I'd say yes, but I can't handle heights. Coasters are generally fine, but hot air balloons, skydives, bungees etc all make me cry like a little girl.

To this day my penis has never felt smaller than it did the day I was left holding my partners handbag whilst she went on the Florida Skycoaster. :/
 
Very much an adrenaline junkie, in it for the rush.That's why I love Rollercoasters, flat rides, motorsports and various other silly adrenaline things :D

However, things I do in these areas aren't just about adrenaline....
 
I love the thrills and feel of adrenaline. But not all of the activities that cause the rush. Things like bungee jumping are a no no. Ive always like rollercoasters from when I was diddy but things that are more extreme Im genuinely scared of. :L I found Rita terrible after riding stealth a few weeks before. Its sheer lack of OMMPHH!
 
Blackpool did have a SCAD (Suspended Catch Air Device) tower on it's south pier, I did the SCAD dive back in 2001 and I also did there skycoaster on two separate visit. The skycoaster was the scariest out of the two as you are the one that pulls the ripcord to release you. You zoom face first down and out over the pier and back forth again until you come to a stand still. The SCAD dive was over in seconds and you fall down back first. The SCAD dive was removed a good few years ago, I don't know exactly when. The south pier also still have the ejector seat/ball which I've never done. The skycoaster is also still there.

I heard off one of the South Pier staff that the SCAD drop was closed because it was that scary very few people would actually go on it, as it was a true freefall drop.
Never done any of the big rides on the pier as they are so expensive for what they are.
Strangest one was the zipline down to the beach that only ran at low tide.
I think that only ran for one season.
Would have been a great ride when the tide was in!
 
I remember you could also do a bungee jump of the top of the SCAD tower over the water. Each adrenaline attraction was around £15 per person (the skyscoaster was £15 per person based on two people taking part, so single riders paid £30). The more attractions you paid for on the day the cheaper it worked out per ride.

I never knew about the zip line though :D
