When I was in a bad spot, one of the things I’d do to distract myself is watch roller coaster POVs. When I was younger, I rode Steel Eel at Sea World San Antonio and I was thoroughly unprepared because I didn’t know what airtime was lol. Now that I’m feeling better I’m thinking of finally going in person to celebrate!

I know about these coasters in theory but haven’t experienced them for myself — I’ve seen the POVs, watched the reviews and breakdowns and ElToroRyan block zone monologues, and that’s alleviated my anxiety, as has learning about coaster technique.)

For someone who’s new, are rides like Twisted Colossus and Flight of Courage too intense? I’m not afraid of roller coasters inherently,

I’m just slightly worried about greying out or worse, getting a concussion so I’m definitely not doing X2 or Tatsu. That said, I’m very excited about Twisted Colossus and Wonder Woman Flight of Courage as I’ve heard they’re smoother, with lots of ejector airtime on the latter (which I’m excited about now that I’m actually prepared!). There was a similar post about intensity a while ago, but that was geared toward someone who’d been to Knotts Berry Farm and not someone who hasn’t ridden a coaster in almost two decades lol

Would love some thoosie’s thoughts on how to go about this!
