So in honor of the giant thrill rides, we want to hear about a time you were scared to go on a roller coaster but overcame that fear.
For me, it was when I finally went on the Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point.
I grew up going to Cedar Point every summer as a child (sometimes we’d even go twice) because it was just a quick two hour drive from home. I would go on some of the roller coasters, but I absolutely drew the line at Top Thrill Dragster. There was no way that I was going to subject myself to going that high in the air.
It wasn’t until I went to Cedar Point in college with some friends that I worked up the courage to finally go on the ride. It was probably a combination of peer pressure and not wanting to look like a fool around my new college friends, but I went on the ride and had so much fun. I couldn’t believe I let fear get in the way of going on such a fun roller coaster.
So what is your story? Did you overcome a fear of roller coasters? Or maybe you’ve just always loved them and can’t get enough? Whatever the case may be, post a photo of your favorite roller coaster in the form below, and write a little bit about your personal roller coaster story.
