I've panicked several times on rides.

Once, when I was a kid, we were at Geagua lake (When Sea World was still open). My parents drug me out kicking and screaming on the wave pool. I was so scared about drowning that I kept running out of the pool. They grabbed me and pulled me back in when the waves started coming. I kept screaming that they were going to drown me. They swore they would hold on. Yeah, that didn't go over very well. As soon as the wave hit us, I went under and they both lost hold of me. I panicked until they got ahold of me again.

Then there was a time at Cedar Point after Demon Drop opened (yes, that many years ago). My brother's girlfriend at the time was with us, and she drug me on the ride. I was scared for my life (only ever been on one rollercoaster before that). I went, kicking and screaming. When we got off the ride, I was pale white and almost wasn't breathing. It freaked my brother's girlfriend out, and took about 10 minutes for the color to come back to me.

But, ever since then, I've grown to love amusement park rides. I guess we all have to face our fears at some point!

Fallen off/out, no
Cried, no.
Panicked, yes.
Many years ago at the county fair I took my oldest niece who was about 8 at the time on the skydiver. Since I am considerably larger than her the lap bar did not hold her in place, so as soon as we went upside down she started to fall out of the seat. I had to grab her and hold her in so every time we went upside down I was hanging from the lap bar holding onto her which meant all of my weight (did I mention I'm a pretty big guy?) and all her weight (she was a pretty big girl for 8) were on my stomach on the lap bar which was very painful. I also started to worry the bar might fail and we would both be bounced around it the cage of the ride. I have since learned just how unsafe soe of these carnival rides can be so I keep all my thrill rideing at major theme parks like Disneyland/WDW

I try to avoid rides like that. I'm not afraid of them because I understand the physics behind them and know that I'm not going to fall out, so if I have to ride them, I tend to ride in absolute silence and just grip the bars tightly so my knuckles are white. The coasters themselves are okay, I think it's the anticipation that gets me.

In July, I went to Six Flags in St. Louis with my boyfriend (a huge roller coaster fan) and promised I would ride some roller coasters with him. He wanted to ride The Boss, and I seem to remember screaming the entire time. Afterwards, I was weak-kneed and shaking, but he was having a great time. I will never understand how people can ride without holding on!

(I hate Space Mountain too.)

Oh god yes. This ride was a carnival game, that wasn't ran by electricity. The operator controled the ride, by handle. The ride, was a circle and in it was a harnest. The circle spon you upside-down and every other way. I got on the ride, and asked to get off, about 1 minute getting on. This happened years ago.

I have experienced almost falling off of Space Mountain too. I think it was on one of those sharp turns, and my upper-body kind of fell over the side of the train. I had my hands-up so I guess that was the reason, but I was soo freaked out!! I hold on to the bars now!! =)

i came close to panicking on the drop zone at king's dominion-i'm not a real big fan of heights. i used to just walk on past that thing and ignore it, but my oldest daughter decided she wanted to ride it and got my wife to go with her-i couldn't watch. of course, after that, my daughter was teasing me about being punked by my wife, so...there i was, over 250 ft up in the air, utterly convinced that i was going to die-either from the fall or from a heart attack-and i had to just keep grinning the whole time so i wouldn't ruin the ride for my daughter! that night i had a dream that some lunatic had gotten out of his harness and was trying to pull her out of hers and i was fighting him-i woke up screaming, and haven't been on the thing since, and have no plans to do it again, either
