Answer 1

I had the same problem.

I'm not sure where it comes from, but if does.

Whenever I went on a roller coaster (if I even went) I had my teeth clenched, my eyes shut tight, and I held on the the handlebars with all I could.

I think the best way to get over your fear is to start out small. Go on all the smallest (and I don't mean kiddie) rides in the park. Then, gradually make your way up as you get comfortable.

Its good to have someone with you. I had my sister who loves roller coasters, and she told me to come with her. I was scared, I admit. She took me to the first row (supposedly "the best" seats) and told me to keep my eyes open. I did. I screamed the whole time, but I did. And to tell the truth, I like going on the big coasters now.... :D

So when you're ready, find a BIIIIG roller coaster, ride it once or twice to get comfortable, then go on it again, sit in the first row, and keep your eyes open during the ride.

I bet you'll want to let go of the handles yourself....

Hope this helps.

:D

Answer 4

the way to lose your fear is to face it.  just make yourself go on a big coaster the first thing when you get there, then you'll be able to enjoy the rest of the time there.

Answer 5

First of all, you have to know that thousands of people, worldwide, everyday, experience the same thing as you do.

My advice to you would be what I did (because yes, I honestly hate roller coasters as well). I started out at a small ride (one that only goes about 20 miles per hour (top speed)), then once you have gotten comfortable with that ride, go to another ride that has a slightly higher drop / top speed, and work your way up from there. It took me about 10 rides to do it, but I did eventually lose MOST of my fear.

Hope that helped!
