There's rides I won't ride that don't necessarily freak me out themselves, but the way they make me feel. I have a huge issue with my stomach feeling like its dropping when I fall straight down on things. That being said, Drop Tower is a no for me. I won't ride it. That and because I have an irrational fear of falling out of it (especially ever since the video was on the news of the kid slipping out of a similar tower). I love riding Orion, and made it my mission to ride it from every seat last summer. I rode in the very back row with my friends who are also coaster junkies, and we all said NEVER again. We all felt like we were going to get flung from our seats when we went down the first drop, which was especially fast because of the stalling and then all the seats in front of us lunging forward, so it felt like the drop x2 for us. It was awesome after that initial drop, but it freaked us all out a little bit. And I know I said NEVER again, but I'm probably going to do it again next summer lmao.

completely agree. i know this isnt super related, but thats one of the biggest reasons i like The Bat so much. it feels almost completely isolated from the rest of the park since its surrounded by trees. I wish the woodie coasters were more like that. Mystic Timbers is (kind of) but i wanna feel like im flying through the woods on The Beast, and its hard to do that when the trees are so far from it. Obviously safety is why its that way, but man I'd love it if it felt more isolated.

I love Banshee and The Bat. But honestly the rest of the area is meh to me. I don't care for Invertigo cause I went unconscious on it the first time I rode it, and congo falls just spooks me a bit. I've had times I've rode it and thought I was gonna fall out of the boat cause it legitimately threw me up from my seat (thankfully had friends I hung onto and practically clung to) but still kinda spooky. Anywho, I think it would be awesome to give the area some sort of spooky vibe. Maybe something like rivertown but more dark and spooky. Kinda like how in the fear street books/movies you have Shadyside (spookier, more dangerous) and Sunnyvale (wholesome, rustic small town vibes), you have Rivertown on one side of the park, happy go lucky, beautiful nature. But then the other side of the park has Riverwood, the spooky 'haunted' side of the park, haunted by The Bat, the Banshee. Could rename Invertigo to Screamin Demon as an homage like someone else said in the chat. Not sure what the Drop Tower could be renamed too or if it even would need to be renamed. I also know this would not make much sense with Mystic Timbers. Just a cool idea
