Upside-down roller coasters...?

Question

I live in San Antonio texas and there is this new ride at six flags called the Goliath. I have never been on an upside-down roller coaster before and every tim e we go there and I consider riding it I get scared and chicken out. Do you feel like you are going to fall out on the loops and are they scary? Also are they scarier than hills? Thanks.

Answer 1

I actually feel safer on the upside down coasters, because they have a shoulder harness locking you in. I hate those coasters the just have the lap bar going across your lap. Those should be the ones that you should be afraid of.

Answer 2

DUDE I LOVE ALL ROLLER COASTERS!!! And they aren't that scary they look really scary but they are SUPER fun! and no you don't feel like you're gonna fall out b/c it goes fast and your locked into the seat and secured to make sure you don't fall out! and when you go on hills hmm...they are both rly fun!

just do it and have fun!

Answer 4

O man it is so awesome you really should try it.I went to busch Gardens in tampa that was awesome you would have a blast there not that scary at all.

Answer 5

I was the same way!  I went on my first looping coaster in the begining of the summer!  The best way to get over ur fear is 2 watch little kids ride the ride cause if they can do it, so can u!  You also have to realize ur probably gonna love it when u get off!  U also barely feel loops!

Have fun :)

Answer 6

If you have ever ridden the Batman ride at Six Flags in Arlington TX or the Great White at Sea World San Antonio... They are the EXACT same ride as Goliath (just different names).  If you have done one at one of the other parks, you can do Goliath too.  If you haven't ridden one of the others, I'd give Goliath a shot.  The ride is a great one... you hardly realize that you've gone through the loops becasue you are already right-side-up again.    

Answer 7

No way! you can barley even tell your going upside down!

OMG! i use to be the same way! but my friend got me to go on one and i am HOOKED on rollercoasters Now!

go for it!

your safe.

and you've got one life to live!

haha. being chicken and scared won't make a life to remeber!

JUST DO IT!  

Answer 8

You don't even notice it, because it goes by so fast, and it feels good!

Answer 9

I haven't been on that particular roller coaster but I've been on a couple upside-down ones and I LOVE THEM!!! The only really scary part is waiting in line when you get all nervous and going up a hill can be scary too but usually once you go down a first hill it just starts being really fun and when you go upside down you can just see the sky and it's awesome and usually you don't feel like you are gonna fall out because you are really secured in the seat and feel pretty safe so it's just fun.  

Answer 10

I used to HATE loops. I was so afraid to go on them, i thought i was going to fall out, or get sick, or have a heart attack, haha. Then i finally rode the rocknroller coaster at disney world and ever since then i can ride ANY rollercoaster. I actually love loops now. I can ride a roller coaster with like 10 loops. You can barely tell your going upside down. And they aren't suspenseful like hills at all. Defiantly go on it. :]

Answer 11

you kind of feel your stomach drop that bout it  

Answer 12

They are a little scarier than hills, but not much. When you go through a loop, the centifugal force keeps you in your seat. Even if you stop in the loop during a breakdown, the over the shoulder restraint will keep you in your seat. Hope this helped!

Answer 13

tbh your going so fast you don't exactly know the difference apart from it feels GREAT!

Answer 14

Loops aren't scary at all! You are tightly strapped in and the force while going through the loops makes it feel like you are strapped in even tighter. Go with some friends who won't let you chicken out. You'll have a blast.  

Answer 15

You barely feel like your going to fall out... Because the roller coaster is going so fast you dont have time to fall out lol... Its a lot of fun and once you ride it once you will want to ride lots and lots more!!!!

Answer 16

no it actually doesnt feel like you will fall out. you actually barely notice unless you pay close attention to the track. loops are very fun, and no they are not scarier than hills. I hate hills because they hurt my stomach. but there fun anyways. and think of how proud you can be if you try it!! your reaction after will probably be "why was I scared of that?"lol good luck

Answer 17

Actually, scientifically (sp) the g forces you get from the car pushing against the coaster while your going upside down keep you in your seat. These g forces negate the force of gravity pushing you down for a moment so if you didn't even have  a shoulder harness you wouldn't fall out, it's impossible
