Roller coasters and thrilling activities

Sassy Colombian · July 23, 2021

When I was younger I was a daredevil and
loved to do roller coasters or adrenaline pumping rides to get a thrill but since becoming a mom I have changed a lot and avoid doing risky stuff. However, on Monday we will taking our daughter to Universal and will also be going to Island of Adventure, they have some of the most thrilling rollers coasters in the US so my desire for that adrenaline has come back and if there is a ‘safe’ place for such rides it should be there. So the hubby and I are determined to ride the Jurassic World Velocicoaster

Does anyone else like such rides? Or what’s your favorite adrenaline activity?

I've got 1000s of stamps, from all over the world, I had a mail order thingy going in the 90s and used to keep all the unique ones. Doubt there worth much.
My dad was really into them in the late 50s and also collected loads, his are in 2 albums which ive still got, plenty from countries that dont exist now.

I actually lied about the stamp collecting. I was just trying to make myself seem edgy.

Not sure. I was in university in Williamsburg at the time.
Wild day

Looks amazing, used to love roller coasters in my younger days and did all the Florida parks, cant go on the tea cups without feeling sick now :/ the ups and downs are ok it's the spinning upside down I cant handle! Hope you and the family have a great time.

No and no.

Someone persuaded me to go on Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain when I lived in the US and when I got off my legs went as if I'd hoofed a half gram line of ketamine and I had to lie down for half an hour.

Not really into adrenaline, me. Although I do like driving fast cars, weirdly.

"The Six Flags at Magic Mountain; it's like hoofing a half gram of ketamine and having to lie down for half an hour"

I also collected stamps when younger. In Colombia the mail works different than in the US so stamps was novelty for me :blush:

Thanks @Tigger It is a new one, it opened last month so it is very tempting. Although I’m hoping I don’t get sick, my tolerance for such rides may be different now days.
