Brian Gongol
Dan went to the Wisconsin Dells this past week -- which put him in close proximity to the House on the Rock, which contains the scary Infinity Room. It stretches out more than 200 feet with a 150-foot drop to the forest below. This may have been the genesis of Brian's fear of unsupported heights, which apparently has no official name. Thus, while he has no problem going to the top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas, there's no way he's joining Dan for a ride on the roller coaster on top.
