Is it reasonable to not ride the roller coaster?

I recommend riding roller coasters. I personally used to be very afraid of heights/falling/moving fast. I went to Cedar Point (usually rated the best amusement park in the world) and was able to ride the best coasters there without any wait. After riding the 40 story tall Top Thrill Dragster 10 times, I'm no longer afraid of heights at all.

ETA: Anybody have a guess why this was downvoted?
