Getting dumped out of the Mondial shake at the Ohio state fair about 5ft scared the crap out of me, not to mention hurt like H***
I still got a purple thigh from landing on the rotor mechanism. Didn't they think to put a brake on the flip mechanism?
Chuck, who says there were 5 people manning the ride to help people out but none came over on that ride.
BTW, The ride rocks, It's called Magnum at the OHIO State Fair

Drop Zone or any drop ride for that matter scares the ever loving crap out of me. I don't know what it is but they don't suit me well.
Drop Zone get's me the worst as there is really no perspective to tell how high you are.

The Beast and Night, They go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly
Probably the Magnum the first time that I rode it in 89. I can remember thinking " What did I get myself into?" as we went up the lift hill.
I have overcome my fear of hights for the most part now and no coaster scares me, but was a little scared the first time that I rode Power Tower.

The worst day at Cedar Point is better than the best day at work.
2) Millennium Force, Sky Coasters (height)
3) The Beast (helix gets me every time)
Drop rides and launched coasters get me every time and although I like being scared, I much prefer rides that are just plain fun! I think Tower of Terror, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, and California Screamin' have a great mix, so those three are among by favorites anywhere. X and Xcelerator look pretty intimidating though!

Well to answer the other part of your question....
I never had even a slightest clue of what was in store for me when I hit Big Dipper at SFWoA. I said, looks small, maybe some nice ejector air. Back breaking first drop, back breaking second drop, up to the lap bar airtime, holy jeez!
X-Flight spooked the very first time I flipped over. I couldn't believe how hard you were being pulled on the harness.
wow...you ppl get scared on alot of things. when i first came back to the US in '99(my dad is military), i was 12yrs old and anaconda @ PKD scared me. in '00, i went to SFA with a friend and superman scared me to death. after that, i was ready for anything. to include what i had been on after that, here is an idea:
PKD(volcano, hypersonic, FoF, shockwave), IoA(incredible hulk and DD's), CP(MF, raptor, magnum, mantis, WT, etc.), BGW(Alpie and Lochness, AC was closed :-( .......and batwing @ SFA
for some reason, i sorta dont get scared. a little nervous, but not scared. although, i do agree with others here that the skycoasters are pretty freaky. even though PKD's doesnt pass 200ft, it seems higher than MF when your looking at the ground the way you are ;-)

while I was riding it, Lazer at Dorney scared me more than anything. I have never come so near to losing conciousness.
Before riding, Millenium Force without a doubt.
After riding: Space Mountain. It was my first coaster, and before I got on I didn't even know it was a coaster.
