Ferris wheels and sky rides. The double ferris wheels really get me badly. White knuckles the whole time. I also get pretty freaked out when on a sky ride, the car swoops out of the station and gets tugged along to the max height. Then when the car would bump over the pole attachment places. There my sister is, enjoying herself and hating roller coasters, and I'm just taking deep breaths until we get to the next station. My family loves to tease me about these things.
The rickety roll-o-planes at carnivals scae me badly too. I'd love to try out a Zipper ride though.

Interesting mix of opinions here. I'm scared of heights and have zero problems on any coaster once the first drop staightens out (and I don't think even then anymore - just the anticipation while going up the lift).
Drop rides scare me, but only the really intense ones (First Gen Intamins and Drop Zone at PKI). In an enjoyable way, of course.
The rides that terrify me in a bad way: Bungee/skycoaster rides that only have a steel cable with no safety backup and Sky rides. Ferris wheels get me too.
I can only guess that the security of the safety designs on coasters and rides make me feel better.

I used to get scared out of my mind every time I rode Giant Drop but now it's like eh, it's not THAT tall! Other than that, I always freak out right before the double loop on Shockwave because I know the extreme pain that is about to confront me.

The Williams Grove Cyclone. I'm always scared I won't be seeing the station again. I'm sure many will agree.
I still have drop rides. I go on them I guess because the first two or three seconds of the drop I get the "OMG I'm gonna die" feeling. Then I adjust to the drop and I'm usually fine. For some reason when I rode the PittFall at KW I was freaked out all the way down.
