Magic Mountain In Valencia in Southern California has scarier roller coasters. Those days are over for me. I can still deal with Disneyland ones but not these types anymore.

Roller-coaster rides, I used to enjoy the old wooden structures at the beaches like Old Orchard, Salisbury Beach in New England and Mission Beach in California.

I wouldn't get on any ride like that anymore.

Best part about it is it only lasts about 40 seconds from the time it starts down that 1st steep drop to when it slows down at the end.

I only got as far the mid level coaster of ?55 yrs ago. Nothing like Morden day ones!

Interesting did not feel any physical reactions to watching this.

then go back and wait for that front seat, ride it again and however many times I could I LOVE this stuff. I hope they don't stop people because of their age because that will just kill me. I take my heart meds but if I go out on a ride like that consider it my perfect exit.
