What is it about roller coasters during the past 15 years that are getting more and more dangerous.
Remember Fabio getting hit in the nose by a bird while on a roller coaster.
I remember a few years back Cedar Point had a roller coaster they tested and a few dummies fell out. FELL OUT

(11,795 posts)I was just kind of shocked at my own reaction. I tend to have visceral reactions to things I find very creepy. Almost like a vaso-vagal reaction.

I rose that coaster while on vacation with some friends, and it was a fun ride. Busch Gardens also has a great safety record.
I will say I would never, ever ride "The Swarm."
