It was some roller coaster at the fair. I don't remember which one, it might had been a caterpillar ride. I was fairly young, and I wasn't afraid of heights at the time.

I was maybe 8 years old, so 2005 maybe. Got on Ghost Rider at Knott's Berry Farm. I didn't like heights, but my sister and mother told me that the ride didn't go fast nor too high... After I trusted them and got on, I buckled my seat-belt and the ride started. *ch-ch-ch-ch-ch* the ride moved slowly up the hill, then it got a little slower and *trrrrraaaa* ride starts shaking, going pretty fast. We get to a turn and my belt felt pretty loose, all of a sudden at every turn my body would move around in the seats just enough to swing me off of the carts. Thankfully my mother and sister were were holding on to my arms, and yelling "Don't let go!". Before you knew it the ride came to a stop.

If you don't find ghost rider's pictures, then I'll give a description.
It's pretty much a wooden track with wooden carts, one seat-belt, and lot's of shakiness.

This happened to me on My second roller coaster ride, My butt was like off the seat, and I was grabbing my mom's hand because you know i was flying off the seat.

I hate roller coasters for the same reason I hate flying in airplanes (fear of heights). I've been on the Atlantis at SeaWorld (idk if that counts, but it was fast and had a giant drop) and the Tower of Terror at Disneyland. I also went on this one Log ride that started went up slowly like a roller coaster does (I hate that part) and then it was basically really fast in the water with a giant drop at the end.

I mainly like rides with giant drops but aren't really roller coasters, like the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios. I remember my aunt made me go on it, and she didn't tell me about the drop, so basically the entire time I was saying "Oh this is pretty boring" and then we came to the unexpected drop.

That feeling you get in your stomach during a drop bothers some people, but it doesn't bother me. Plus, the pictures at the end of the ride are always so funny.

I hate those unexpected drops.
