Calling all chickens, which rides to avoid...

[emmaleigh47]

I am a self-proposed roller coaster chicken, BUT I can do the following

The Mummy (OMG best ride ever)
Expedition Everest
Space Mountain
Mission Space
MIB and ToT

DH(who will go on everything) and I have tickets to Universal and IoA. I do want to try some new things, but would prefer not to be sick the rest of the day.

A few years ago they convinced me to go on Krakken at Sea World --- Mmmmm bad decision and I was quite ill for 4 hours.

Your help is always appreciated!

You might want to skip Dueling Dragons. It is very fun, but if you're afraid of Coasters, this one will probably scare the pants off of you!


But I cant stress ENOUGH how awesome THE INCREDIBLE HULK roller coaster is. It looks WAY worse than it is. In reality, it is one of the smoothest Roller Coasters I have EVER been on. Believe me, you should NOT miss it. Again, it LOOKS worse than it is. Years ago, when I first road it, I was scared out of my mind. But I was talked into going on it... I did.... and I LOVED IT! I had to go ride it 10 more times! DO NOT MISS IT!!!!!!!

Everything else, besides Dr. Doom's Fear Fall you should be ok on.

Have fun!

You should be able to do Spiderman. Not really coaster, but comparable to The Mummy. And if you can do Expedition Everest, I'd try the Hulk.

Too bad you can't do Dueling Dragons. I'm a roller coaster chicken at times, but DD is my favorite I like smooth steel coasters with upside down loops. I HATE wooden coasters and steep long drops.

BTW, I can only do the Mummy with my eyes closed. I'm too scared of things popping out at me!

I have a big problem with lift hills.But like the OP stated Hulk will launch you out,after that there is nothing left but the screams of JOY!!!!
Now I'm not saying I ride it everytime I go,but as far as a coaster goes this will rock you!!!

I love DD,but that lift hill kills me!!
My wife gets me on it and she has to talk to me all the way up.If I look down panic sets in..I dont know why.

i do the hulk a lot but i have the same problem on it as i do the Rock and roll coaster at disney.

my head jerks back and forth on turns.

i have to brace my neck with my hand so i don't get jarred the entire ride.

other than that, it is kewl.



my favorite time to ride the Hulk is first thing in the mornings.
the mist from the water below on one of the drops is fantastic.....

Im curious, why do you freak out when you look down? The lift hill is in a tunnel.

Wait let me clarify my chicken-ness. I think I do okay, as long as it doesnt do alot of corkscrews perhaps. I am okay going upside down -- LOL I just watched the Youtube video of Krakken and I got kinda sick. Reminds me why that ride was torture.

Still, you shouldnt miss Hulk. It is one of, if not the smoothest Coaster I have ever been on. It looks horrible, but its really not. Once you get going, its really awesome.

Plus, best view in the park! (Unless of course you ride Dr. Doom's Fear Fall)

anyone else?

Being afraid of heights and the fear of falling,I have, until just last weekend,always avioded coasters,except doing The Mummy last last time I was at IOA.
I had a younger guest (19) with my family this time so I was determined to do The Hulk after watching the various on-ride videos on the net.All I can say is WOW!!!!!!
I was very smooth and not scary at all! Don't let it's size scare you out of riding it....I went back the next day and rode again also.

I was so "pumped" after finally counqering the fear of the Hulk that I tried Dueling Dragons,although I'm glad I tried it(fire)I probably won't do it again as I felt it was rougher that I cared for.I felt a little sick afterward and the shoulder restraints even left marks on both of my sides that were still there the next day.

DO not skip the Hulk...you won't realize what you are missing.
