AWESOME!!!

OK I was super scared of loops and I am so scared roller coasters in general, but let me tell you, I highly recommend it!

Answer 2

a loop is like feeling free like you can do anything. i mean your upside down for crying out loud. My first loop and the hangman in Valdosta, and it had corkscrews and everything. After that one time of riding it, i rode it 20 times IN A ROW afterwards.

Loop coaster are great! You don't need to fear them any more than you would a non-looping coaster. As for what it feels like to actually go through the loop itself... It's very fast and over soon. You will feel a slightly increasing pressure on your body as the train enters the loop. At the point just after the height of the loop, you will have 1-2 seconds of weightlessness... you feel the pressure release if you actually pay attention. But chances are you won't notice, you'll be too busy screaming. By the way, The best part of the loop experience is the view!

Everybody makes a big deal about loop coasters. But I am old enough to remember the "Corkscrew" coaster at Knott's Berry Farm. That ride had loops that you really could feel twisting. It went at a slower speed than today's loop coasters do so, it took longer to go through the loops.

Answer 4

The whole rollercoaster ride experience is intence.  The loop is'nt that bad...  Your only upside down for a few seconds, but it is a bit scary for some people...  Have Fun.

Answer 5

You got nothing to worry about. With the speed of the roller coaster, you will be in and out of the loop before you know it. Plus, they're fun. It is like a moment of weightlessness. Whatever you do, put your hands up and don't close your eyes.
