How to get over your fear of REALLY BIG rollercoasters and rides?|112779

Ok we are going to an amusement park for a field trip in 2 years, but I wanna be prepared for the big rides that have. Please answer! (and plz dont answer just like _do it_ cuz that doesnt help that much, thanks tho)

Get in line with your best and most trusted friend (who is not afraid). Get on the ride, hold your friends hand, close your eyes and go for it. It works. Just remember, you have a better chance of biting it while driving to the park.

there IS no way to tell you how to conquer your fear without telling you to just do it. Any fear you have about anything can only be conquered by facing it.If its flying go fly If its fear of the coaster then just go on it. You will notice your are strapped in sometimes with a huge bar harness. It looks intimidating cuz its big and has loops and turns. It also goes fast but all in all you will get on it and once you do you ll find that you were afraid for nothing. It might be the most exhilarating thing you_ve ever done. Sometime we fear things and the mind like to play tricks on you because of the fear. You start asking those what if questions and the fear gets bigger until its like a big phobia. the only thing that needs to be feared is fear itself. Yes there are times when things need to be feared especially when there is a clear possibility you could get hurt. Standing next to a cliff with no rope or safety harness, being around wild animals that could injure you or even kill you. That fear comes from using your head and respect for safety.
People get into cars everyday without a second thought. Sometimes they don_t wear their safety belt, they are distracted by the radio or phone and not paying attention, or they fail to use signals. The chances of getting injured are almost 20 times greater than some of the things that people fear doing.

all depends on why you are afraid. for me roller coasters just don_t *look* stable enough, in spite of evidence to the contrary. but I found that I quite enjoyed space mountain where I couldn_t see the tracks. it may help to research the safety of the rides because it might put you more at ease. I used to be afraid of even the carosel but now I love the tilt o whirl. I still can_t go on a lot of rides though. don_t force yourself to go on the really big ones. amusement parks have more than just rides and you can always tell your friends that you simply prefer playing the games. that way you don_t seem like a fraidy cat.

Okay so it was 6th grade, we had to go to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and all my friends were rollercoaster freaks.. and i didn_t wanna act all scared of roller coasters so I was paired up in a group with them and so I was required to go wherever they go.. I was like really scared!

How did I get over it?!

I went to Great America a few weeks before
and went with friends that I was sorta close to
and went on a HUGE rollercoaster
with a loop and after, I was really dizzy lol.
But I felt so brave because it was really fun!
I attempted to go to Medusa in Six Flags [the big green one]
and i actually went 2 times! It was so much fun.
Keep in mind, I was only in 6th grade, 11 years old lol..
Just think like, why are you afraid?! Your not going to die?!
_ after you get over it, you_ll be a rollercoaster freak, like me!
You just get really dizzy after, but thats the fun part lol!

Good luck_3

i was dead scared of roller coasters since i can remember
and i hadnt even ridden one before, just i was so scared i couldnt even ride one
couple months back i went to an amusement park
i started off at the _scariest_ roller coaster there, according to my friends
anyway i had never ridden one before, but i just sucked it up and gave it ago.
after that first one, i got friggin hooked and went round riding every one of them haha
so my advice is, just shut ur eyes and take a dive, and after the first one, it should be aight.

Go to Six Flags or some kind of amusement park near you and start on the little ones and move up to the big ones. Your more likely to get hurt or die on the way to an amusement park than at one. Just remember that and you should be fine. Roller coasters aren_t so bad.

Try a smaller ride. Then challenge yourself and go on the bigger one. Tell yourself it_s just a ride, only a big one and it_s cool to try something new.

best thing to do is go on the ride... you_ll get a funny feeling in your stomach, and you either like it or you don_t... sorry it is blunt but that is the truth.

i ususally just scream at the top of my lungs and say i_m having a blast even though i_m a little scared. it_s also good to have your best friend near to hold a hand!

The most scary part of any ride is the take-off..Try to relax....Keep ur eyes closed all the time of ride.........and hold tightly on the handle (....AND NOT THE HAND OF UR BELOVED)...u will miss the actual fun...but it won_t feel that scary!

Try starting off on small rides- like rides at the fair and such- then work your way up to the more intense rides.

Seriously, just DO IT!!!

I did it, and oh my god, I am so proud of myself!

I went from never going on roller coasters to flying upside down on the raptor!

Go with your friends beforehand or some person you have a crush on that likes coasters. They_ll get you to try it once and then It_ll be easy. hehehe

try to get on the rides at the fair... and try not to be scared feel invincible

just doin it is the only way to get over your fear
