Growing up in Pittsburgh, I spent a lot of time at Kennywood (w00t!), so roller coasters are no biggie. This Skyscraper looks like a disaster in the works. Yikes.

But nothing scares me like carny rides though. My cousin ran them for 10 years (small hands) and would tell me / show me how they put them together with whatever was laying around and left over The thrill ride at our fair growing up was always the Zipper (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf8UWcqw4Dk&feat...) and then they added the Himalaya (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmoUuZB2TBk).
