Riders scream as they spin to and fro on the new roller coaster, Aftershock, at Silverwood Theme Park Monday. It was the first day for the ride. The ride takes riders as high as 191 feet above the ground, 65 miles per hour and up to 4.5 G's. You can read Erica's story here, and see Jesse's slideshow here.

Question: Do you plan to ride Aftershock this year? Or do you generally avoid ha-huge roller coasters and other scary rides?
