Best roller coaster for a beginner at Six Flags Great Adventure?

Question

I'm 17 and have always been terrified of roller coasters. After his begging, I promised my boyfriend that for his birthday I'd go with him to Six Flags Great Adventure, and I'm completely a nervous wreck. I need to get over my fear. What is the best roller coaster for me to start out on? If not a roller coaster at first, which other ride would help me be a bit more relaxed about riding a roller coaster?

P.S. The feeling of dropping is the thing that scares me about the roller coasters, although I'm not a huge fan of the heights either, but that's more of a minor concern.

Answer 1

might as well go on the scariest one first. after that you can take all the rest. thats what i did and i used to cry on the way to the roller coaster. LOL

Answer 2

Agree with above, start on the Runaway Mine Train then do rolling thunder.  Go on each a few times before you go on some of the bigger ones.  And another thing you could do (and I dont' know if this will help or hinder) but go to youtube and can ride these coasters virtually first ... get used the sights and sounds etc.

Answer 3

Runaway Mine Train is pretty tiny but still fun

Also Black Beard's Lost Treasure train is fun but very small

these will help you get started well

Answer 4

I thnk the best 1 4 a beg. is Skull Mountain, just bcuz is 1 of the babiest @ the park. This rollr coastr doesnt evn make u scream, just laff. My personal 1st 1 was superman, and tht helpd me get ovr my fears prtty well! Gud luck!  

Answer 5

you should start on something with maybe a 60 foot drop
