What type of Roller Coaster is the scariest? Standup, or Sit down?

Question

I am not totally scared of rollercoasters, but I would like to try a standup coaster soon. I have noticed that people scream a lot less on stand up coasters than on sit down or lay down coasters.

What type of coaster is the scariest between the ones I mentioned?

Answer 1

SIT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  omg i hate those things!!

Answer 2

I think the stand up roller coasters are more scary...well not scary.  At Cedar Point on the Mantis, you have this very uncomfortable bicycle type seat up you bottom and then your legs turn to jelly while riding the ride.  There were sometimes when my legs hurt really bad after the ride and other times where I could barely walk after riding the ride (I was all over the place because I couldn't control my legs.)

Answer 3

I thought that stand-up would be way scarier, but weirdly it just makes me feel more secure.. =S

definitely sit down is waay scarier!

Answer 4

I did the riddler in six flags magic mountain and it was INSANE my legs turned to jelly and I felt like  I couldnt stand!!

But I think a hanging one is scarier!

Answer 5

The lay down ones.

For me, at least. It makes me feel like I'm restricted and in a straight jacket, which is not a very nice feeling at all.

Answer 6

dude sit down ones are scarier. idk y. its just like, your hunches in this lil car with only a lap bar to protect your butt from falling down. i hate sit down ones. stand up ones are awesome, it gives u a better sense of safety, you have a full chest harness, and it seems like your flying.

Answer 7

this is my opinion of the three type of roller coaster.

1) stand up one: to me it make me feel like I am gliding down in a parachute.

2) lay down one: feel like flying like Superman.

3) sit down one: I would say it be the scariest one of all. this one have more effect to your sense of balance. as you take that slow climb to the top of the track, as you start your descent you feel that yourself coming up out of the seat. then you take a hard turn (left or right) you wondering will it come off the track at that speed. as you come up to a loop da loop you're wondering will you fall out of the car as you reach the top of the loop (upside down) and down forget the quick turns as the car tilt right to left to right to left again before it straight up as it coming to the end of the ride.
