Why don't I like amusement park rides?

Question

I always wondered why I don't like going on fast rides at the amusement park. Are there others like me that just can't enjoy a rollercoaster? I just don't get that it can be enjoyable, unless I'm in control. If I'm on a tire-swing or have control of the situation myself so I can stop whenever, then I'm fine but otherwise I freak out and can't "let go". Is this weird or is this just the way I'm made.

Answer 1

i am the same exact way. so no its not wierd, its normal because i know more people like that too. its just how you are.

Answer 2

i hate speed and height.  therefore, i hate theme parks.  I'm like you in that I'm not in control.  it's the same thing in the car.  if I'm not driving, I'm not comfortable.  I'm the one that sits on the bench holding other peoples things...

Answer 3

For many people, there is only one reason to go to an amusement park: the roller coaster. Some people call it the "scream machine," with good reason. The history of this ride reflects a constant search for greater and more death-defying thrills.

What you may not realize as you're cruising down the track at 60 miles an hour is that the coaster has no engine. The car is pulled to the top of the first hill at the beginning of the ride, but after that the coaster must complete the ride on its own. You aren't being propelled around the track by a motor or pulled by a hitch. The conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy is what drives the roller coaster, and all of the kinetic energy you need for the ride is present once the coaster descends the first hill..

some people have a condition if if it moves to fast it gives them a feeling of embalance if they move at really fast speeds this feeling can produce sickness after the ride.Once you're underway, different types of wheels help keep the ride smooth. Running wheels guide the coaster on the track. Friction wheels control lateral motion (movement to either side of the track). A final set of wheels keeps the coaster on the track even if it's inverted. Compressed air brakes stop the car as the ride endsRoller coasters can be wooden or steel, and can be looping or nonlooping. You'll notice a big difference in the ride depending on the type of material used. In general, wooden coasters are nonlooping. They're also not as tall and not as fast, and they don't feature very steep hills or as long a track as steel ones do. Wooden coasters do offer one advantage over steel coasters, assuming you're looking for palm-sweating thrills: they sway a lot more. Tubular steel coasters allow more looping, higher and steeper hills, greater drops and rolls, and faster speeds.
