For some reason I just don't get the thrill of roller coasters...back when I still had fears of riding it seemed thrilling, but now that it's not scary anymore I just don't feel the same sensation.
Normally the sensation of speed and the effects of g-force should to the trick, not fear. For example you can feel weightless in certain loops of certain coasters.
I feel just like that, it's still fun riding and I'm not afraid now, but when I was afraid and dared myself and pushed the limits, ti gave an extra WUSH!
What exactly does the british royal family do? (other than cause most people around here to make fun of the british for living in a stone age where they still have unelected leeches)

The way people are going on about it, you'd think it was the second coming of cross. Next door put a Union Jack up, so I got out a huge Irish tricolore. Two can play at this game.
Nice one jph. Today new's was a live coverage outside the hospital. If they could, they would even enter Kate's room and see the baby birth to get viewing. And that's why media are a shitty business.

Head of state (and of 15 other nations), and, wonderfully, head of the state religion too.
Government's can only form with the permission of the reigning monarch, the monarch can dissolve parliament, the country can only go to war with the monarch's permission, the Prime Minister must have weekly meetings with the reigning monarch.
Those are the main ones. And to call us stone age is incorrect. We're not barbarians! We've progressed to round about this. Luckily:

Wow that looks pretty insane with all the twists and turns.
It wasnt as thrilling as I thought it would be. The climb up is fun, as well as going back down, but after that its not as great as you'd think. I thought the loop would be scary too, but if you were to blink you wouldn't have even noticed you just did the loop because theres hardly any G's.
Big Thunder Mountain at Tokyo Disney was better (I did it at night so it was pretty much impossible to see most of the time)
Spoiler
Edit: The fact it was nighttime when I rode it, probably made it better...
More like this, but I remember it being even darker. Still worth the 2 hour line too
Spoiler
Just got home, Phantom's Revenge is insane as the second drop is actually the one that gets you too top speed, and if you are not sitting up front you can't even see it coming, it just shakes your body around.
@547984 - I used to feel that way too, but now I want MORE!
@admirschleck - Aren't there any intense ones over there? I thought the most insane roller coaster in the world was Kingda Ka, where is that at?
@britishbabytalk - Who cares what it is, but if I may offer my irrelevant opinion, I am glad it was a boy rather than a girl.
