be back here, make the most of it. But I sure wish I had made the most of it on the ground. BTW: my favourite ride was the Haunted Mansion since I was going through a ghost/horror phase at that time.

I LOVE rollercoasters, especially the ones with the 360 degree loops. I rode one recently and I screamed throughout the whole ride ;D I haven't tried having my eyes open the whole ride, I prefer them closed and just peeking... and then after it, I would expect to disappear. |

BTW: my favourite ride was the Haunted Mansion since I was going through a ghost/horror phase at that time. yeah i think the matterhorn is the one in disney where its shaped like a snowy mountain, pretty tame if i remember correctly! i think the one with the water ur talking about could be splash mountain, again i thought it was tame! the haunted mansion is great, the best ghost train/haunted houses i've been on! |

Yeah, I've seen some bigger ones, but I am not a fan of rollercoasters so I generally don't go on them. Although I went on some of the freakier rides up at "Wonderland" last time I was in Sydney. I think it had something to do with the fact that my cousin said he'd give me a bottle of bourbon if I went on them..... |

Yeah Lizifer do you mean Splash Mountain---the mountain you go inside on the log boats and then crash at the end? lol Whenever I've been to Disneyland with friends, I shop while they go on the 'roller coaster' or drop rides---I've been on Indiana Jones twice, but the 2nd time I nearly fell out (I had to hold on to my friend Bill the whole time)....I'm not going on that again. I have NEVER in my whole life been on Space Mountain. ...and all of this is pretty funny cuz the spaciest I got was when I was 13 and in the Tomorrowland shop and all of a sudden everything begin to spin....I saw everything in the waves....everything connected...and I heard my mom say "Donna are you ok?" and she grabbed my left arm to lead me outside so hard it hurt, and I tried to push her away because I was walking fine. Only recently did she tell me that my legs had been buckling under me...which...had not been the case from my (apparently semi-astral) perspective. ....yeah..wow...even being in the SHOP was a ride for me!!!! LOL   Donna |

I went on "Space Mountain" too and my little brother was so quiet during it we thought he'd passed out.
