Iam going on a trip to Alton Towers. I think Iam wasting my money since i am not daring enough to even get onto a roller coaster. There are much more other fun and dangerous things there such as the vertical drop. I seriously want to try those. How can i prepare myself?

just bite the bullet and do it.
remeber you are over 500x more likley to die in the car on the way than on the rollacosta.
oh, and never look at the 17 year old school drop out in charge of the controlls.

Oh baby. U think u don't have the courage but there's a part of u that always CAN. I am crazy about roller coasters as of now but it took heaven and hell to get mi on my first one so i know that feeling.
First and best mental tip: go with someone extremely daring. Such person will boost ur morale. By the time he or she gets on a few and comes out alive and excited, u'll feel the need 2 get on it urself. That's how my bro got mi 2 like them. He was so happy about it that he took away the fear. Just have someone to encourage u mostly.
And best physical tip, if u don't have a strong and fast digestive system, allow at leats 2 hrs after eating before u get on a white knuckle ride (roller coaster).
Trust mi, as soon as u summon courage to get on ur first one, u'll fall in love wit them.
I dunno abt Alton but i wld suggest sth medium scale to start with. Like when i went to Thorpe park, i started with the detonator and worked my way up to stealth.
Anyway, just get in there and do it with somebody, get it over with. Gd luck.

First make sure you do not eat ANYTHING before riding it. Now for starts, first sit down and relax. Concentrate and do something like yoga. After that go outside and work out for a bit. It might help to get your body ready. After this go back to relaxing and make sure you eat all HEALTHY foods that day. Just dont eat em a hour ahead of roller coasters.

wow well i was scared of roller coasters, so i went on a REAAAAAALLY safe looking one, and it was great, so i gradually worked my way up to daring ones! i love roller coasters now! and if there is one that im not so sure of, i just bite my lip and walk right in the line. prepare your selfs that way. and physically: build up some arm muscles, so u have some muscle 2 hold on the seats lol :P

Just remind yourself that it's just a ride, and it's not very likely that you'll get hurt at all, unless you have motion sickness. Oh, and don't eat anything before you go on a roller coaster, unless you want an upset stomach.

The best way is just to make up your mind that you will do it just once and if you hate it, you never have to do it again, then just go do it. My son was terrified of going on a rollercoaster and even the people next to us said "look at that kid, I think he is going to hurl!", but even though he was worried he was going to, he was not going to chicken out as he made up his mind and decided it could be no more embarrasing for him to hurl than seeing is Mom hurl on on that rocking boat ride and have everyone know it was his Mom that did it, so he just did it and has loved going on coasters ever since.

I wouldn't go on rollercoasters, but after my friends came back saying they had such a great time, I really regreted not going for it.
Now I LOVE them! and couldn't belive how I was before.
JUST DO IT! your going to love it-trust me! The whole point is to be scared!

Just know that if you're sensitive to roller coasters, be prepared to throw up.

Soon be ready for it ;-)
