Scared of rides with high heights?

One of my good friends and I are going to Six Flags next week, and he wants me to go on the one called “Acrophobia” on which you go up really high and just drop, once. It’s a LONG drop though and I’m scared to death of drops. He does not want to go alone though. There is one other ride I’m scared of and it’s called “Goliath”, the biggest coaster in the park that I went on before and I’m deathly afraid of, and it’s his favorite ride. I think all other roller coasters are fun but what do I do? My mom was saying it’s so lame I don’t want to go on those two and that I need to conquer my fears. I’m not afraid of getting hurt.. I’m just deathly afraid of the falls even after I go on the two rides many times.

What do I do?

Thanks

    the best thing to do to overcome it is to just go on it. the point of these rides are to scare you, and that’s what it’s doing. it’s fun to go on it and laugh about it later. =).

    ok to over come your fears, this is what you do. And i know it sounds crazy but it works. get a bean bag or tons and tons of pillows. Put them on the floor. Get to a ledge and jump. i do it with my bro all the time. Only i have a hudge bean bag. Not to high of a leadge but high enough.

    This works becuase your body gets used to falling, so even if its not a big jump it still gives you the feeling of free falling

    Or what you can do is just go on it. Close your eyes and scream. Either way it works

    I hear ya girl I am terrified of drops but what I would do is stall and if that dosent work fake sick before you go on the ride.

    that roaller coaster is soooooooo scary. Just practice jumping from like 3 stairs at a time and you will get used to it. but be careful so you dont fall

    lol, those are sssooo scary, but fun. youll get such an adreniline rush. just mess with your friend, be like “yeah dude LETS DO THIS!!” even if your not ready. until you get on. then you don’t have a choice. when you fall, just hold on the the car, him, or whatever, close your eyes and scream like girl as loud as you can. When you get off you’ll be laughing so hard. Don’t worry, it’ll be great!!

    Okay those seem like huge rides!I would be scared too.Heres what you should do.
    1 – one idea is to admit you are highly afraid of those rides I’m sure he would understand.
    2- or mabey get over your fear and take deep breathes on the coasters close your eyes(not on the falling one)and have fun! hope that helps=)
