Who else LOVES them? I am 47 and am always in the minority age in the lines but I LOVE them! I wonder if it is because of the ADHD that attracts me to them or what? Anyway, wondered if anyone else loved them too. Of course the standing in line for them sometimes drives me crazy but there are a lot of things to look at and the ride to look forward to and all :D

Oooh! I *adore* roller coasters! And I'm 47, too!

I only like the ones that aren't too jarring, though....my neck can't take the kind that really whip you around. The bigger the drop, though, and the more loops and backward runs, the better!!!

I think it might be a stimulation thing, too.

Ever been to Space Mountain - now that is an ADHD ride. We went "off season" so there wasn't the long lines. Oh I am not 47 yet however I am not very far behind.

I love Space Mountain, but the best coaster I've been on in recent years is the Medusa at Six Flags Marine World in Vallejo, CA. Awesome ride ... very smooth ... great thrills.

I do have the privilege, also, of having the legendary Cyclone at Coney Island be the very first coaster I ever rode. I grew riding that one, and it hooked me for life.

I love rollercoasters too! :D :D

The only thing I don't like about them is that they are never long enough!

I love em too! I used to be so scared of them, but then my dad and sister made me ride on in '00 and I LOVED IT! The next year I was back to being scared of them, but still tried it again and LOVED IT!

And thanks... Now you made me want to go to Silverwood Theme park... <.< :p

I'm 43 I went on a roller coasters once and it caused me physical pain.

I was scared to death, I wanted to jump off :eek: The person I was with was trying to hold my hand, I would not let go of the bar and SCREAMED the whole way.

But I've been on a loop coaster that didn't take you very high and I loved it !!!!

Heh...we should have an ADDers convention at a theme park!Ha ha Great Idea! :D I see I am not the only one! There are not many people I can go with. My best friend likes them and we go to Six Flags Georgia once a year and just ride every roller coaster all day long. DH loves them but gets sick after about 2 so no good. Other women my age think I am crazy :rolleyes: Sometimes DH just sits and waits on me while I ride them when he starts getting sick. I don't mind but like someone said they are over WAY too quick!

I want to go to Cedar Point. That is my next goal! I would have to spend two or three days though I am sure!
