I've been on some really bad ones before at Six Flags (Vertical Velocity, Roar, etc); the only ones I can really stand are the rides that don't go more than 20 mph, i.e. the kiddie rides. I hate the drops and the fast turns. My friends are merciless, and I will literally be _dragged_ into a ride with a 150ft drop. We're going in August, and I'd rather not be the only one to drop out because I'm a chicken.
Any advice? My chest gets tight just thinking about roller coasters; this is more than what "ride a ride a lot until you start to like it" can help. The chances something'll happen to me is slim to none, I know, but the actual fear of being strapped down by nothing more than a belt, with my legs dangling a hundred feet above the ground, is overwhelming.
I've been on Medusa, Vertical Velocity, and the rest of the ones that make you crap your pants. Is there some sort of medication I can take before getting on the ride, to help deal with the heights and speed?
