Fear of theme park rides?

Question

hi, im going to alton towers theme park with my best friend her boy friend and few of his guy friends ive been before but i have relaly bad vertigo when it comes to most rides i really want to make a effort to go on them this time as you only live once! this'll prob be my last time ever going to the theme park now has anyone got any tips i could use to brave myself going on these rides

Answer 1

Just do it babe.... I have been on the Sky Coaster in Orlando , and i have a fear of heights!....even though its 300 foot high.

Your completely safe and its good fun!

Answer 2

Its Easy.  All you have to do is just relax and look at the coaster how it is.  It's really just a machine that goes in circles.  Just dont get scared once you get on and just imagine this as a kiddy ride.

                              Thx

Answer 3

If you don't like going on those rides you probably shouldn't (you might get sick and it'll ruin your day).

Answer 4

THERE ARE QUITE A FEW THINGS TO DO THAT DON'T INVOLVE THE MORE "ADVENTUROUS" RIDES

STAY ON THE SMALLER ONES  OR VISIT ONE OF THRE TEA ROOMS

IT'S POINTLESS RUINING YOUR DAY BY TRYING TO HIDE/OVERCOME YOUR FEARS JUST DUE TO PEER PRESSURE

YOU DONT LIKE IT - IF YOUR FRIENDS CAN'T COPE WITH THAT - SOD EM!

Answer 5

really its a fear of being scared its that first hill really or that first drop your scared your gonna get sick your mind is telling you your scared when you probably not scared so tell you self I'm not scared and get on the rides afterwards you'll be so happy you did and have fun

Answer 6

Hiiii

My best friend is like you. She doesn't like going on rides. When i first wet on a proper rollercoaster it was Air in alton towers i was like no way am i going on that thing, but when i had been on i i was like i want to do that again. You just have to tell yourself you are going to do it, because as you say you only live once! Hope this helped and good luck !! xx

Ps. If you want to look at the rollerocosters that are in alton towers heeres the website : www.altontowers.com

Answer 7

I'm scared of heights but I still went on it for the rush and knowing that its an experience

Answer 8

just dont think about the bad things that will happen and if your really scared close your eyes.

Answer 9

hello =]

i used to have the same problem until about a year ago.. the way i got over my fear was to go on the biggest ride first and just say f it basically.. i bought a fast pass for stealth straight away, so i didn't have time to size up the ride i just jumped straight on with my mates (yes i was pooing myself) but after the ride i just had such an adrenaline rush and i wanted more and more... i was like a kid in a candy shop.. opened up to a new world!

to be honest just go for it and enjoy yourself and the main thing is to relax!

p.s if youve been on oblivion you have nothing to worry about

hope that helps you =]
