I am going to a theme park on Wednesday, i am a bit scared of the rides, do you have any advice and tips?

Question

I am going with my very good friend and he wants to go on the very big rides, i'm a bit scared of the big rides, but want to go on them so much, i think partially my fear is that i weigh 242 pound and i can just picture not fitting in the seats and get turned away in major embarrassment, but also a bit scared, can someone help, i feel uneasy and nervous, i don't have time to lose weight as its in a couple of days...

Answer 1

just think it will only last one day and you will some day look back on that day so, make it a fun one.

Answer 2

heh i know how you feel. i was scared of them too but i got over it im only 12.what i did on my first time going on a ride with loops and stuff......this will be weird but.....i closed my eyes pretended i was jamesbond and sang that theme song.

Answer 3

Don't eat too much before (obviously)

And SCREAM your lungs out during the rides! Screaming vents out your fear and anguish and releases the stress ball forming in your gut.

Answer 4

Just do what you're comfortable with.  From what I've found, the "tamer" rides sometimes are actually more of a tighter fit because their designed for younger people.  Your fit might be a bit snug on the bigger rides, but you should fit without embarassment.  

Most of the rides you can see from the ground as they go past.  Just watch them go by first and make your judgment from that.  Look at the people on the ride and in line.  

Just use your best judgment and have fun.  Parks are full of rides.  If you're uncomfortable with one, just know it's an opportunity to spend that time riding and enjoying a different one.

Answer 5

Look at the website for the park you're going to; it may have information on ride access for larger people.  For example, here's Cedar Point's:

Answer 6

dude i was **** scared of "big" rollercoasters before I actually went on them. The hardest part is actually queing and getting on the ride if your scared of them, but once your on you forget what you were afraid of, trust me! Now i love rollercoasters!

I'd just try to talk to your friend whilst waiting to get on the ride so you dont think about your fear.  As for your weight , its fine you'd have to be much bigger than that ,to not fit!

good luck

good luck!
