How to enjoy the "butterflies" on rollercoasters?

Question

Hey, I have a problem.

I am not afraid of speed or heights.

Thing that gets me the most is the butterflies. I been on batman viper(great america) demon. Only problem is that the first drops, and coasters with constant humps is the buttefly feeling. The feeling you get when you go down.

Maybe it's the idea of being out of control. Cuz I dont mind when your on a road that has alot of hills. But on a coaster, that's the worst feeling. And I want to reverse that. It's what your suppose to enjoy, but IDK. WHen I look at the big coasters, it's like some big torture divice.

Answer 1

All you need to do ius go on some smaller coasters first then u will be ok on the bighger ones

Answer 2

hmm i remember when that was me but i found out a way to cure that i found this out the second time i went on nitro a roller coaster in six flags great adventure. The Trick is to let your body very loose and you don't get those feelings if you keep your body stiff and tight you feel the butterflies even more but when you keep your body loose you can actually enjoy the ride and not feel a thing occasionally you do get those feelings but not as much as when you keep your body tight. o and on floorless coaster it also helps to keep your legs up

I love this feeling! There are those that love it, and there are those that don't. Since the height and or speed isn't what bothers you, just try to relax. The more tense you are, the more uncomfortable you will be.

Also, the more you ride, you will get used to it, and you could even get to the point where you rarely feel the "butterflies".

Just try to relax, bring some friends with you, and have fun!

It helps to tell yourself, "It's just a ride, nothing bad is going to happen." Another thing that helps is to close your eyes, but this kinda ruins the point of going on the Roller Coaster in the first place, doesn't it? I actually love the drops of Roller Coaster, it's the best part for me because it's also the scariest. Being scared can actually be fun!

Answer 5

You don't enjoy them they are just part of the experience, of course you are going to be nervous, but if you go on the same coaster, you probably won't get them as much. If you are going on a new coaster of course you'll have butterflies.

Answer 6

clench your body on the way down

it lessens the butterflies and feels fun too

Answer 7
