1) I don't know of anyone who has actually thrown up on a ride 2) they have these things called fences that make it so where you won't go under a coaster |

Coins are falling out of a person's pocket traveling at ~50 M.P.H. The terminal velocity of coins is about 65 M.P.H. and it doesn't take much to reach that terminal velocity. Getting hit by a coin going that fast, even if it has very little mass, would hurt quite a bit. Even though the rumor that a coin dropped off a building will kill you is false, it'd hurt just as much once it reaches terminal velocity. Besides, as was previously mentioned, they keep nets under areas of significant coin lossage. It's very unlikely anyone would be hit by falling change. Cedar Point once said they make $10,000 a year just on loose change. |

Re: Who likes rollercoasters?
Related story time! One time I had about 10 dollars in quarters in my pockets at a carnival (don't ask, I don't even remember why I got so many quarters), and I decided it was the perfect time to go on the zipper. You know, that thing which rotates, spins, and turns all at the same time? needless to say coins were FLYING and since it goes semi-circular many of the coins hit me on the way back up. It hurt. It was also hilarious. Until I realized I just lost about 10 bucks. My friend said he compared me to a slot machine which was delivering a jackpot. Gotta love carnivals.

Re: Who likes rollercoasters?
I love roller coasters but I hate them at the same time. Whenever I go on a rollercoaster with a huge drop. I can feel my body floating in the air. It is not a pleasant feeling. =(

Re: Who likes rollercoasters?
I hate roller coasters beacuse they always cause headaches. I also hate headaches because whenever I get one, I'm totally dead for the next 12 hours.
However, I do like 1000 feet free falls. ~Tsugomaru
