I was visiting my buddy down in Phoenix in 2001
And the D-backs were in town – I was considering going down to the BOB for a game, but it was blazing hot out. His then-girlfriend (now wife) said, “It’s ok – they’ll have the roof closed!”
I shuddered at the concept of indoor baseball. Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it, I guess, but it’s not my cup of beer.

No.
I HATE heights and going upside down.
It has nothing to do with safety. In fact, things that just go fast are usually fine. I love spinny rides. But I hate high places and flipping scares the daylights out of me.
