im 20 and never been on a roller coaster… fml. BUT i plan to go to six flags sometime soon and cant wait
How to go on a roller coaster
How I did it: I went in PortAventura in Spain where I stood in a que for 20 minutes, waiting and then chickened out.
I went to Stockholm to Grona Lund. I had been mentally preparing myself for the last few weeks or so, since Spain, really by not thinking about it but knowing I had to do it.
I took my sister to the bathroom while my mother stood in the que, which helped the not thinking about it theory.
When it was our turn, we got on, pulled the over-head lock down, and thats when I remembered that I couldnt do it. I panicked and the roller-coaster started. eek
We started slowly, in a straight line, and I was the only one screaming!
Then the climbing started. We went higher and high and when we were about two meters higher up, I decided I wouldnt be able to take it and therefore had to squint, not able to keep my eyes open, but not wanting to close them either since that wouldnt be the full 'coaster experience.
Then I'm pretty sure I blacked out for a while, because I dont remember the going down bit to well. We swirled a bit and I remeber seeing the people below us. The uncontrollable stomach feeling that all joy-rides bring was becoming more bearable, and almost enjoyable.
And then it was over! A whole minute worth of spectacularness!
Lessons & tips: Just do it! Even if you regret it, it will be over quiet quickly.
Definately something I recommend for your ''Do it once in your life time'' list.

So i chickened out because I cannot breathe and be at a height at the same time and I kinda have to breathe so I refused the height. I will try to go again though in two weeks when I,ll be in Stockholm…
Im getting scared just thinking about it. I hope I don’t chicken out!
A month left
Im planning on doing this when I go to a theme park in Barcellona, unless they suddenly become too intimidating!... which they often do!
I do however have a back-up plan to do this in Stockholm
I have never been on a big roller coaster. So it’s something I have to do. Especially since I also want to jump out of a plane and go cliff diving…. I better start small. =]
i have this fear that the time i get on one it’ll fly off the tracks and i don’t need that. they look fun but i’ve never been one to scare myself silly to have a good time. i’d rather laugh but i’m willing to try one day.
FunnySunny is behind bars. needs to get ready for work. (I'm supposed to be there is 38 minutes)
And again and again and again!!!
some parts were cool, but I hate the shaking! I can’t imagine what one is like during the day and way up high!
I was always afraid my big ol butt wouldnt fit onthe ride, so I would never do it. But I wanna, i wanna…again…boo hoo
