[@ElusivG]

So true!

[@all-caps3927]

its honestly so true, being in the moment is totally different from anticipating a moment because whilst anticipating something you become irrational and hence your phobias start to kick in.

[@Graphics_Card]

I never actually thought about this.

[@nycot107]

There's nothing worse than a phobia, a fear that controls your life to the point where you aren't able to experience new things or even enjoy yourself. The fact that these guys got to that theme park let alone on that roller coaster without giving in to that inner voice telling them not to, goes to show how willing they are to overcome their fears.

[@CatsAreKindaCool]

I was extremely nervous going on a rollercoaster and at the end I wanted to immediately do it again, it's all irrational which is good, rollercoasters are meant to be and should be safe.

Start on smaller coasters at a park closest to you-even if it means the kiddie coaster. Ride it 3-4 times and ask yourself: "was it really that bad?" "Was it enjoyable and fun?" And if you liked it move on to the family coaster like mine train coasters or wild mouse coasters. Ask the same questions then go from there. I love roller coasters (obviously). I enjoy high G-forces and the adrenaline you get from them. Start small then work your way forward. They really are exhilarating!!!

[@aelphind4954]

Kevin Cui I rode kingda ka at a field trip to six flags

[@kaeyynn]

I do have a fear of rollercoasters (mainly the drop) as my body seems to traumatized by how fast I’m going down that I feel unsafe and uncomfortable. If the drop wasn’t so high and fast, I wouldn’t mind rollercoasters, but that’s pretty much the main reason I absolutely hate going on them. I’m not necessarily afraid of heights (for example, I love water slides, no matter how high they are. At first I used to hate them because they gave me the same feeling as a rollercoasters, but for some reason, I find water slides more entertaining that I don’t mind them being hundreds of feet of the ground. It’s a whole new experience. Most people say that people get coasterphobia because they have acrophobia but that’s not the case for me. I don’t mind heights (as long as I’m not on the tip of a cliff) Other then that, I do have severe arachnophobia and that last clip where they RANDOMLY PUT A TARANTULA MOVING AND TAKING UP THE SCREEN MADE ME HELLA PARANOID. My body began to shake within a second of me seeing it :-:

I actually used the breathing patterns he suggested to the students before I went to six flags, it was so bad that I cried when I went on radiator springs racers at Disneyland, so when I went, it was a school trip we were in the bus and I started breathing really hard and I felt numb and I was shaking. But after realizing my situation I realized people do this for fun so I decided I need to relax and try it, so I did and I actually loved it! The thing was the drops that hurt my stomach, and although I felt the drops and hated the feeling I actually liked it right after I got off it’s a fun thrill so I’m definitely proud of them! I also recommend it!

I don't see fearing rollercoasters as a problem. But everybody makes it a huge problem and people like me have shame to admit they hate rollercoasters. My school holds field trips to six flags and Knott's, and I'm going in May but I'm honestly nervous about what's to come. I hate rollercoasters, I get anxiety waiting in line. My friends tell me I'm lame, or too chicken, I understand it's a joke but it gets discouraging especially for others. Even now I get nervous at the thought of going to Knott's or six flags. When I'm at an amusement park I hear the screams pass by, I see my friends go on the fast rollercoasters, and then there's me holding their bags. At the end of the ride they come back, completely ignoring me and wanting to go again. I couldn't handle the tea cups when I was younger. It feels impossible trying to calm down in exchange for a good day at the amusement park. I can't do it, no, I can't.

Why is this guy obsessed with Millennium Force? If you want to break people of a fear of rollercoasters, I don't think sticking them on MF or TTD is the best idea as their first ride - unless you intend to scare them off even further. Rollercoasters are something you need to work your way up with.

I was hella afraid of roller coasters for 16 years. Now I'm 18 and I went to Knotts, Universal Studios, and Six flags. The mummy ride was my first when I was 16 and it was my birthday so I went to Universal Studios. And I have to say ladies and gentlemen that the only way to overcome the fear or having anxiety of roller coasters is to get on it period. Just say in your head before you even get in line "... I'm going to do this" now when you're on the roller coaster and when you're going up you're probably thinking repeatedly " Damn it this is it. Oh S@&!" and it's totally cool because guess what. You're already on the top staring down looking over the whole scenery. Then the best part (for a few people until you get used to it) is the drop and for the rest of the ride instead of still panicking you're actually going to smile and scream with enjoyment. After that first ride your jaw will drop and then you will say ".... omg ... I just did that ... I'm definitely going on that ride again" then you're already on your way overcoming your fears and instead of ditching out on your friends/family and making some excuse to leave so you won't get on the ride, you will do the exact opposite. Roller coasters might look scary up front, but once you're on it ... it's a whole different story 😊. Yes roller coasters are fast and yes it looks scary but please trust me as I say to go on it and you will love it ... unless you're just not the type of person who likes riding roller coasters which is cool and there's nothing wrong with that. Hey ... if these college students did it, plus it took me 16 years to get on one of those bad boys and now I really like riding roller coasters, ... so can you my friend. Also unless you're over weight (400+) which makes the carriage jump around or shifts and the ride isn't in the best condition then there's absolutely no way you can die, get injured, etc. All I have to say is to get on and enjoy the ride. Don't try to hang on to the bar thinking it's the end ... just let go and embrace the awesomeness of riding a roller coaster. (Just do it) - Nike Slogan.

When I go to an amusement park, I'm always scared of the rollercoasters, but when I finally push myself to go on one, I'm not scared to go on the other ones. The problem is I feel like I have an "excitement meter" in my head that runs out and at the end of the day I'm still scared to go on a rollercoaster.

[@megasocky]

I get the same feeling. Was intensly anxious to be forced onto rise of the resistance at disney, went on and had fun. That high didnt last enough for me to do cosmic rewind and even things like ratatouille and spaceship earth scared me since i didnt see a ride pov to make sure it didnt have sudden jolts and drops. I get to a point i just want a 100% safe ride

[@H1289-h8o]

The worst bit of a big rollercoaster is waiting in line

[@ctrlzme.6448]

That happened with me. I used to be terrified of roller coasters but then my father always forced me to ride with him. After a lot of rides, i actually started to feel the fun in them. And then i demanded more. Now, the only thing I care about in amusement parks are the roller coasters.

I love how the comment section is full of us coaster enthusiasts sad that we can’t be at Cedar Point 👌😂

[@RachelSalvadore]

I’m tearing up because I know EXACTLY how that feels for rides. I just went on Wonder Woman Lasso Of Truth in Six Flags the other day and I was so so scared but I did it. It’s a BIG DEAL for me.

[@RachelSalvadore]

Delike el Ducce The height and the speed. It messes with my head afterwards. When I get in a car to go home it still feels like I’m on a rollercoaster and I don’t feel like I have control off or on the ride.

[@Destiny-bg5wy]

I live about 1 hour away from cedar point, and I'm terrified of riding those roller coasters, so I'm so proud of you guys for facing your fears!!!

I want to go on the roller coasters until I get right there then I give in and go on and when I get off I'm good until the next one

[@Anonymous-vt3of]

Same! But sometimes I just chicken out and don't do it when I've waited in line for an hour. The line is the worst bit

[@pk_lo4638]

I’m an enthusiast, people never try them out because they chicken out. You watch too many GP fake KZbin videos about coaster accidents that never happened. Don’t think about it and calm your self down

That dude Zach better be happy that his first rollercoaster was Millennium Force, My first rollercoaster was when I was 5, It was called Runaway Minetrain at Six Flags Over Texas.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

If I'm not mistaken that was the first arrow mine train coaster, you're lucky.

[@coasterrate8233]

lol

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

It's funny because you say those are intense coasters but they actually really aren't. Goliath (the one at six flags ;p) and Titan are both illuminati and millennium force doesn't live up to the hype.

I went to Cedar point 2 days ago, went on all 18 coasters. My sister also went on all coasters and she has anxiety and was not scared at all! She is amazing. Im 11 she is 13. My 14 year old brother did not even go on dragster. I went on dragster, not scary at all. But i get they have fears.

How does this teacher give you the power to ride every coaster and makes you an enthusiast in a single ride these people can ride inverting stuff and be happy

[@unclebobboomergames]

If youre scared of coasters make sure you dont use a fast pass and start tk rationalize. Watch the coaster in the backround. Countdown parts that seem intense and see how short they really are. Also use seeing children smaller and younger than you on it to motivate you. The truth is is youre going to be fine just like everyone else you see walking off.

[@andreasanchez1453]

Thanks

[@arachnohumanoidpolymultiverse]

If my professor put me on a rollercoaster I w update cry and cry and be like “IM NOT DOING THAT EVER AGAIN, WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO ME!?”

[@darknesswolfx7205]

I actually went on behemoth for the first time yesterday. I was so scared of it but just like the girl said. Now I can do anything (Gonna try to go on leviathan now, it’s faster and a bit taller) ✌️

[@3Peat_]

The anticipation is the worst part. Sitting in the seats waiting for it to go up the lift hill is the worst part. If you get over that you’re golden.

[@ahhwe-any7434]

I think for every ride, it wouldn't hurt if the intercom person said something like everyone, plz be patient. A person will check every one last of you to see if everything tight and secure asap. The lock will set in afterwards. After that, only then you will all take off. Enjoy ur ride. Something like that. Bc thats gotta calm them down some b4 the paranoia starts to sets in

[@marcoslopez_]

Jolyette Rollercoasters are probably safer than driving a car if that makes you feel any better. Lol.

[@cadendowdle9688]

Jolyette If you live ride a roller coaster in the US, you are completely safe!

[@nothing2it16]

You are actually more likely to die by falling off your couch than on a roller coaster

[@BnMProductions11]

As these people have said, roller coaster deaths in North America are almost non existant. Per capita you are monumentally more likely to die in a car accident.

[@Janethekiller410]

Jolyette Tomorrow I'm going to lake Winnie in Tennessee... I'm trying to face my fear of rollercoasters and hights.... I'm going in the rollercoasters there and the drop ride called the oh - zone... It sends you up 14 stories in the air and drops you down at 58 miles per hour.... I hope i can over come my fear... Wish me luck..

[@tayparadox3330]

People can’t control what they’re afraid of, sometimes your fears are so hard that you need to get some help from others to get over them. You have to look at the persons point of view before stating such an amateur opinion

[@jonathanjeffrey5997]

Us Coaster enthusiast would beg to be in that class

[@TylerChou059]

The only kinds of roller coasters I can tolerate are the family friendly ones (ie Trailblazer and Runaway Mine Train). However, any roller coaster with inversions, loop-de-loops, hydraulic launch, or a steep drop are too scary for me to ride

[@VexxR22]
