How do i get over my fear of rollarcoasters?

Question

I am 13 and still scared of rollar coasters and i kinda get tired of my friends and my boyfriend makeing fun of me because younger kids are getting on it but i really cant help it.That feeling of like your going to fall out of a rollar coaster scares me the most but i guess its because i have only rode one kinda big rollar coaster which is the rebel yell at kingsdominion in virginia. But if you can give me some advice about my fear that would be great because its kinda annoying seeing my best friend ride all the rollar coasters with my boyfriend anyways thanks so much!♥

Answer 1

First you have to find out what part of it you fear most.

Is it the fear of getting sick?

Perhaps the fear of getting injured ?

If it is the fear of getting sick, I would suggest that you take some motion sick pills a few hours before riding rides along with avoiding food and drink prior to the ride.

Answer 2

Just go on one and have fun i was scared to at first, but it's so much fun. I got on one for the first time at 12.  

Answer 3

Suck it up and go on one! youll be hooked!

Answer 4

If you get that feeling in your stomach that's a good thing. That means the roller coaster designers did their job correctly. Roller coasters are safe and they are supposed to make you feel like you are going to fly outta your seat, but you just have to remember that. And some people just plain ol' don't like roller coasters. I say the more you go on the more you'll get used to them. Start on smaller ones and work your way up to the big scary ones!! ^_^

Answer 5

Rollercoasters are meant to be scary, but in a fun way! :)

I'd say go with what the above ppl say, start out on a smallish one, but expect to be scared.  Just know in your heart that plenty of other people ride them and live.

Enjoy the thrill of thinking your going to fall out, but you will be safe the whole time.

Also, take a mate with you who -wont- make fun of you.  Being with someone else being scared and having fun is what amusement parks are all about lol.

:)

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

you are soo cute.

i got my daughters to ride on the Dominator and they are only 10 and 8/12.

Know this.  You will never fall out of the coaster if you are strapped in correctly.

The coaster will always have safety system so that the coaster never leaves the track.

Most coasters like the dominator will always push you into the seat.  It is the only coaster that I would ride unharnessed.

Now if you know Kings Dominion, start with the Ricochet, it feels just like a fast sports car.

then go to the coaster that looks like Mini Coopers.  Pretend you are in a sports car.  It feels exactly the same.

Then move to the Grizzly.  If you can handle this,  it is the most violent ride, you can handle anything in the park.

good luck and enjoy the thrills.

Answer 9

Face your fears.  I think if you ride them over and over you will get used to it.  If you don't just tell them you don't like them making fun of you.  My wife doesn't like roller coasters and i'm just fine with that :)

Answer 10

don't think about it just close your eyes think of happy thoughts i was young when i started riding rollercoasters fast scary ones.

Answer 11

Now if you see any at the fair that their like round and go fast those mite help you get over the speed.

You can also ride little roller coasters these can help you also

Now i went to wet'wild i was SCARED to get on.

But mostly these rides are fun and they did help me get over my fear

Now this are my tips

Ride the rides you like and who knows

they can help you get over it

Answer 12

When I was 11, my brother tricked me into getting on a looping roller coaster by telling me it did not go upside down.  I became addicted to them after that, although I was scared to death that first time.  It was the flight of fear at kings island.  You can't see the tracks because it is inside of a building.  

Answer 13

GET ON ONE!!! YOU'LL LIKE IT!

Answer 14

ride one

Answer 15

Do not be ashamed. You are definitelynot the only one with that fear. You have two choices depending on your determination. Either pick a smaller roller coaster and gradually make your way to the scariest one or get to the scariest one and ride it several times to get your body used to it! YOU CAN DO IT!

Answer 16

What you do is go on a smaller roller coaster such as the s****. Doo rolller coaster then work your way up to the Dominator if you start small and ride with a loyal friend your do great. Good Luck

Answer 17

Okay, you don't get over that fear.  It's in your head.  Either you like them or you don't.  I guess if you ride them a lot you might find them fun, but it all depends on your outlook on them.  Do you find them fun, or do you hate them?  If you hate them, you'll have know fun, if you find them fun, you'll love it.  You just have to tell yourself that you'll have fun, and ride more.

Answer 18

it's true the only way to get over your fear of riding a roller coaster is geting on one but you have to get on one that has alot of loops. or you could get on those fake coler coaster rides that are in arcades. either way you''ll get over it someday

Answer 19

just go on them , it doesn't matter if your scared, I'm scared the first time  go on a new rollarcoasters but after words I always feel great !

thats the only way to over come it .

Answer 20

They are much less scary if you sit towards the back. The ones where your feet hang make you feel more secure and better strapped in. Its a good place to start. I was afraid at your age too. But I just started going on them so my friends didn't know how scared I was and then all of a sudden I was afraid any more.

Answer 21

ride one best way to get over a fear is to experiences it

Answer 22

Start out with the smaller kiddy coasters and work your way up, you will get used to them and probable come to enjoy them, fear must be faced and conquered. A Coward dies a thousand deaths a brave man dies but once.

Answer 23

do what i did.

just go on it and suffer the whole way round. i went on the pepsi max in blackpool and died. now i can go on any.

Answer 24

I was scared of roller coasters once but now i'm not afraid anymore.

What you should do is go on a kiddie roller coster like one for kids and just get used to that one. Then from there gradually go to faster and taller roller coasters. Get used to each roller coaster you go on. This helped me a lot and I hope it helps you!
