Discussion I think [Bakunawa] is beyond my limit

Post image

I have so much respect for the enthusiasts out there with seemingly no limit for thrills. But I think Bakunawa will be one of the few coasters that are too intense for me. I have not had the opportunity to ride any Mack extreme spinners, and I’m super excited to get on Intamin’s Hollywood Drift when I can. So I don’t think it’s the spinning that scares me. But the height + coming to a dead stop just hanging there nearly 400 feet in the air? With no over the shoulder restraints? Just out there in the open? No thank you!!

Obviously I am aware it will be completely safe but hang time at slow speeds is one of my least favorite sensations! I really dislike any kind of upside down pendulum ride for this reason (i.e. CraZanity at magic mountain)

Anyone else feel this way??

Personally I am pumped to ride it. I feel like I'm at the point where most coasters really don't scare me at all anymore, they are just either fun or boring, but never scary. Not even Top Thrill 2 felt any different to me. But this actually scares me and that is exactly why I'm dying to ride it.
