A couple months ago I went on my first roller coaster, so I know how scary it can be! I would recommend always going with a friend or family member who can ride with you. It helps to ask them questions about the ride if they've been on it before, so you can know more about it. Before you go on a ride, tell yourself it's gonna be okay! You'll have a blast when you're done, trust me. When I got off my first roller coaster I asked myself, 'why was I so scared'? Also, here's what I've heard about why people are scared to go on Roller Coasters: Your mind is telling you that going so fast and upside down would normally hurt you, so it makes you feel like its dangerous so you wont want to go on it. But if you can look past that fear and realize it's NOT dangerous, it's totally fun!
I used to be afraid of roller coasters too util my pareants gave me ome really good advice. Just think of the happiest thing you can think of and once the roller coaster takes off, it catches your stomach which gives a kind of flying or fun feeling! And trust me, nothing has been on the news about roller coaster accidents in 15 years and if you listen to the instructions carefully and buckle up tightly, nothing can go wrong.!
