I'm going to the local ammusement park and I'm really scared of rides. Is there a way of over coming this fear? I always think I'm goign to fall off and stuff and I always get this feeling in my stomach like butterflys. Help?? How to overcome this fear and what I should do? All my friends arnt scared except for me I dont wanna wait for them while they line up

Answer 1

go on one. i cried the very first time i went on a huge "big kid" ride. but i still get nervous. i think you just have to get used to it. i hate that feeling so much

Answer 2

I have been scare of rides all my life. u name it and i have used every excuse to not go on one, my son who is 6 years old loves them, but i refuse to take him to any theme park. That was until last summer, where i went on something small, and i actually liked it, NO i didn't die and NO the ride didn't break and there was no tragedy. I got off and i felt fine, a little  dizzy but good. I worked up to something a bit bigger that same day and so on.

This summer i have been on many many roller coaster and its been a great time! My advice to you is Rome was not built in a day, and u share this fear with many many people. Try to work up to it with something small and then maybe u might be more comfortable with the  bigger ones, i wish you the best of luck!!

And umm, i would not recommend getting stoned or high on something as the first answer suggested. that is exactly what an amusement park needs, someone who is on pot and might freak out on a ride, nice.

Xanax, Marijuana...whatever floats your boat, take something an hour before and don't eat within 30 minutes of riding it or it will be coming up. THat lovely fatty hotdog can come out of your mouth and no one wants to see that! Just don't look down-look straight ahead and know that gravity and all that stuff is in your hands and you will be fine.

Answer 4

it was fun my first time and i never really had much fear but as long as ur strapped in its completely safe and once you you start it gets so fun you wont be able to stop!

Answer 5

You don't have to go on the scary rides, just explain how you feel how you feel, if theyre real friends then they will understand!

try calm rides like roundabouts or junior rollercoasters at first and then maybe try the tea cups and pirate ships

Answer 6

If you are scared of roller coasters falling apart, or something like Final Destination 3 which is garbage, on one roller coaster at my amusement park, a ride has 96 wheels. Do you really think that could fall off the track with 96 wheel? If 2 went loose do you really think you would be hurt? That was digitally enhanced movie. Besides that, these rides have tons of brakes, and sensors.

On a ride called the Demon at Great America, they could possibly run 3 trains. There are 5 blocks. Blocks are areas in which the train must clear, or the train will stop. So, you have the station (brakes), lifthill (It will stop if it's sent too soon, or it hasn't went past a certain place), part after the tunnel block (brakes), after the 2 corkscrews (brake), and before the station (brakes). As you can see, there are 2 more blocks than trains.

At an amusement park, they are checking these rides at 5:30 in the morning before the park is open. If it's the height, it's only first initial lift hill that would get you with the height. Than, you don't worry about it.

The funny thing is, your avatar looks like a little crying boy.  I sure hope that was intentional, cause it's funny as h**l.

Answer 8

If you smoke, then smoke a fat blunt before you go, it will help you alot. If you don't smoke the only way to get over it is just DO it. You are not going to fall or die. You will be on the ride for a couple of minutes then it is over. You will feel better and more confident about yourself AND your friends can't call you a little b***h for not doing it.

Answer 9

live up to your fears bigman. and try enjoying the rides and the thrill of them lol..

Answer 10

i say just go for it. its gonna be scary but just do it. close your eyes and it will be over b4 you know it. then you will probably end up loving it later.   :)

or you can try what works good for me..

Pray!! i dont know if you believe in God or anything but I do. and even if you dont, its worth a try i say. just say, "God help me to not be afraid." thats all :)

Answer 11

I was afraid of roller coasters...I went on the biggest and scariest one in six flags...and in my head I was horrified but when it was over I realized it was over...the adrenaline was running through my veins and I felt good... getting on the ride and just doing it...was good... I know what you mean the drops...god it feels horrible... weed just mellows you out... you'll be relaxed...and I guess that would help for the fear... and the nerves
