    I like the old roller coasters, the old wooden ones that mainly rely on high hills, speed and fast down hill action. I don't like the newer ones that rely on loops, and tight turns (kills my back).

    They just keep making them bigger and faster...and scarier.

    I will probably never ride one again. I have no interest in going to an amusement park.

    Me either. I went to Disneyland in 1993. I don't need to go again.

    I pretty much avoid all crowds/crowded places.

    I went to Disney in the late 1970s. I know it is totally different now; but I don't care. I don't like crowds, I don't like lines, and it seems to be grossly over priced for what you get out of it. For a fraction of the cost you can fly to Mexico, travel to Playa del Carmon and go to their outdoor eco-park where you tube, swim, snorkel, jump off cliffs into the river, and see how far you are willing to swim from the river into the Gulf. That was a great day.

    I don't ride them anymore but would hate to be a parent watching while their child was on the ride.

    If I had a kid I would do it. But kids are not in my future.
