    I got over my fear of roller coaster by going on one when I was about 13. I didn’t go on a huge one or a long one or one that did much but go upside down once. My fear wasn’t so bad that I only did kids’ rides, so I don’t know if this approach will work with you, but it’s worth a shot. Just start out smaller than a roller coaster if all adult rides give you problems.

    first began to go on rides like indiana jones (disneyland) which had a few of jerky turns, so that led my to get used to things I did not expect. there are not many scary coasters at Disneyland as you may think.
    California adventure was more frightening. I went on california screamin with my friends so I had to show them i was brave. I still kept my head down the whole ride, but afterwards, I felt like I could do it again and again. the next time, I kept my head up the whole time and had the best time ever. if there are loops, they last about 2 seconds at most.
    Afterwards, you will feel Euphoric and great. Trust me. and… GOOD LUCK! sorry i mostly talked about Disney :(

    Go on a ride that has a fast lift first, cause rides with a slow lift, are annoying if you’re scared. A fast lift won’t give you as much time to think about it and you will be able to enjoy it. Also build your way up, don’t start on the fastest roller coaster there. Pick a decent thrill ride to start, then work your way up.
