How can i overcome my fear of rollercoasters?

I am Terrified of roller coasters but all of my friends love them and i always enjoy going to theme parks just not on the big rides, Although that usually means i get to spend a lot of time sitting at the bottom of the rides waiting for my friends. next week i am going to elitch gardens everyday and i really want to try to get over my fear of roller coasters.



I think roller coasters look like they could be fun and they look somewhat safe although i hate that feeling i get in my stomach when i drop and i know there is no way past it so i want to know what you guys suggest i should do so i can go on the ride with out freaking out and making a fool of myself when i get scared. im not a baby and i think the rides look fun but for some reason i can never build up the to courage to go on them.How can i overcome my fear of rollercoasters?
To me, the only way to overcome rollercoasters is to ride them. Yes. RIDE THEM.

I have and am scared of rollercoasters and I think I will never overcome the fear. Haha!

I just go with my friends to the rollercoaster and I come out kinda scared and happy that i overcame.

One way I overcome rollercoasters is that riding a huge rollercoaster as your first.

This will help because other rollercoasters wont feel that intense after.

Good luck and have fun! :D
I used to be like you. I was always scared of trying new things. I started going on moderately fast rides then turned to fast rollercoasters. I turned into a daredevil, but I learned you have to live life and although things were scary, they were also thrilling and fun at the same time! Good luck!

Of your friends, if you're closer to one of them, confide in them. Ask to go with them...only. I had to get one of my daughters over this irrational fear too. My previous attempts never worked, but understanding her fears, and promising to hold her hand got her on the ride, and the rest is history.



Just hold your breath on the first drop...it works.
The best way to get over a fear is to face it head on. So your best bet is to just go on a roller coaster. Try starting off with something small and then build up.



Good luck :)
Stop thinking about it so much and just ride them. They are meant to be fun, you know.
i was in your EXACT.SAME.POSITION! except i went to a different park with my best friend. first make sure you stick with someone who you know will support you and not ge mad if you dont want to go on a scary rollarcoaster. but sometimes you gotta do what your afraid to do! my friend BEGGED me on her KNEES to go on this one rollarcoaster i was sooo scared because it had a drop and loops and corkscrews and even went underground! first i said noo way!!!! but then it felt like i was being a fun sucker so i told myself its ok your going to be fine and have fun! so we went on and i had the time of my life! it was so fun! i still get nervous when i go on roallercoasters though you just have to be brave and remeber the first time on one!!!! hope you have ablast
