i am a sad strange little (wo)man...

[DramaQueen]

Sooooo, we're going to IOA when we go to Florida.
And there's that Jurassic Park ride.
And I was watching a video of it on youtube.com last night.
And I was scared silly.

Now let's just get a couple things straight;
Yes, I am 17 years old.
Yes, I know REAL dinosaurs are extinct and have been for millions of years.

But I have this fear to top all fears of dinosaurs.
(Animatronic dinosaurs included--because they are the only type around. )

From what it looks like on the video I saw, the big scary dinos get VERRRY close to your little weensy boat. Is this true? Or was the video maybe zoomed in?

Either way, I don't know if I'm going to be able to work up the guts to get on this ride (I have to ride DInosaur @ AK with my eyes closed and my ears plugged)

So what do you guys think? SHould I go for it? Will I pee my pants? Or am I psyching myself out for nothing....?

 

[marypops!]

don't know but just glad i'm not the only person who has a fear of dinosaurs... still haven't rid on dinosaur and looking at the picture of the last dinosaur gives me the creeps

back to the topic i think if you don't like the idea of the ride just don't ride it because nobody is forcing you to go on

 

[Babyjustrun]

is that the one at Universal?
cos that's... umm.. a 84 foot drop. 32 more feet than Splash Mountain & 22 more feet than Atlantis.

I went on the JP ride at US in California and in that one this HUGE T-Rex popped out over top of you geting like 6ft. away from your face. So maybe if this is a pathological fear you have then maybe you should skip that one.

The ride was fun in my opinion... even though I was scared out of my wits when the last dinosaur burst out at the end.

I am so glad that some people won't go on that ride! I can't even wait in the gift shop it scares me so much..

Go for it && ride it, when I was 9 I was gonna go on TOT but chickened out.. next time I went (11) I went on and now I love it.

I hate drops.
As for audio-animatronics? I think not.

I was the same way on Dinosaur.
