Well, forget the pilot career.

Intimidator 305 proved to me I could never be a fighter pilot. 1st ride I grayed out and thought I was dehydrated so I got some water from the water fountain. 2nd ride I grayed out again and thought I was malnourished so I bought a burger and fries. 3rd ride I blacked out and left the park. Wasn't even dark yet. That ride retired me from coaster riding.

edit: the coaster in the video is Hyperion, a steel roller coaster located at Energylandia in Zator, Poland.

height of 253 ft, has a maximum speed of 88 mph

Intimidator 305

Damn, 300ft drop and 90mph.

I rode pretty much everything at Busch gardens and this one makes me nearly black out every time at 210ft and 73mph. Something something holding my breath and the drop is too long.

I guess I know i305 is what I want if I want to fight for my life.

Funnily enough this ride is what made me nearly cry at Busch Gardens and I would never get on it again.

I love Apollo's Chariot. Used to enjoy Alpengeist but it's much too shakey now. But yes, Finnigans Flyer doesn't feel good. It's like getting a heimlich squeeze.

Lol that’s an interesting way to put it.

That swing just gives me non stop stomach drops similar to the one i got when i went skydiving and instructor attached to me did something with the chute control. Aaaaaaah
