How do I get over the fear?

[Sixflagsgreatamericafreak]

I have this fear. Its like when I am planning on going to six flags great america I always get scared about riding the raging bull and stuff. Ive been on them before its just the first drop freaks the hell outta me! How the heck do I get over this fear!

[DejaVuGurl1203]

I used to feel the same way. I had already been on most of the coasters but I'd still get really nervous and stuff. Not really sure how I overcame it, I just kept riding the rides. I figured I've already been on them, and they're enjoyable, so what's there to be scared about.

You need to to a coster marathon. Pick a coster like Ragin Bull and keep going on it over and over again . Try to get in at least 5 or more rides in a row. After that day you will no longer have any fear of that ride. 10 Bull rides in a row followed by 10 batman rides will deffently get you over your fears of any sixflags roller coster.

Just keep riding it. You should have seen me the first time I went on Raging Bull, Top Thrill Dragster, and V2. I was scared but I loved them all!

^Ha. If only I could get on 20 rides on 2 coasters in a day of my choice plus other rides. BTR, Demon, and IW would very easy. Other rides, I might have some trouble.

Anyway, the only way to face you fear, is to take it on. If coasters stress you like crazy, its better off not going on them. You should have fun on them (You shouldn't want to pull out all your hair after riding one.).

If its jitters because of the first time, second time I understand that. As for the fear, go on the ride with someone you like (if you have one), and let them sit next to you. I don't know, hold hands with them or something while going up. Talk to them while going up the lift hill. That way it won't seem that bad.

I was talking then my stupid brother who was with us took my hands at the top of the hill and threw them up. I was terrified but after the first drop I held my hands up. I love roller coasters my favorite are batman and american eagle. Its just I hate thinking about going straight down. So I thought Of what Im gonna do, im gonna face it. Ill just say to myself. People go on these rides all the time. Even little kids. So yeah thats what Im gonna do

Just go ride Deja Vu, if you can ride that, you will be able to ride anything. It is probably the most frightful ride for most people because the line goes slow, you see the ride go through the station at high speeds and you drop verticle 178 feet after being lift up really slow. Finally, it has a total of 6 inversions, 3 forwards and 3 backwards. Ride that 2 or 3 times in one day, and you most likely wont be afraid anymore.

Deja Vu's drop actually goes more straight down then Raging Bulls. Deja Vu's is vertical.

just say to your self you have a 95% chance of dying on the car ride there then on any of the rides.

Not sure if they're in order from least scary to most scary (since it goes Whizzer, Demon...) Anyways, to put those in order, definately put Viper third and American Eagle fourth (in terms of first drop) and Raging Bull last.

[CoasterDude12-2]

I've gotten rid of all my fears of every ride in the Park except for Deja Vu and King Chaos and I don't want to tackle them any time soon.

[m-force 4 ever]

I used to be scared of all the coasters except for Viper and Whizzer. then one of my friends convinced me to go on Demon and I was hooked, I rode it 5 times without leaving the train (mini-marathon!) so yeah, the only real way to get rid of your fears is to just ride it. oh and have fun!

[Drkstarboard]

I still get scard on Déjà Vu and V2. I've been on them both many times but still get a little freaked out. I think it's because I'm so excited.

[Gunit0593]

I only get scared on v2 because of the way it starts. It freaks me out! Anyway just keep going on that ride as many times as possible. Thats how i got over the fear of all the other roller coasters at six flags. Or you can go on Giant Drop. You wont be scared of any roller coaster after you go on Giant Drop. (I know I wasn't)lol! Anyway good luck on getting over that fear we all have.
