I’m scared of rollercoasters not because I think I’m going to die, but because the wait and sheer intimidation from the coaster makes me feel endless anxiety and question everything I’ve ever done
I have always been terrified of upside down rides and just went on my very first one a few days ago. The instant regret at the start is probably the worst part but once your thrown into the loop you hardly have time to even comprehend what’s happening before it’s over. It looks a lot scarier then it actually is and I definitely recommend trying one!
Honestly Loops are a lot easier than drops. If you close your eyes on a loop you won’t even notice that you went upside down. All you feel is a little pressure pushing down on your body but nothing to uncomfortable. Like in the video keeping your head back always helps!
I don't have much experience with positive Gs, which are the kind that push down on you. so I probably wouldn't like it at this point. I want to get use to them by going down, then up a hill really fast, first. 🙂 because of the fact that you're upside down for a moment, I would think that loops make stronger positive Gs, then doing it the regular way.
@@mayganphynix8267 You really don’t feel like you’re upside down. I ended up “going big” for my first coaster. It was a B&M inversion coaster and it had a few large loops. You are going so fast, you blow right through the loops, you barely have time to notice it. The loops are my favorite part and I normally hate positive gs. Like the drop being the worst part, the rest being awesome (including the loops.)
My first upside down ride was a carnival ride that chucks you backwards and forwards upside down. I told my self I could never go on an upside down roller coaster and yet I did! It was like a tiny loop but it gave me so much confidence and your words from your older videos helped me get Through it and I ended up loving it. Thanks so much for being awesome and stay safe x
As soon as he started talking about comparing people to yourself I started to cry bc I have been scared of rides my whole life and every time I chicken out my dad points out a younger kid and says “that kid is younger than you and they’re riding it” I’ve also always been made fun of in my family because of my fear so when I did my first roller coaster it was such a relief knowing that I’m not going to be made fun of and your videos are really helping me prepare for the thunderbird in my local park (holiday world) my dad offered $50 for me to ride it and I’ve only ever rode one roller coaster thank you for helping people overcome these fears it means a lot ❤😊
My favorite moment is when I get on the ride and I'm like... "Well... Looks like I've gotten into this situation.... There's no turning back sooooo.... TIme to Enjoy all the high thrilling thrills!" and then I scream for my life and love every bit of the roller coaster.
I love that this video has 0 dislikes even though it's been posted a year ago. I've been thinking about going on a looping roller coaster again lately. According to my birth father, I loved going on them. When I grew up, I became fearful of them. My birth father tried to coax me into going on them, reminding me every time that I used to love them. And when I refused to go onto the ride, he'd say that I've become a coward and he'd compare me to younger kids who did go onto the ride. Small children often don't perceive danger as well as older kids do, so they haven't made the connection that loopings can be scary to people. I still don't like those water log rides that have a big drop. I absolutely hate how it became a family tradition to go on one every time we visit a theme park. All because as a small child I got drenched on one and my mom had to dry me under a hand dyer in the toilets (this was before they placed free drying boots near the attraction). The one we always went on was the Ripsaw Falls in Slagharen, the second drop I hate (also the noise of it being pulled up on the track and it speeding down makes my fear worse). The one is Walibi is cool though, it has 2 dips for the large one and that actually reduces that plummeting feeling in your gut by having that quick pause in between dips.
Thanks this really helped, I'm going to alton towers in april and I wanna go on all the rides but sometimes I get scared, I'm gonna use ur tips and try to ride them, I'm going with my friends and they all like big coasters, and I don't wanna be left alone, thanks for the help, keep up the great work
@@AdventuresWithAlex sadly my trip was cancelled due to covid 19, I would've been going on Monday, its a shame but its for the best, hope u r ok and pls keep up the hard work
the tips from this video were so useful! i watched it last night and used it today on my trip to dorney park, my friend forced me on the Hydra coaster and it was AWESOME. i mean it wasn’t a perfect loop it kind of curved around but still, im super proud. sadly couldn’t go on the Talon since it was closed but i DEFINITELY am going on it one day
I don’t know if u will see this but.. I was scared of velocicoaster and my friends were comparing this child going on a ride to me and I felt bad. I decided to try close my eyes and use your tips. Thank you I’m not scared no more, I’m looking forward to faster/higher rides.
My first upside down coaster was the Great White at SeaWorld San Antonio. On the first loop, I was kind of ready but I wasn’t and so when the loop happened I had my eyes opened. After the loop I was like, oh ok, this is what it’s like. Then I wasn’t scared anymore
Man drops honestly take practice. Find a small coaster that gets you a little butterfly feeling in your stomach and ride it over and over again. Eventually it won't be as intense and you can move up from there
@@K1w1Apple although it might seem scary, GO ON SILVER BULLET FIRST cus the drop isnt that steep. You dont really get that dropping feeling and getting used to that hight lets you go on other rides. Also, i didnt know knotts was open thats awsome!
Dude I love that you have videos about tips to overcome fear and then you have videos of you just enjoying yourself on coasters. I have been on a couple coasters could never do an inversion though. I have a vertigo issue so don't know if that would make it worse.
I appreciate you saying that! Hopefully there will be some more videos of me on coasters here somewhat soon. I don't know what it's like to have vertigo issues but I'll try to provide any assistance that I can! I think it definitely depends on the coaster. I've been on coasters with inversions that are smooth as butter but then there are others that are jerky and rough. If you were to ever test it, I'd recommend trying a newer coaster than an older style as they've learned to work out the kinks of creating a smooth ride for passengers. On top of it being a newer coaster, definitely go for one with as few inversions as possible and save it for the last ride of the day so if you do get thrown out of wack then you're whole visit isn't ruined. Personally, this is just how I would go about trying it if i were in your shoes. Do what you're comfortable with!
When I was younger, I thought I was going to die on roller coasters so I never went on them. but as I’ve gotten older, I have tried to get used to roller coasters more. Thanks
Went to Carowinds with a few friends of mine. I haven't ridden a rollercoaster since I was like 9 or 10 (I'm 33 now). They convinced me to ride some rides with them. Started with the Flying Cobras and worked up the courage to end the night with a ride on Intimidator and Fury 325. It was absolutely worth the absolute terrified feeling I had the entire wait in every line. The worst experience I had was riding the Gold Rusher. Freaking bumpiest and worst ride because I'm too tall.
TY SO MUCH FOR THIS! I’m going to Silver Dollar City in 2 days (if you don’t know what it is it’s just an amusement park in Branson, MO) and I just got over my fear of big rides kind of but I’m still really scared because it’s my first time and this video is helping me SO MUCH! Ty and for that here’s a like ❤️
I love Silver Dollar City!! 😋 I grew up in Arkansas and went to silver dollar city pretty regularly. I hope you get to ride all the big rides there when you go! PS I have a vlog of one of my park visits to SDC. It's an older vlog so it might not be as well made as my new ones but here it is if you want to check it out! ua-cam.com/video/iSi3Jx8owxQ/v-deo.html
@@AdventuresWithAlex In all seriousness though the breathing stuff makes me calm and I think we all the parks reopen I will be confident enough to go on a loopy ride.
Ok so i have this group of friends and im really close to carowinds in north carolina and they keep trying to get me on FURY 325 and i made a deal that the next time i come with them im going to ride copperhead strike and i just get nervous thinking about it and if you dont know what fury 325 it is the tallest rollercoaster with a lift hill it was overwhelming but this video helped thanks
Upside down coasters are awesome but not the scariest. For me it's the steep drops and anticipation while ascending the lift hill that makes a coaster scary.
I’m gonna try and ride one upside down when the theme parks open again :D Edit: I wonder if they would let me bring music on it? The screaming of other ppl makes me scared and if I have music I can’t hear it and music calms me down
Gorilla glue AirPods into your ears and you’re set! Lol jk please don’t do that. Man i don’t think they’ll let you bring your music on. Headphones would be considered a loose article and they’d be like “naahhh fam”. Maybe you could try to make a joke out of situation and try to sing All Star by Smash Mouth for the whole ride as an epic meme lord challenge
For summer vacation I might be going to Universal Studio’s Orlando and I’m going after the velocicoaster opens and I’ve heard that it is suppose to be the best roller coaster in the world (my friends who already went this year) said that it looks so fun that if I don’t do it, I will regret it and it will be my first looping coaster and once I enter that que, I know that there is no turning back and I will be hella scared. Wish me luck
You got this!! Yes velocicoaster looks so awesome. Remember these tips when you're waiting in line and even pull this video up again to watch on your phone while waiting in line if you need. You can do this! Focus on the fun :)
I really want to go back to Universal Studios its just the Hollywood Rip Ride that I'm still a bit afraid of. On the up side is that its only one ride and also its just the drop and the loops are just my favorite parts
i started crying when i was waiting in line for superman ultimate flight 😭 i kept looking at the ride and i got so anxious, i went on it and closed my eyes the whole timeee and it was kinda fun! hopelly i can leave my eyes open the next time i go on it
My first inverting coaster was goliath (batman clone) at Six Flag Fiesta Texas. I was actually pumped to ride, and the inversions and g forces felt amazing. Batman clones are awesome. I recommend you start out with a batman clone, they are amazing.
yesterday i went outside to the front lawn and my uncle was just done fixing his motorcycle and then he just said get on and i am afraid of heights so i was freaking out so i just sat in the back and he rode with me round the neighborhood and i and when i got off i felt amazing and i realized that i love the thrill of going super fast so i decided that i will start going on rollercoasters.
I'm trying to go on raptor at cedar point which is my first upside down rollercoaster and I want to be as brave as I possibly can. By the way I want to go on it this summer and so far I've been learning from your videos but I don't know if I can do it. PLEASE HELP!!!
You can totally do it! If you get there and you’re too scared to go on, I’d say try riding corkscrew first to get over that initial fear of going upside down! It’s a shorter ride and not so tall but be warned that it will feel a bit rough. Raptor will be MUCH smoother than corkscrew. Then Rougarou is also a good option. Maybe a good in between coaster to ride after corkscrew and before raptor.
I know this is 2 years late but a while back when i was young i went on tower of terror and rockin roller coaster when i was like maybe 9-12 years old but now im 14 and i was kind of anxious to go on tower of terror and i didnt go on rockin roller coaster this time but i did go on expedition everest which was so fun!! These rides are all at disney world btw and im not really scared about the safety or feel like im going to die but i feel like im gonna get dizzy or throw up after which holds me back even though i dont
I’m going on rock n roller coaster for my first roller coaster that goes upside down. Update just went on it and it was awesome. For me it feels like I was upside down but it was fun and thrilling it is now my favorite roller coaster.
How many times have peopale forgot to breath while watting in line i know i hsve forgotten a bunch of times ussaley i will be watiing or i will be on the ride and then all of a sudden i will relizae that i have not been breathing at all EDIT: Like if you agree or just comment saying i agree or someting like that
It’s not the drop or the loop the scares me nor death as roller coaster are one of the most safest things to be built, it’s the thought of throwing up as I hate it and I think that roller coasters will cause it
I'm very scared to go on an invertion coaster. But on the other hand I kinda want to get on it. What should I do? Should I just overwin my fear and just go in or still wait? I'm soon 14 years old. (If I wanted to go on my first coaster, I kinda wanna go on the Python from the Efteling. It has small loops (4 invertions though) but it doesn't look intense.)
The best thing you can do is just push yourself through the fear and hop on a coaster. Imagine yourself looking the fear in the face, sitting with it for a moment, and then making the choice to get on the ride :) you got this!
The most popular theme park where i love have 2 roller coasters. One is a 90 degree drop into a loop and the other is on a mountain with 7 loops, im terrified of the feeling of going upside down so I can’t go on easy mode first I only have extreme for my first experience upside down
wonderful video once again! Do you have any suggestions for rollercoasters at hershey or dorney that go upside down but are not too intense because ive only ever been on the sooperdooperlooper a few years ago and i hated it. I want to get over the fear!
The weird thing is, I kept my head back against the headrest on Stealth at Thorpe Park, and it still got pushed downwards from the force of the launch, so until we got to the top of the top hat, all I could see was my shoes 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s not the fear of falling out, it’s the fear of throwing up. You ask the 11 year old me if I wanted to go on the smiler then it’s a yes, ask me now then HELL NO. I think it started when I went on a one of these rides that jolt you up and down on the flat surface, I threw up immediately after getting off so guess that got me scared of them lol. Anyways I went on nemesis last time I went to Alton and I’m pretty sure I passed out on the first inversion I don’t remember any of it all I remember is suddenly going over another loop
Yeahhh I'm just gonna get on the ride and hope and pray I live cause everyone else does... Best Logic Ever To Exist I'm Gonna Go Ride Some Crazy Rides At The Carnival Today! Edit: This Is Helping Me So Much I'm Gonna Go Tackle Some Rides I've Always Been Scared Of..... I've already rode the super high swings for the first time so I think I'm ready for upside down ahahahha.
i think closing eyes makes things worse, because than you can't see where you're going. I think the first time i went on a ride with inversions was superman at six flags great adventure, when i was like 8 years old. i was then too afraid to incrediable hulk, which has 7 inversions. didn't ride a rollercoaster for nearly 10 years, and then went on the ride. the reason i had a giant gap is because i never really had a chance to go back to an amusement park for a long time. my advice is the number of inversions isn't going to tell you how intense the ride is, as some rides with less inversions may actually be more intense, so do your research. this is because a lot if that has to do with how fast the ride goes through the element and how spread out the elements are. in the end, have fun
When you go inverted in a rollercoaster, it lifts you out of your seat and onto the shoulder bar things. I always push myself down into the seat because I fear if I don't all my body weight will go onto the shoulder bar and it will break. Am I supposed to push myself into the seat while inverted, or am I just overreacting?
I would love this but one time went on a claw ride that went really high and I became terrified when I felt myself pressed against the restraints. Any tips?
I have only went to Busch gardens tampa and I was so scared I only rode sand serpent cobras curse and I was scared of scorpion the next time I went I went on cheetah hunt then the next ride is montu I rode that and then I rode everything else the same day even iron gwazi you just have to do it
For those worried, please don’t be. It’s something that feels strange but it’s amazing. Just remember to keep your head back and it’ll be fine! The inversion of a loop is over before you even have a chance to think about it! The corkscrews and cut back inversions have a different feeling but not as ‘intense’ as a loop! :)
All my friends have all going on it and i want to but it a swing and you go upside down in a loop and ive always been scared of upside down.. and i want to but then when im close im like nauh
I was scared but my dad go on it and i said ok fine 1 time and i tried closing my eyes but i didnt and i was happy and im not scared anymore of rollercoasters upside down and normal
For me I really love roller coasters and nervous to ride inverts that have multiple upside down elements I’m nervous as when I do like backflips I get dizzy and a little nauseous. I’m trying to find a video that shows what it feels like or the after feeling. Could u tell me what it feels like in an example
I need help I’m really scared of rides and I’m always pressured to ride them. I’ve ridden more intense rides like full throttle and twisted colossus and enjoyed them so the videos trying to help you to get over your fear don’t help because they always like “start at ride the kiddy rides then the more intense rides.” But I’ve already been on the intense rides. And my dad won’t take me to six flags if I don’t ride tatsu. I’m scared of tatsu. What do I do? (Sorry for the grammar mistakes)

Thanks so much!im hoping to be able to go on icon at Blackpool and I’m pretty scared at the moment but this helped!
You're very welcome! I'm glad this helped :) Have fun!
For summer vacation I might be going to Universal Studio’s Orlando and I’m going after the velocicoaster opens and I’ve heard that it is suppose to be the best roller coaster in the world (my friends who already went this year) said that it looks so fun that if I don’t do it, I will regret it and it will be my first looping coaster and once I enter that que, I know that there is no turning back and I will be hella scared. Wish me luck
You got this!! Yes velocicoaster looks so awesome. Remember these tips when you're waiting in line and even pull this video up again to watch on your phone while waiting in line if you need. You can do this! Focus on the fun :)
Great video I'm going to a fair in a couple weeks I've never been upside down before but I'm excited I'm subscribing! 😀
I really want to go back to Universal Studios its just the Hollywood Rip Ride that I'm still a bit afraid of. On the up side is that its only one ride and also its just the drop and the loops are just my favorite parts
I have absolutely no doubt that you'll get it one day my friend and it will truly be a glorious experience!
Thanks. I will use your steps and methods to overcome the fear. I have no doubt it will work. (Edit: I made a typing mistake I'm sorry 😅)
I’m pretty sure the rip ride rocket doesn’t go upside down
still helping people out i see 😎
Yes! I had promised this video a long time ago and the week I was like 👏🏻. We 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 getting 👏🏻 this 👏🏻 done ✅ now 😌
Hello There, I agree that it makes much sense to build up your confidence. A great video by the way, it's much appreciated. Cheers Peter :-)
Do Great Bear at Hersheypark. It doesn’t even feel like you are riding a roller coaster in the moment. Definitely a good starter ride.
i started crying when i was waiting in line for superman ultimate flight 😭 i kept looking at the ride and i got so anxious, i went on it and closed my eyes the whole timeee and it was kinda fun! hopelly i can leave my eyes open the next time i go on it
My first inverting coaster was goliath (batman clone) at Six Flag Fiesta Texas. I was actually pumped to ride, and the inversions and g forces felt amazing. Batman clones are awesome. I recommend you start out with a batman clone, they are amazing.
Bro, you give more advice than wiki how will ever
This may just be the coolest compliment I've gotten about rollercoaster advice ❤️ glad it helped ya friend
The first thing that I went on went upside down like 10 times it’s called surpent slayer
Thank you so much it really helped!
Glad it helped! You're very welcome! :)
yesterday i went outside to the front lawn and my uncle was just done fixing his motorcycle and then he just said get on and i am afraid of heights so i was freaking out so i just sat in the back and he rode with me round the neighborhood and i and when i got off i felt amazing and i realized that i love the thrill of going super fast so i decided that i will start going on rollercoasters.
I’m going to seaworld orlando, what ride should I start off with? Also ur video helped a bunch thanks 😊
I just died slowly and painfully
That’s awesome!! Congrats!! 🎊🎉
Bruh the edit!!! 😂😂😂 oh my god 😂😂😂
I'm trying to go on raptor at cedar point which is my first upside down rollercoaster and I want to be as brave as I possibly can. By the way I want to go on it this summer and so far I've been learning from your videos but I don't know if I can do it. PLEASE HELP!!!
You can totally do it! If you get there and you’re too scared to go on, I’d say try riding corkscrew first to get over that initial fear of going upside down! It’s a shorter ride and not so tall but be warned that it will feel a bit rough. Raptor will be MUCH smoother than corkscrew. Then Rougarou is also a good option. Maybe a good in between coaster to ride after corkscrew and before raptor.
How dare you, I AM NOT LIVING.
Hmmm 🤔 darn. Will work to be more inclusive in the next video
Being a thrill rider and have been on rides like thunder dolphin and others once you get used to the inversion feeling it ain’t too bad.
I know this is 2 years late but a while back when i was young i went on tower of terror and rockin roller coaster when i was like maybe 9-12 years old but now im 14 and i was kind of anxious to go on tower of terror and i didnt go on rockin roller coaster this time but i did go on expedition everest which was so fun!! These rides are all at disney world btw and im not really scared about the safety or feel like im going to die but i feel like im gonna get dizzy or throw up after which holds me back even though i dont
I’m going on rock n roller coaster for my first roller coaster that goes upside down. Update just went on it and it was awesome. For me it feels like I was upside down but it was fun and thrilling it is now my favorite roller coaster.
Thanks, still not riding a loop ever though!
@Sean ;] Meh, it will only happen if someone tricks me into getting on a loop ride without me knowing..
I want to go on wild fire that dose 5 loops and I want to do it but I am scared so this was amazing
How many times have peopale forgot to breath while watting in line i know i hsve forgotten a bunch of times ussaley i will be watiing or i will be on the ride and then all of a sudden i will relizae that i have not been breathing at all
EDIT:
Like if you agree or just comment saying i agree or someting like that
thanks pewdiepie
Anytime **brofist**
It’s not the drop or the loop the scares me nor death as roller coaster are one of the most safest things to be built, it’s the thought of throwing up as I hate it and I think that roller coasters will cause it
I was forced to go on the dragster as my third rollercoaster of my life
This is how they make people have good posture make it so it feels like the back is breaking until they get of the ride or slow down
the first time I went upside-down I went to wonderworks on those 360 bikes and it wasn't that bad
I'm very scared to go on an invertion coaster. But on the other hand I kinda want to get on it. What should I do? Should I just overwin my fear and just go in or still wait? I'm soon 14 years old.
(If I wanted to go on my first coaster, I kinda wanna go on the Python from the Efteling. It has small loops (4 invertions though) but it doesn't look intense.)
The best thing you can do is just push yourself through the fear and hop on a coaster. Imagine yourself looking the fear in the face, sitting with it for a moment, and then making the choice to get on the ride :) you got this!
My First Ride was Ninja At Six Flags Magic Mountain and after that I legit wanted to go on everything
The most popular theme park where i love have 2 roller coasters. One is a 90 degree drop into a loop and the other is on a mountain with 7 loops, im terrified of the feeling of going upside down so I can’t go on easy mode first I only have extreme for my first experience upside down
wonderful video once again! Do you have any suggestions for rollercoasters at hershey or dorney that go upside down but are not too intense because ive only ever been on the sooperdooperlooper a few years ago and i hated it. I want to get over the fear!
The weird thing is, I kept my head back against the headrest on Stealth at Thorpe Park, and it still got pushed downwards from the force of the launch, so until we got to the top of the top hat, all I could see was my shoes 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Welp I’m going to knott’s berry farm and I’m going to try upside down roller coasters so wish me good luck T-T
It’s not the fear of falling out, it’s the fear of throwing up. You ask the 11 year old me if I wanted to go on the smiler then it’s a yes, ask me now then HELL NO. I think it started when I went on a one of these rides that jolt you up and down on the flat surface, I threw up immediately after getting off so guess that got me scared of them lol. Anyways I went on nemesis last time I went to Alton and I’m pretty sure I passed out on the first inversion I don’t remember any of it all I remember is suddenly going over another loop
So. The one with less loops is corkscrew from cedar point this coaster has 3 loops on it this May help u go on the coaster with more loops
Yeahhh I'm just gonna get on the ride and hope and pray I live cause everyone else does... Best Logic Ever To Exist I'm Gonna Go Ride Some Crazy Rides At The Carnival Today!
Edit: This Is Helping Me So Much I'm Gonna Go Tackle Some Rides I've Always Been Scared Of..... I've already rode the super high swings for the first time so I think I'm ready for upside down ahahahha.
Actually best thing to do is open your eyes on all rides closing them makes it scary
Im second comment
Here’s a cookie for you my friend 🍪
Best thing don't look at where your going look far far straight ahead
i think closing eyes makes things worse, because than you can't see where you're going. I think the first time i went on a ride with inversions was superman at six flags great adventure, when i was like 8 years old. i was then too afraid to incrediable hulk, which has 7 inversions. didn't ride a rollercoaster for nearly 10 years, and then went on the ride. the reason i had a giant gap is because i never really had a chance to go back to an amusement park for a long time.
my advice is the number of inversions isn't going to tell you how intense the ride is, as some rides with less inversions may actually be more intense, so do your research. this is because a lot if that has to do with how fast the ride goes through the element and how spread out the elements are. in the end, have fun
is twisted colossus a good ride to go on if it’s ur first upside down rollercoaster?
(a good first ride to go upside down on)
I’m riding my first upside down coaster in a month, I’m going to movie world and I’m riding green lantern!
i was gonna do “sing your favorite song and that will make you better”
Ah that sounds like a great tip! Thanks for sharing
My fear is hanging from my restraint
When you go inverted in a rollercoaster, it lifts you out of your seat and onto the shoulder bar things. I always push myself down into the seat because I fear if I don't all my body weight will go onto the shoulder bar and it will break. Am I supposed to push myself into the seat while inverted, or am I just overreacting?
I would love this but one time went on a claw ride that went really high and I became terrified when I felt myself pressed against the restraints. Any tips?
Is the desert storm a good ride??
I have only went to Busch gardens tampa and I was so scared I only rode sand serpent cobras curse and I was scared of scorpion the next time I went I went on cheetah hunt then the next ride is montu I rode that and then I rode everything else the same day even iron gwazi you just have to do it
My fear is falling out
First
Ayyyeee first comment award 🎉 🏆 🥳
For those worried, please don’t be. It’s something that feels strange but it’s amazing. Just remember to keep your head back and it’ll be fine! The inversion of a loop is over before you even have a chance to think about it! The corkscrews and cut back inversions have a different feeling but not as ‘intense’ as a loop! :)
All my friends have all going on it and i want to but it a swing and you go upside down in a loop and ive always been scared of upside down.. and i want to but then when im close im like nauh
I was scared but my dad go on it and i said ok fine 1 time and i tried closing my eyes but i didnt and i was happy and im not scared anymore of rollercoasters
upside down and normal
I literally worked my way up to the tallest ride but I still get scared of the drop
Are upside down roller coasters so scary? Because im about to go on one, but just don't feel very safe.
My first upside coaster was infusion at Blackpool pleasure beach and I’m still scared of going upside down
For me I really love roller coasters and nervous to ride inverts that have multiple upside down elements I’m nervous as when I do like backflips I get dizzy and a little nauseous. I’m trying to find a video that shows what it feels like or the after feeling. Could u tell me what it feels like in an example
@Sean ;] I just went on a inverted boomerang yesterday for my first time and holy it was crazy being upside down thanks for the reply too!
I need help I’m really scared of rides and I’m always pressured to ride them. I’ve ridden more intense rides like full throttle and twisted colossus and enjoyed them so the videos trying to help you to get over your fear don’t help because they always like “start at ride the kiddy rides then the more intense rides.” But I’ve already been on the intense rides. And my dad won’t take me to six flags if I don’t ride tatsu. I’m scared of tatsu. What do I do? (Sorry for the grammar mistakes)
