I adore roller coasters. Only issue I have with them is that some of them bash your head into the restraint system and it causes me pain in my head and neck. I don't like that part so much.

I went on it first by myself, was terrified/thrilled, and then went and got Chow and dragged him there to ride it with me.
That state line rollercoaster is something else!!! Would you ride it again? I think I would, but it has been years since I did it last.

I don't know, am I having some drinks first again?

What got me about the Supreme Scream was that it gave a false start and dropped just a little and I thought it was malfunctioning and we were about to plummet to our deaths. lol So, yeah, we screamed, supremely.

Like Chow said, it's not necessarily the rides themselves I'm afraid of, it's the malfunctioning part of it. Every once in a while you hear about someone dying on them. (Not to be a buzzkill here. lol)

I'm a screamer, rides are more fun when you're screaming.

Same with haunted houses.

Oh no, like that poor kid on that one ride that freefalls? And his seat belt wasn't connected? That was horrible.

See, that's the thing. I never screamed on rides. Usually I'm just laughing. I've always loved scary rides since I was a girl. I always thought people were overreacting or whatever, like you say, just getting into it. But this was not about a ride that was designed to be scary, I seriously thought we were in trouble. We've posted about it many times over the years. We still laugh at ourselves about how we were so traumatized. lol

I honestly don't remember details, but it comes up once in a while.

I'm not sure how the system works in terms of that status line.

I think if you're put on "vacation" for a while it shows that you aren't a member. Not sure exactly, more of a guess I suppose.

There are a handful of long-time members that show that same status. I wonder if you don't log into the site for a really long time, it throws out that status, again, a guess.

Yeah. 90 days, she gave me permission to tell. Some of us can’t go over to the POC without eventually getting a time out. Some of us.
