It isn't the actual drops that bother me, it's that feeling in my stomach when I'm falling. I wish I could get past that and enjoy it. How can I?

Rollercoasters are intended to scare you. That is the thrill. If you take a long slow breath as you are falling and let it out slowly you will miss part of the falling sensation.
I was afraid when I was a kid and my girlfriend talked me into going on it until it felt like nothing. We rode it 13 times in a row. The last 3 or 4 rides were meaningless. You could try that method.

I am terrified of roller coasters. I am reading all of these responses and I am thinking, easier said then done. I wish I could ride roller coasters, but I could never face the fear I dont care how much I was offered. I have the feeling you are describing and heights scare the hell out of me. Ugh... the thought scares me.

Don't hold in when you are on one. Scream, laugh, go crazy. Just don't hold it in. It's very freeing when you just let go and enjoy it. And remember, many people ride these, and if they can do it, so can you.
I rode Tower of Terror this past summer. OMG an absolute blast. And that thing drops a lot.

you can't truly lose your fear of rollercoasters. when everybody rides they all have the fear in them, but that's what makes rollercoasters fun. You just have to take care of it little by little and hope your stomach doesn't cave.

Ohhh I don't know that there is a way, I am almost paralyzed when it comes to riding a roller coaster. I just accept that about myself and move on to another ride.
Good luck

Like Gina said, let rip!!! (From the attic, not the basement, if you please)
Also, go with a friend who can help you face your fear if you want to do it.
It's your choice. After all, no one needs roller coasters to survive.

Just keep doing it. You'll be surprised how soon it will not have that effect anymore. It's called desensitization. It works.

Keep rolling, taking just a bite at a time.
