I’m terrified of roller coasters and haven’t been on one in about 10-12 years. Really want to give it another shot!

odds
Your chances of being fatally injured on a roller coaster (or similar amusement park ride): 1 in 1.5 billion (yes, billion, with a “B”)
Your chances of being fatally injured by an automobile: approximately 1 in 18,000.
Drive yourself over to the nearest amusement park and stay there. :-)
Statistics don't lie
Thanks for that extra boost of confidence, although my stomach is still skeptical regarding how it will fare on the roller coaster in comparison to a car ride :)

“There is lies, damn lies and then there is statistics.” :-)
PArk rides (roller coasters included) tend to be very safe. However, they are design to “challenge” your senses and exploit your “fears”. Heights, high speeds, quick turns, and if you are lucky, negative gravity (i.e. upside down and those “your stomach floats up to your throat” feelings) are all meant to excite you … scare you if you don’t get e thrill for that sort of thing.
So, I am not saying you won’t be scared, just that you probably won’t die … probably … but that is just a stat :-)
