SCARIEST Amusement Park Ride EVER!

that kind of ride is for people who have not yet discovered GLP :)

We need that fear rush it seems

This is the BEST ride ever. Looks scary from the ground (200 foot vertical drop) but it was built by master coaster engineers and the whole ride, even the drop, feels like human flight. There are several "dive machine" coasters around the world and if you like coasters you owe it to yourself to try one.

If you don't have time to watch the video this is at Busch Gardens Tampa fyi.

never

looks boring...

Try 1000


Been there done that almost shit myself

That guys nervous laugh was a hoot!

I don't get it. Looks very tame to me.

agreed

...and he was only watching....

I think a couple inches in front of that car is a thousand or so foot drop to asphalt. The people in the car are looking at empty air.

OK, it doesn't really show the ground.

Alien Encounter

Best fucking ride ever.

the mustache ride at Neverland Ranch is scarier.... but only if you're not high on the complimentary jesus juice.

Alien Encounter:

Finally, guests are seated in harnesses within a circular chamber surrounding an enormous plastic cylinder - the "teleportation tube."

a towering winged, carnivorous alien is beamed into the tube by mistake. The creature quickly escapes

A power outage then plunges the chamber into total darkness as guests sit helplessly restrained in their seats.

During the portions of the attraction that take place in darkness, binaural sound effects suggest that the alien is moving through the chamber, menacing the guests and even devours a maintenance man. In-seat vibration, air-blasts and other effects contribute to the illusion, with the alien appearing to be breathing and at one point licking the guests. "Blood" spattering in the dark is simulated by the spraying of water. Among other spine-tingling highlights during the encounter is a scene whereas cast members shine flashlights over the guests to ask if they are alright, only to be "ripped apart, limb-from-limb, and eaten" by the alien, using the marvellous technology of sound effects.

With assistance from the two X-S Tech technicians, the ravenous alien is ultimately driven back into the broken teleportation device and destroyed. Guests are then released from their seats.


Truly awesome the first time through.

no effin way...I rode the Tower Freefall Drop at Kings Island a couple years ago...I sat tere and cried at the bottom, it scared me so bad...

Amen!

I have a fear of heights. Screw that ride!

That's why dive machines like the Sheikra rock! It doesn't terrify, it thrills....still I'd like to try the Freefall! :-)

Are you talking about 'drop zone'?

When I was in Vegas they had a coaster that went around the the top of the Stratosphere and another ride that slings you up and you free fall back down. I did each only once. Never again.

No damn way I'd get on that ride.

My last scary ride was Tower of Terror at Disney World

After the elevator moves in to the shaft, the randomly-selected drop sequence begins. Rather than a simple gravity-powered drop, however, the elevator is pulled downwards, causing most riders to rise off their seats, held down only by a seat-belt. At least once during the drop sequence, doors in front of the riders will open to reveal a view of the park from a height of about 170 feet..

For me, that would have to be X-Factory. I went to the North Georgia State Fair in 2012 and I rode the X-Factory. It went so fast that when I descended, it made my stomach turn something fierce, and it made my ears pop as if I were descending in a fast elevator. That was unquestionably the scariest ride I have ever ridden in my whole life. After I got off X-Factory, I swore that I would never get on it again.

The Pirate Ship can be scary, but it depends on which bench you sit on. If you sit on the middle bench it's not as scary as if you sit way in the back. If you do sit way in the back, when the boat reaches its highest point, you feel as if you're gonna fall out of your seat. Another thing that makes this ride so scary is that it really makes you sick!

The Double Ferris Wheel is pretty scary. As the wheel itself descends, the cars closest to the outside of the wheel swing outward. I rode the Double Ferris Wheel at the Florida State Fair, and my mom (who died March 2nd, 2013) rode with me. She told me that I was supposed to lean back rather than forward, and I was afraid to lean back for fear that I might fall out of the car. I saw a picture of a pair of double Ferris wheels at the Iowa State Fair in the older World Book Encyclopedia. One wheel descended, and the car near the outside of the wheel swung way outward, with the riders' feet higher than their heads. These days I'm afraid to get on a double Ferris wheel for fear that I will fall out of the car and fall to my death.

Page didn't work, but I found this one:

The Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags over Georgia is scary, but Goliath is even scarier. I can tell by watching the cars on Goliath go down the big hill that it's that scary. The Ninja would have to be the scariest roller coaster on earth.

Space Mountain at Walt Disney World is very scary. You can't see where you're going, so you can't see the drops coming up, which sorta takes you by surprise.

I hate that thing. I went on it when my son could just barely fit in the seat belt- he was 3. I spent the whole ride thinking he as going to fall out and keeping both of my hands on him- which meant I was completely just hanging by the belt. I will never, ever, ride that again.

From what I saw on TV, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride looks very scary. I never will ride the Tower of Terror. Never.
