Test of bravery - JFrombaugh - 04-19-2014
I've long had this bizarre thought and felt that some fellow FF RPers should see it.
Let's say that you have a choice for something to do to prove yourself, akin to a Detour in the Amazing Race. You can either:
1. Meet the following Final Fantasy characters:
-Terra
-Celes
-Tidus
-Yuna
-Minfilia
Each will come, one at a time & in a random order, to your house by means of a void portal. You will spend approximately 30 minutes talking to, and getting to know, each character before they leave and the next one arrives.
2. Ride the new for 2013 Iron Rattler roller coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. This is a revamped version of the original Rattler wooden coaster which uses steel topper track, allowing the ride to have a corkscrew halfway through and do other overbanked maneuvers.
Height: 180ft
First Drop: 170ft at 81 degrees
Top Speed: 70mph
Length: 3,266ft

So, which one would you be more nervous about doing? Personally, I'd say the roller coaster. I would definitely be nervous about meeting FF characters (just like meeting celebrities), but that Iron Rattler? Oh HELL NO. That was way too scary just watching the video!
