Im going on a rollercoaster for the first time...any advice?

Question

is it best to sit in the back or the front or in the middle? any other advice?

Answer 1

DONT EAT ANYTHING BEFORE THE RIDE. Plus, don't look down and try and hold onto your stomach. After the ride, you'll want to go get it where you left it during the ride. Have fun!

Answer 3

Hey :]

I went to alton towers yesterday for the first time and I wasn't really a fan of rollercoasters but my friends dragged me on all the big ones anyway! (oblivion, air, nemesis...)

My advice is just try and smile because this does make you feel better and actually helps calm yourself down! You'll enjoy it more if you keep your eyes open but if you do get too scared, just close your eyes and sing!

The rollercoaster will be over so quickly anyway then you can come off it and say you've been on one!

Oh and where you sit doesn't really make a difference but I prefer the front :)

Have fun :D xx

Answer 4

hold on tight, and DON'T LOOK DOWN!!! That is extreamly important.

Answer 5

by all means, sit in the front if you can. It's super scary, but also super fun.  Keep your eyes open, smile really big and have a blast!

Answer 6

front in okay: its like normal

back is the most intense, cuz its the one thats like kinda hanging and you feel the most on drops and stuff and middle is just normal, but its not as intense as the other too.

oh, make sure you dont keep ur head down, cuz if you keep it down you'll feel really sick and also you might hit your head on the hand bar thing.

and hold onto the bar if you feel uncomfortable.

:)

have fun.

oh by the way, at the very first drop when its slowly going up, its kinda scary especially when you see the "keep hands annd feet in" but it's fine after that.

Answer 7

Go all out!  Sit in the front and put your hands up!

I used to be the type of person who always sat in the middle and held onto the bar as if my life depended on it, but once I started getting more adventurous, I saw how much I was missing out on!!

Answer 8

Well I  personaly love roller coasters! I think they are a blast. Since this is your first time you may be a little nervous. But You should probably sit in the front. Even though it takes a litle longer and it is a bit more scary, it is way better. You can actually see where you're going. Instead of seeing the person in front of you. And you can actually say that you got on the front of your first real roller coaster. Plus, you may find it not as scary as you think and you might wanna do it again and again. My advice is to sit in the front... Not saying that you'll have a bad time in the back, though. Have fun and good luck. You'll do great.. Hope I helped!

Answer 9

middle or back for a first time

Answer 10

Just chill and enjoy it. If your stomach feels weird thats normal just remember that you're FINE........................

Answer 11

if its your first time, you shoud probably stay in the middle.....oh and remember to relax and keep your head back, if you lean it forward during the ride you could get whiplash or a sore neck.

Answer 12

This may sound crazy but I would sit at the front middle

You usually get more forces on the back of the ride

Just be calm

Bring a friend to scream in their ear

and just have fun

Answer 13

roller coasters are amazing!! but if your scared then sit in the middle so you dont feel everythign as much and just dont eat or drink anything before you go on. oh and just hold on tight =]

Answer 14

Middle...don't have any food / drinks before. You never truly know how strong your stomach is until you're dropping 50-200 feet from the air.

Answer 15

when you sit down dont thin k of it as scary, think of it like your gonna fly or something. the more you say you are scared, the more of a chance you will throw up because its all in your head

Answer 16

It depends on what you want.

The front is the scariest and most fun. But that has the longest queue as well.

The middle you see least. Thats both an advantage and a disadvantage. Least scary

The back you are last to work out whats going on and in a way that is scary.

First time I would go in the middle.

Answer 17

hold tight

the middle sit should be good so u can see whats coming

take deep breathes

you well feel weird with yur stomach its ok it just that your nerves

talk to a friend in till the ride starts

Answer 18

Its better to sit in the middle and if ur really scared close ur eyes through the whole ride.

Answer 19

First of all,don't sit in front!

Be sure to BREATHE.Trust me,alot of people make that mistake when they make it up the drop.

If you want,close your eyes,but I think it helps to open it because it makes the drop seem much quicker.[just my opinion]

SCREAM!It will help prevent that really bad feeling.

Answer 20

Don 't be drunk or eat ccorn dogs when you go on it.
