Roller Coaster Fear!!!
| Sat, 05-05-2007 - 3:18pm |
I am going to a theme park next weekend with 2 of my kids. DD is 11 and will pretty much ride anything, but DS is 8 and does not like roller coasters. He rode Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain when he was 5 without a problem and on most afternoons you can find him climbing to the top of our pear tree or the outside of his treehouse fort. He has also ridden the ski lifts without a problem. I have no idea why he will not try even a small roller coaster. My DH thinks I should almost force him to ride these roller coasters next weekend, but I refuse to do that. I am encouraging him to try but I really won't force the issue. We are going with a rather large church group and I have been on the parks web site showing DS what rides they have. I hate to admit this but I am a little embarrassed that he is aftraid of even the small roller coasters. I feel like a horrible mom. Of course I don't let him know I'm disappointed. I would just really like to ride them with him. Has anyone else experienced this? What is your advice? Thanks, Lynn

Hi Lynn!
I wish I had some advice for you, but unfortuneately, I'm also afraid of going on roller coasters!
I hate rides!! Of any kind! I even get pukey on the merry-go-round.
The only experience I have is personal - I mean me, obviously not Bella.
ITA with Ana.
