Aw man now I just want to go even more badly haha! I've heard great things about Cheetah Hunt, and iirc Sheikra is a sister coaster to BG Williamsburg's Griffon (which I absolutely adore!!)

Things like ferris wheels are okay if they aren't too shaky but everything else is a big no. Horrible, fast-moving things will make me feel sick.

I like riding rollercoasters but I have yet to ride one that has more intense twists and turns like those ones with the loop-de-loops
too scared of those but maybe someday I'd be brave enough to ride one

I adore them, the more intense the better! The high is indescribably awesome and addictive. I love riding them with my friends and family too, I swear there's something about them that helps you bond.

For me it depends. <:{
I get major anxiety on most rides. Even on the ones that I've been on already. <X] It's just the atmosphere and the whole line waiting I think that makes it worse.
And it doesn't help if you get motion sickness. <XC
But I've been more comfortable on small coasters mostly. 8( I won't go on BIG BIG ones!

Buuuut, one exception is The Silver Bullet at Knott's Berry Farm. Which is a suspended coaster. >u>; And I always got anxiety in line...but once I got on I was fine. I could only ever ride it twice before I started to feel like I was gonna hurl tho. >~>; Never ride it 3 times in a row.

Now, I don't think I'll be getting on a coaster for a few years! o_o;

I like moderate rollercoasters, but only moderate rollercoasters. Nothing extreme. Six Flags is completely off of the table for me. The most I can do, honestly, are the basic rollercoasters at Disneyland: Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Anything more, I get way too nauseous and get super motion sickness and can't go through the rest of the day without a headache/dizzyness. And also, bigger rollercoasters just aren't.... fun? for me? They lose the theme and I feel like the point of the bigger ones (most Six Flags coasters) are just there to make you puke.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE them a bit too much. Especially the upside down ones

Last time I ride one I was literally screaming and laughing at the same time

This is weird because I went through a phase where I hated rollercoasters and refused to get on them. Then, I went through a phase where I absolutely loved them, and I'd ride on literally any coaster, even the really scary ones. THEN I think I watched Final Destination 3, and that put me off ever going near one again. It's just not worth the risk, and the idea of being injured on a coaster is too horrifying.

Your short height shouldn't deter you from riding coasters. Height requirements are made for a reason, and so long as you meet the height requirement, you'll be fine. Safety tests for amusement park rides are under rigorous inspection and laws. Plus, almost all coasters have a seat belt in addition to a lap bar or shoulder harness, so in the extremely small chance that the restraint would fail, you wouldn't fall out due to the seat belt.

@martinseptim
On a similar note, roller coasters and amusement park rides are extremely safe. You are much, much more likely to have an accident riding in or driving a car than you ever would riding a roller coaster.
