If you guys go back and look at my post, you'll see that I was grilling everyone on these boards with all sorts of questions about RNR, trying to talk myself into riding.
My DH loves this ride and begged me to get on it. So I work up the nerve deciding to ride at the end of the day so I won't be sick for a whole day.
We walk up near the ride, outside where everyone sits....I interview people after people, mainly females that looked like they might be scared and asked if they liked it, if it was scary.
I get in the building, get in line, not a long line maybe 10 minutes. I am about to hyperventilate. Now I have never felt like I was going to hyperventilate but I now know what people mean when they say they did or almost did. I was now so affraid that I was going to die of freight instead of the actual ride. I said to my DH "I'm going to have a heart attack in line and make history". These people behind me knew I was scared and started egging me on saying, it's ok except for the time we got stuck upside down. When we got up to the pre-show movie, they saw I was not doing well and I heard one of the guys say "hey, stop, she's scared to death."
I get up to the lane where you're about to load and thought, I can't do this. I asked DH if he would be disappointed if I didn't ride and he said yes, so I didn't want to disappoint him. I step up to the limo, both feet inside, then one foot in the limo, left foot out. The ride attendant asked me then if I wanted to back out, I started to get out and the guys that were behind us start cheering saying, NO, YOU CAN DO IT! COME ON!
I step back in, pull the harness over my shoulders and thought I couldn't breathe. We zip around, wait to take off and at that moment had I seen a CM I would have said, stop the ride, I'm off for sure.
We blast off and that first jolt got me and I was so scared, then up.....the loop and I was flying high. Loved the loop, the corkscrews,the whole thing. Got off and my cheering section found me in the gift shop and they were all giving me high fives. It was a great moment! I wish a camera crew would have been following me, I would have won $10,000 on funniest home videos.
To all my fellow chickens, YOU MUST DO THIS RIDE. I RODE TWICE AND WANTED TO RIDE MORE! I LOVED IT!
