Stealth scared the crap out of me while I was waiting to ride it the first time because I was unsure what to expect and it looks intimidating from the line standing under the Horseshoe and next to the loop. Sadly the ride didn't end up scaring me at all and I was let down, It's fun and all but not at all what I had hoped and expected. However the Big Shot didn't bother me at all while I waited because I'm not a big fan of S&S Space Shots they don't do anything for me. But it ended up scaring me so badly I had to re-ride it because I couldn't comprehend what had happned the first ride. The ride is nothing like the others

The Drop Zone the very first time......I was with another friend which was his first time. We start acscending and I can feel my heart beating so hard. There is a point to the ride where it ALMOST stops. At this point I was thinking "oh my God this is so high.....at least it has stopped now" My friend looks at me in horror and says "Look up" I look up and we weren't even CLOSE to the top. I loved it. The scariest part to any of those drop tower is the "wait".
The VERY first time I rode any drop tower....it was the Demon Drop at Cedar Point 12 years ago during my high school senior trip. I almost chickened out. I contemplated and contemplated all day long. Finally I got up the nerve. I was almost crying I was so scared. Waiting for that thing to drop was the most terrifying thing I have ever been on! I did it and not long after that the damn thing became literally "wedged" at the top. I don't remember how they got the people down but it was quite a site. They still make me nervous but I have always loved them.
The MF, Xcelerator, and Hypersonic gave me the shakes after the first time each, but I love them.
Riding The Beast the first time when I was 10 or so was scary.
But the most recent has to be the SLing Shot......watching those chords (tighten) up made me uneasy.
My first Skycoaster experience wasn't nearly as scary as the Sling Shot.
1 Superman for the first time at MM
2 X at MM
3 TwisterII at EG
4 Wildcat at EG now defunct
5 Shaboigan in Rio de Janero
For me it has to be the Big Shot at the Stratosphere Tower. When it is windy and you can feel the tower sway before you ride...it's pretty freaky. I never screamed so loud on a ride in my life. On the second launch I was able to look out around the city, which was awesome. Next time I go back to Vegas, I'll ride that a few times instead of hitting ME or Speed. BTW, I thought that the High Roller there would be pretty scary, but the only scary part, to me, was getting into the car. The rest of the ride gave me the ability to sightsee from about 950 ft in the air. :)

The ice age killed the dinosaurs, we killed ourselves.
Millennium Force.
When I went on right as I got to the station I backed out because it was so tall and steep. I finally went on though and liked it.

You're probably kicking yourself now for not doin it the first time :)
The scariest ride I ever went on was my first ride on Flight of Fear. It was my first launch coaster, and boy did it look scary in the station!
