Oh…my…GOD! The Griffon is amazing. I totally freaked out my first time on it. I was a shaking mess of goo when it finally stopped, and I jumped out of my seat, breathing as if I’d never felt oxygen in my lungs before.. But it was so worth it. After that first initial shock, I enjoyed it so much. I can’t believe I was so afraid of coasters. They really are great.

How I did it: I rode my first "roller coaster" at Knotts Berry Farm in 6th grade. I'd ridden rides like Thunder Mountain Railroad and stuff at Disney World, but this I considered a "real" roller coaster. It was wooden and I think it was called Ghost Rider? It was so much fun! So then I went on one that did forward and backward loops and loved that too! Now I'll go on almost any roller coaster! I love the ones that go nearly straight down, they're so sc… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went to a theme park with work. Simply jumped in the queue, waited for ages (petrified) and then held on tight for the ride. The ride was good fun even though I was very scared. It didn't motivate me to go on more rides but I'm glad I did it and hope I develop some courage to ride more in the future. Read how I did it…
How I did it: My parents took me to Disney Land when I was about 7. It was then when I first rode my first roller coaster. I think it was called space moutain. I nearly peed my pants. And mum nearly lost her glasss. Next time I was on a roller coaster was when I was 15. Dad took us to Dreamworld, Movie World in Brisbane. Best roller coasters ever. Read how I did it…
HOMETOWN GLORY Scream loud. Louder.
How I did it: I think the first time I rode a rollercoaster was when I was 4 years old. It was a baby one but still! I still love rollercoasters. I don't think I've ever been scared to ride them, so I don't have any advice on getting the courage to go on them, but they are AWESOME and exhilarating. Really. Read how I did it…

I did when I was younger but hated it! I’m not scared to try again but I don’t want to for some reason? Memories of being hurled around and feeling very sick are all I have of it. I need to do this though!
Years ago. Now I don’t like to, I prefer to go on rides I know I’ll enjoy, as I don’t really enjoy bigger rides, but I suppose at least I gave them a try once or twice, but I would never go on the REALLY big rides.
Gloomie is rather sick :(
I never have and I really want to.
I’m sure I would be scared out of my mind, but I still want to try it.
I’m terrified of rollercoasters! I really want to go on one, but as a child noone in my family would go on with me, and now that I’ve left it so long my fear has kind of grown. I’ve decided next time I go to a theme park I’m just going to do it!

The roller coasters I rode were at Magic Mountain when it was off season. It was so much fun because there were hardly any people at the park and we rode lots of rides with no lines all day long. The Viper was so much fun.

Not that I was scared or that it wasn’t exciting, I’m fine with heights and all that stuff, but the last rollercoaster I went on, I was too small and shouldn’t have been allowed on. I mean I was taller than the “you must be this tall to ride” line, but that was not a responsible judge of size, and I was thrown about so much, I was in pain for days afterwards.
And after that they shut the theme park closest to me and we haven’t been nable to kiss and make up.

I used to be a person that was not afraid of anything… but the older i got, the scarier they became! I just always get to the front of the line, then chicken out!!
