After two nights at Cedar Point, four relatively calm roller coasters, and a disgusting amount of fried, fat-laden food, this was officially the dumbest thing that I did.
Since Shawna fears rides like this, I had to ride alone.
And here was the outcome -
Apparently, the smile of terror never left my face during the ride.
I didn’t get sick or pass out, both of which I’ve done in the past at Cedar Point.
I didn’t scream.
I didn’t cry.
I did, however, wonder what it would feel like to plummet to the pavement below at a hundred miles per hour.
..which, thankfully, I didn’t do either.

That makes my stomach clench in terror just watching it.

At first my thought was “oh hell no; there’s not enough money in the world,” and then I realized that it doesn’t go totally upside down (which is what my first fear was in watching that video). So now, my conclusion is that my ass SO would have been on that ride with you!!
I can say that I am also thoroughly thankful that you didn’t plummet to the pavement at a hundred miles per hour.

That’s pretty brave, in a ‘not-sure-i-thought-it-through’ way
Glad your still travelling safe.
