This thing is called Full Tilt, and it was so high up in the air, and swinging around and around....No WAY you'd get me on it!!!! (I'm a ride chicken at heart!!) And do ya think the folks on the ends fell out????

John from Geneva, United States
I'm not one for the "just swing me around 'til I barf" rides either, buit a good wooden roller coaster - Bush Gardens has a pair of great ones - is a fantastic ride.
Nice shot, and the fading corners is a nice touch too.

@John: I'll bet the roller coaster at bush gardens is nice to photograph, but i am DEFINITELY not a roller coaster kind of girl........got suckered once, into riding one (oh, just wait in line with me....blah, blah, blah....) but it'll never happen again!!!!
Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States
NO WAY JOSE! ... What is it that causes people to pay $$$ to be frightened? I don't get it. :D
Great shot, Susan, but gee, this is my second scary 'ride' this morning! I'm feeling queasy.
Did you see Gabriela's?
