Going on amusement park rides ? So far I have not come across a bridge that I was not ok with crossing. The same holds true with tunnels. Amusement park rides are another story. I tend to avoid them as most of them involve me being upside down at some point.

Do you find the following activities exciting/scary/boring-or “other”:
Going under bridges ? I don't mind driving under bridges, but I hate being stopped (eg traffic lights) under a bridge. I used to dream I was being chased under a bridge when I was little, and I could never get away.
Going over bridges ? Some are pretty boring and some are really good - I like those where you can see the scenery around you. I used to live right near the Sydney Harbour Bridge - they don't come much better than that!
Going through tunnels ? No problemo - can be boring.
Going on amusement park rides ? Not the ones where you go too fast and/or get turned upside down. Ferris wheels are good.
Just for Fun:
Is there a type of store or public place you choose to avoid, because you’d be tempted to overspend (and/or clutter up your home) ? I'm not much of a shopper, or an impulse buyer, but can go overboard if let loose in a music store (CDs).
