Force myself to want to go on rides?

[Moh]

Every time I go to a theme park, or go to a fair I'm always the one who doesn't go on them and is left alone for like 30 mins.

However, I have been on the corkscrew twice - less stable, hurts your head and I enjoyed it.

Yet, most the times I just can't get myself to go on the ride, even though I would most probably enjoy it once I get on.

I personally think its all the pressure people put on me when we get to rides.. nobody ever gives me the impression that the rides safe :P

So is there anyway I can just tell myself to go on a ride? Any tips pls :P

Call yourself names, and tell yourself you are a wimp and stuff, 'cos that's why I do :D

i used to be like this at like 13 but now i just go on them. i managed to do this by thinking "im not going to die" now i LOVE BIG SCARY RIDES.

I always used to be the one who didnt go on rides, I was the big wuss and everything.

Thing is, most rides are safe otherwise they wouldn't be running. You rarely hear about someone dying cuz of a fairground, it'd be in the news fo sho. I went to Thorpe Park and thats where I met my thrillseeking roots. I just thought to hell with it, you only live once and thats the attitude you gotta have.

Remember you only live once, the feeling of being on a rollercoaster is great. :D

and you might get kidnapped sometime if you wait on your own, yano. So it's best to go on the ride.

Just enjoy it, think how bad ass you will look if you go on it and survive.

Just try to put on a brave face and act as if you are excited, It works all the time for me when I am ******** my self on a ride.

I can kid other people, just not myself :P

I used to be scared of rides but went onto the Rockin rollacoaster at Disney World (not knowing what it really was) and have been hooked since :P

So I guess you could ask your friends to blind fold you until your strapped in? :D

[Caution]

just think it wouldn't be there if it wasn't safe + and you'll probably regret not going on it if you don't.

Don't be put off by the Corkscrew, thankfully they've got rid of it now but for someone who's scared of roller coasters it would be awful, it looks tame compared to others but because it's so old it's so noisy, uncomfortable and you do get smashed around on it a lot.

The likes of Oblivion, Nemesis and Air are all very smooth rides, you don't get smashed around at all, and because you're strapped in from above on Nemesis and Air, if you're not at the front you don't know what's coming which I find lessens the tension a bit, though I guess it could serve the opposite feeling.

[Indie-Dan]

This is difficult but try not to see what happens in the ride, just go on it, then be surprised at what happens :P

[Pazza]

I just said to myself that if I don't go on the ride i'll never know what it's like, so I may aswell try, and if I like it I'll go on it again and again xD If I don't I know I don't like it and have an excuse.

[Alkaz]

You have to push yourself through it, when I went to thorpe park a couple of years ago I squished my fear for roller coasters, I went on collossus, nemisis, detinator, rush, all the bigger rides and loved it and then when stealth opened i was straight in there wich I would never have been before hand.

[Jord]

Well It aint scarey so im sure you can force yourself I do it :)

[Toughened]

I used to be the biggest chicken going. I wouldn't go on anything. Then when I was 10 I went to Flamingo Land and went on the ride that blasts you into the air and loved it although it did scare me. That's the thrill though so.

I promised from then on I'd have to go on the biggest ride in every themepark and I have ever since, and loved every one of them.

I just took it a step at a time and not thought of the outcome. Like I'd just stand in the queue and have a laugh with my family/friends. Then just get strapped in. Then it hits you and that's the thrill so just enjoy that feeling.

:)

i hate rollarcoasters and rides, im always forced to go on them though and end up swearing, alot and shouting at the person who forced me to go on it lmao

[Cypher-]

Sorry, its a theme park ride? Noone is asking you to jump out of a plane, Id say gurn up and just do it.

[e5]

I'm the same lmao

I'm scared, although after the ride/during it - i'd love it lmao.
