One of my best friends and I are going to Kings Island for a school field trip. Kings Island is known for its roller coasters... and she doesn't want to go on them because she is scared. She's been on ( [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) ) Top Gun, Runaway Reptar, The Beastie, Adventure Express and the Italian Job. She's just afraid to go on other, faster rides that have big hills and go upside down. Now I don't want to go to a park full of roller coasters and not go on any of the main attractions. I've been afraid of the rides shes been afraid of (but about 4 years ago) and I overcome my fears (though with my dad). Any tips on how to help her overcome her fear and get her on the ride?
I used to be outright terrified of big roller coasters. I just worked up the nerve to ride the biggest, baddest coaster in the park, and after the one ride, I realized that I absolutely loved the rush. I wanted to ride it again and again and again.
