Go for it and make sure you have both hands above your head on all the rides!! My Son-in-law doesn’t like rides so I get to go with my Daughter on all of them….just love a good amusement park!!!

Well DANG-IT Electrik Lady. I get motion sickness on those rides too, but I never thought of using motion sickness pills beforehand until you mentioned it right there.
Helicopter skids are probably perfectly fine for mild adrenaline rushes, but for a really good thrill you need explosive acceleration into inverted loops.
This new coaster in Japan looks interesting. It's got a bit of a surprise in the middle....

There is however one situation where you should not actually have your hands above your head on a roller coaster. Particularly if it uses a lap bar and you have no legs...... In that instance you should be holding on very tightly and wondering why you did it in the first place. Originally Posted by Highplains Drifter

Steve, you are an evil man
......we used to call that ride the "bullet" around here and it is "nasty".........that one and the one you stand up in and it goes in a circle and then starts to tilt up........they are extreme cookie tossers.....I will stick to my roller coasters.......I like my Oreos to stay hidden!

It seems that HersheyPark is the place to go for "rollercoaster" junkies.
