    Courage is, when you overcome your fear. No fear: just foolhardy or unconcerned. We all have fear, but courage, which you showed, is pretty rare. I celebrate you for that.
    You got involved with something that forced you to leave your comfort zone, to make somebody you love having a good time. As far as you could go. Want to call that "letting somebody down"? I do not!
    You uploaded this conversation, although it shows you beeing convinced to have failed. You are such a sincere Person!
    You made me think about all this with your little Video. Thank you very much!😎👍

    My wife and I have season passes to Dollywood in Tennessee USA. It has become a real draw for rollercoaster fanatics. There are very few of the rollercoasters that I will ride. Last week we did Big Bear Mountain coaster with another couple. It was all I could stand. The woman of the couple had a real problem. We had to practically carry her off the ride. Needless to say, no more coasters for her. When I was young I loved all rollercoasters. Now in my 50s, not so much. We still love visiting the park. The flowers are always amazing and there are lots of things to see and do.

Paul you went to where your scariest place obviously is , that was a win and anyone else stating they have no fears is talking out their but hole . 🫶❤️🐾

    I am just like you can't do theme parks. I also can't stand opera/most plays/musicals - my wife gets that and she goes with friends. I did have a habit of falling asleep so she realised it was a complete waste of money. The worst one was some form of open air Shakespeare rubbish and I didn't realise if was full audience participation. I had some over enthusiastic thespian trying to get me involved!!

  • @bbwoolfy

    I think it's pretty normal to only manage 3 or 4 rides mate. I went to Alton Towers once (not really my thing either) and Rita Queen of Speed (is that still there) was my introduction. Steam catapult at the start 0 - 100mph in 2 seconds! My daughter said I roared like a viking all the way round! 😆 Oblivion.. I swear my heart stopped on that! The group after us got stuck overhanging the precipice for over an hour! Hex, shame that was closed as that's a great experience. At first I was like "ffs, a haunted log, this is boring" but then it all got a bit mental! 😅
    Don't beat yerself up mate, looked like a good day out and queue times were ridiculous and decent rides closed to boot! Good Mrs you have there! 👍🏼

    He said, "We won't tell them."

Also , I don't call it fun , having to pay extortionate prices to be made to vomit when I get . So now , I save up and get new camera kits to record wildlife. Still , you made a cracking video, Mate.

    Paul, believe me you are definitely not alone in your dislike of theme parks and rollercoasters! I can’t stand them. Well done for even going.
    Far from letting yourself or anyone down, you’ve given it a go despite knowing that such things weren’t for you. That’s quite inspiring actually. We can’t all like the same things, so people like you and I will continue to find the quiet places and leave the theme parks to those who enjoy them. We’re doing them a favour when you think about it, how much longer would the queues be if we all joined them too!
    Keep making the videos and keep enjoying what you do. Regards, Neil ( in Keswick)

    I've had moments like that before Paul. I'm petrified of rides. The first time I went to Alton Towers I went on Hex because I was told it was just a little rocking sensation, I ended up gripping the bars really tight and I was told by a friend they could see how scared I was. Unfortunately my partner at the time who loved rides thought I was being a baby and told me to man up.
    I also agree that the grounds of Alton Towers is a beautiful place, especially the gardens.

My wife and daughter have both been to Disney world and I’ve stayed back here in the UK, because I would have a melt down due to that many people in one place. On a separate note I love your videos and your are refreshing because you don’t make out that your life is all champagne and caviar like a lot of other Vloggers do. I’m am sorry you feel like you let people down but you really have not. You are a very lucky man to have a wife like Jo, she one in a million mate! 👍
