Roller coasters can be scary if they are fast.The article will show you how to have fun on a roller coaster.
Step 1: Self calming techniques can be practiced.
It will all be worth it once you have done this, breathe slowly and deeply and think positively.
Step 2: Tell your friends about the fun and safety of using the roller coaster.
It is not as bad as it looks.The tracks are tested all the time to make sure they're safe.The default position is locked and it takes more effort to open them.You are more likely to get hurt in a car accident if you look up the statistics of injury on a roller coaster.People scream because it's exciting scary.It is only for a short time.Even if the worst case scenario happens and you don't like it, it will only last for about 2 1/2 minutes.You have conquered it!
Step 3: You got on, praise you.
It's going to be all right now that I'm here.I have finally done it.
Step 4: Go with someone you trust.
This can help keep you calm and give you feedback from someone who knows how to deal with fear better.Don't choose someone who is afraid of you.It can turn into a situation where you feed off each other's fear and make things worse.
Step 5: Check your harness, bar or other restraint twice.
Several of the newer roller coasters don't have 'clicking' restrains, so listen for the click or other sound it makes when it shuts down.You don't have to move as much because the restraint is closer to your lap.The restraints are still safe and won't be unlocked during the ride.
Step 6: Keep your eyes open.
You can feel nauseated if you shut them..
Step 7: To breathe deeply, aim.
It can help keep you calm and reduce the chance of vomiting.If you keep your breathing steady, count under your breath.
Step 8: Listen to the music.
Music accompanies the ride.If you concentrate on listening to the words or tune, this may calm you.
Step 9: You should scream.
That's what the ride is all about!It helps to release stress and expel air when you scream from high drops.
Step 10: Talk to your friends.
It is a good idea to talk during the ride.If it's hard to hear, you might end up yelling and being mean to other people.The best place to talk is on the lift hill.
Step 11: Stay at the front.
This will make you feel less scared.If you're looking for more thrills, it's not a good idea to sit here.The cart behind you will allow you to not see the biggest field of view.
Step 12: You should praise yourself at the end.
You did it.You know you can do it again.It's a great thing that you're practicing this lifelong skill because overcoming fear is a constant challenge in life.
