Even if this doesn't include coasters, all of the Zamperla flyers are so scary to load on. The train MOVES through the station as you climb on, oh, and it is one of the worst coasters of all time, did I mention that?

Well it's not that scary...but I agree, the ride sucks.

I agree, I was sitting there thinking the track would just go down and the train would fall 1000 feet. Any of the rides at the Stratosphere are scary (but fun! ) just cause the view is incredible.

I'd have to say Chance Zippers. I always have a fear that the op is crazy and he's going to make the thing move before I'm all the way in (IT CAN HAPPEN...that's the scary part)

Other scary would have to be Floorless coasters. I have the feeling the floors gonna drop out while i'm standing on it. Hmmm, paranoid...maybe

EDIT: I have to also add the Chance Inverter. As much as I love this ride, and how the computer controls the restraints, I'm afraid that there will be a malfunction with my restraint and the computer won't show it so when the ride starts I'll fall out lol

Chairlifts...Having to hop onto the chair while it's moving makes me nervous. Never know when you can fall or jump too early. lol

As far as coasters go, I'd have to say Mr. Freeze because its a 2 loading shuttle set-up and I'm always afeared that the train will launch when were not lined up with the track and it will derail. Childish but still a thought.

As far as rides go, I'd have to say any ride at a homecoming, or fair. I don't think its the rides themselves, I think its the people who run them.

Tomb Raider: Firefall at Kings Dominion because I always think that my restraints will come loose. Another fear on that ride is getting stuck upsidedown on the ride if the power fails.

None are for me. Unless it's any of the rides on the stratospere tower, no loadings are scary. It's the ride itself, if it's even scary.

Anything with a moving station or moving trains during loading makes me nervous. I get worried my foot will get stuck or something, and I'll be dragged along.

Sometimes at water parks, loading into the big drop slide is scary, because I'm afraid that I will slip and fall down the slide face first.

Yea, the station doesn't move really but the loading dock with the rails and train on it move. The queue doesn't though.

im not sure if anyones said this or not, (im too lazy to read all 5 pages) but the scariest station/loading one ive ever been on would have to be high roller on top of the stratosphere casino. especially if you sit on the outside, which i did.

^ i know me to it is crazy. when you get into the car the bar is so small so you think you are going to fall right off the tower if you trip or something.

I think that the scariest loading things is anaconda at PKD because they unlock your restraint so you can put it down like 2 seconds before you leave the station!Sucky! But i still rode anaconda at PKD 4 times in a row and every one stared at me!

I'm gonna have to say Big Shot at Stratosphere. High Roller is the least scary coaster on earth so the loading is nothing. Big Shot, however, is a bit unnerving. On most space shots, the top part of the tower has some sort of cap on it. Something that lets you know that the car isn't going to shoot right off the tower. On Big Shot, the top of the tower actually gets smaller so you're thinking to yourself "What if they give this thing too much air? Am I gonna fly off this damn thing?" Impossible? Probably. But its still a psych out.

I have a pretty big fear of having Wicked Twister launching before I strap in. That would suck so badly if you werent strapped in when you are coming back from the face down side. I always an scared of my restraint coming loose on the Mantis. Before you go over the hill you are pushed against youre restraint and it feels as if it is going to fly open.

Yeah, but same with Xcelerator in your case. Not only is it impossible for the ride sequence to be initiated bye the operator in the "office" without all lap-bars lowered and the "clear" given by two other ride hosts by pushing a dispatch button, but even if it was initiated, the train rolls back for a few seconds and that's when you know to get the effff out!

Hydra the revenge, or any launcher. with out a lift hill to jump out on in case something doesnt lock, before an inversion. I rode hydra once, and it did not lock that one time.

edit: It did lock, just not as tight as usual. i'm Glad it didn't!

That reminds me, That ride REALLY hurt my legs!! ...Random!

Anyway...I don't think any of the loading is really scary....Or at least....i'm never scared the ride will start before im ready....I guess White Water Canyon at Wonderland just because it has the rotating table that is in constant motion while everyone loads. (Rapid ride)
