Not for me, since it's very fast and I don't realize it. I'm more affected by loops that take a few seconds.

Erm, actually🤓👆
Iron Gwazi at Busch Gardens Tampa is 206 feet tall, which makes that the tallest hybrid coaster

I actually think corkscrews are more intense then loops (this is def cuz at my home park, and corkscrews are the most intense part of the ride they are in, but idc)
On corkscrews, u get jerked to the side of whatever direction you are turning, causing discomfort
On loops, it’s it all one natural motion, with no weird stuff going on most of the time (some loops are intense-ish, like on inverted coasters, but they are usually smooth), so u don’t really feel it, unless it is really big

Scratching what I said in the previous post, on coasters like Cheetah Hunt (I’m only using my home park’s coasters, cuz they are the only ones I am familiar with), it feels natural, cuz it’s over a decent length, not whipping you around much
Inverted coaster’s corkscrews are still intense tho

i went on Kingda Ka a month before it permanently closed. The scary part was even the 91 degree drop, it was the climbing since u slow down and suddenly u r being shot like a bullet upwards with the feeling u r about to fall out of ur seat! I also like Iron Gwazi, many rollercoasters in the many Six Flags ive visited across the U.S. and Busch Gardens

I’ve never been on Kingda Ka :(

Only theme park I have been to outside of Florida is Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO, but that hardly counts cuz it was at least 5 years ago

the line was 3 hours even with a flash pass 😭
I never rode kingda ka either before it closed. I don't think I can tolerate such extreme acceleration, and I'm a car enthusiast who even did race-car ride alongs a few times, but over 125 mph in 3.5 seconds is extreme, 35-37mph/second. I couldn't tolerate a less extreme catapult launch on a smaller coaster I went on years ago, kingda ka would definitely make me black out and probably miss the rest of the 30 second ride. And after the drop it just flies into the brake run, no "ride" after that point even though probably going 110-115 after the drop would make a great full length coaster. Basically the whole ride just looks painful, and more for bragging rights than actual enjoyment.
All of this is why I loved Fury325, very thrilling but still just a regular rollercoaster, no absurd/demented elements like being flipped over/launched at insane G forces, no backwards stuff/spinning seats..etc, just a maxed out ordinary coaster. Even as it swerves down the track it does so in a way that's not jolting. El Toro would be my favorite ride at six flags if the roughness didn't feel like a full body concussion. That ride hurts. They supposedly retracked it to fix that problem but it's just as bad no matter where you sit. Nitro though is so smooth and comfortable seats you could take a nap on it.

U don’t like backwards either?
Spinning I understand, but why not backwards?

What do corkscrews feel like? Since you're also moving forward while flipping over sideways, is that very disorienting?
