Essay on Overcoming my Fear of Roller Coasters

Roller coasters are one of the most popular rides when you go to an amusement park with everybody in your family. Why are they so scary for some people while for others it is just another adrenaline rush? Roller Coasters are one of the most complicated rides to build and to actually ride. There are some people who just have fun building something to have a quick adrenaline rush before going to work. Roller coasters have some of the most interesting design and history; they have become one of the world’s famous rides at every amusement park.

After this event I am so worried for the safety of my siblings. The reason for this is because I was responsible for them. I had to keep them safe. We rode lots of rides and got to take photos with the people dressed In monster custom. We ate lots of sugary snacks, rode lots of roller coasters more than once. And even called our parents to see if we can stay late since it closed lat.

Fear. What exactly is it? For me, it’s the twisting in my stomach, the uneasiness that’s starting to rise up from my belly to my throat, the knots slowly forming into a bundle of nerves, and all the anxiety that comes along with it. In this paper, I will be discussing my learning experience with my fear of roller coasters and analyze them with the perspective of learning theories. I will analyze my learning experience(s) with regards to classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning. This is how I learned to be afraid of roller coaster(s).

It was our first trip to Disney World, and we were visiting what I thought, was the scariest ride in the world. I thought that certain ride was scary, because ever since I was five I would always throw up on the roller coasters, or even car rides. I hated roller coasters ever since I threw up. I thought to myself, ‘This is Disney World we’re talking about, I have to go on this ride, I need this. I promised myself I would go on every single ride here. I will get over this fear.’ After that thought I looked at my dad, as he was already planning on going on this ride. The ride was called Space Mountain, I was told that people with motion sickness shouldn’t go on the ride, but that won’t stop me. I’ve also been told it is a pretty cool and fun ride, so that is another reason why I’m going on Space Mountain.

I sat in the seat, even more scared than when I started. My heart was beating fast, and sweat dripped down my face. My mother could see how nervous I was and tried to comfort me, but no words could change my expectations now. The ride began with a loud noise and the cart began to move. Soon we would start our slow ascent to the peak of the roller-coaster with my anxiety continuing to grow. Until finally we reached the precipices and the cart stopped as we all looked at the steep slope we would soon plummet down.

Everyone remembers their first ride on a roller coaster, an experience of terror, joy and excitement, as you tower over amusement parks going through curves and loops. From wooden wonders and steel coasters to twisters and corkscrews, the great rides began with the Russian ice slides in the 17th century and have developed into the ultimate thrill machines of today. The origins of the roller coaster will probably never be a settled issue, historians and coaster enthusiasts could argue where it all began (Harris). The success and evolution of the roller coaster and white-knuckle ride has inextricably mirrored the growth and changing perception of the amusement park industry over the years. A period of

Have you ever had that feeling when you’re about to go on a spine-chilling roller coaster well, that’s me at the state fair of Texas OCT,10,2017. I will always remember that day, that was the first time ever riding on a roller coaster and the first time at the fair,I was so nervous, terrified my cousin was there,friend,mother,and aunts and It was a marvelous day.

RPF has been like a roller coaster ride (as overused as it is) going up so high at the top, then descending below, then rising back up again. Our very existence has affected the community in so many ways unimaginable to the point where without our existence, the community would be much different from it is now and long before. And after such a long ride, we're finally here, celebrating the 10th anniversary of one of the most legendary Club Penguin Armies of all time, the Rebel Penguin Federation. We've passed the torch down to so many different people, with admirable and/or infamous qualities and abilities. It would range from figureheads or legends who shaped the community, to infamous backstabbers who tried to destroy us and possibly others too. It's truly amazing to see how this structure is still standing up to this day, celebrating a decade of being alive.

My life used to be great! I was the main attraction at Jerry’s Amusement Park. Everyone waited in line just to ride me. Everyone loved me because I was the tallest, fastest, and best looking roller coaster in the entire park. The other roller coasters were jealous that they didn’t get all the attention. I would remind them every day that I was the best roller coaster in the park. I had almost no friends because of that. Now, I’m ignored, forgotten, all alone, and left to rot. Just like the junk pile that is next to the park.

"Why won't you ride this one at least? There's only one flip," my cousin repeatedly states in slightly altered ways to convince me to ride one roller coaster or the other. Time after time, I embarrassingly decline. I give an excuse, "You guys go on ahead, I gotta pee anyways." Why am I so opposed to roller coasters? I understand that they are safe, despite resembling a rampant dragon, but I've grown to appreciate being in control of my own body rather than violently thrusting about in a cart of rancid smelling tourists. Well, that's a lie. The true reason is that I am unequivocally fearful of flipping. This seemingly unambiguous fear of roller coasters is because of a predated motor vehicle accident when I was young.

The moment I believed would mark one of the best summer day of my life. As I got on the ride I slowly buckled up and my hands immediately grabbed on tightly the metal harness. While waiting on the people to start the machine I was closing my eyes and imaging how it would feel. Suddenly my feet were off the ground and I found myself looking up. At first I did not dare look down, for I thought I would start panicking. I quickly looked down and saw lights then looked back up. While it arrived to the highest point I said “This is a precious moment in your life, just take the time to look at the beauty in front of you.” I started to look down and got to see the whole park. It was like seeing Christmas lights, it was bright with different colors. Instantaneously the ride dropped, I felt as if my heart was going to come out of my body. I screamed so hard that I could feel my veins in my head accumulating the blood from the pressure of the ride and from me screaming. It stopped half way and it took us up again. This time it did not go all the way, but it slowly went up and once again it quickly went down. At the end of the ride, as my feet touched the ground I was so thankful to God that I made it through without having a heart attack or panic

My sister Jenny had just recently moved to Williamsburg from overseas, her oldest daughter Maddie was already back in school at Walsingham Academy but, her son Alex had yet to start school again so they went to Busch gardens. I got done with college early that day and went to join them at Busch gardens. It had been a little over a year since I had last seen them so I was excited to see them and ride some roller coasters.

For many people, there is only one reason to go to an amusement park: the roller coaster. Some people call it the "scream machine," with good reason. The history of this ride reflects a constant search for greater and more death-defying thrills.

The ride I designed is featuring the ninja turtles. I created this roller coaster for people that are adventurous and looking for a cool and fun ride. When I ride this ride it feels so amazing you go so fast and the loops are so much fun. Every loop is something new but there's only four loops so get on and you will have a blast. The four loops include Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo. My ride reaches speeds up to 78 MPH! The start and end of my ride is where the train cart uses friction. The friction is used when it is coming to a stop. What does friction do? Friction is the surface or object rubbing against one another. The start of my ride shoots off at 78 mph and you have to make sure your head is against the seat because

Have you ever been so scared you wanted to exit your body and just go somewhere else, anywhere just not in the situation you are currently in? For example, if you ride on an elephants back for the first time. Or maybe if it is your first time ever flying a plane. I have had those many times but this is the scariest one.
