Closing your eyes takes out all of that sort of fear with Spidey. Your eyes are tricking you most of the time (same with Simpsons). Closing eyes lets you ONLY feel what the ride is doing, and eliminates the mind tricks. Doesn't feel a thing like falling off a building with your eyes closed.
Weightless...I find that breathing OUT for the entire weightless part helps immensely. I used to love coasters on my own, and now I want to still go on them though I am scared to death. And I have to go, right now, because although my son could go on alone, I'm scared even more to death of the idea of him being on them alone. I want him to not be fearful, but I am fearful *and* I don't want to stop him too much. Make sense? So I'm going on these things while not liking them. And I've had to find ways to deal with them. Inhaling fully before you get to the drops and then exhaling slowly during the drops helps keep my heart and stomach out of my throat, so to speak.
Now that I shall try! I used to love that feeling but when I hit my thirties I suddenly hated it Its the same with flying. Used to fly on my own all the time then suddenly I develop this fear and Im afraid of turbulence because of the same feeling
thanks for trying, but some of us don't want to experience it for ourselves unttilwe know what it entails! lol
waht I would like to see .. and it could be called a spoiler thread... is something like this:
first you are launched at such and such a speed up a big hill.... then.... you spin aroun 360 degrees, 2 times.. then.... etc. etc.
OR first it FEELS loike you are launched, but you really aren't, it's simulated.. then.... etc etc
yes, I really want to know exactly what will happen to me if I go on the ride. lol some think it silly, but that's me.
lol with you on that!
That inhale/exhale trick is how I manage the big drop on Splash Mtn and Jurassic Park. However, the ride photos look ridiculous. It does work, though!
yep gonna try it. I think I normally hold my breath in fear lol so I just breath out as we're about to drop?
