Any advice for my fear?

[mgd]

I actually like goofy's sky school. I think it is designed to make you feel like it is dumping you off the edge at each corner and it is somewhat high up, there are a few small drops you feel in your stomach, but it is kind of slow and has its charm in a "goofy" way.

When I was a young kid, I was absolutely terrified of any coaster that went upside down. My uncle finally dragged me practically kicking and screaming on the demon at great america. Wound up loving it, though I still had a fear of new coasters. I finally was able to shake that fear by not only going on them constantly, but being forced to go on the front cars of Top Gun (now flight deck at Great America) and the Vortex.

As to the feeling, I eventually got used to it. My wife has that same problem and now it doesn't even phase her. A lot of it really is just repetition and going on all sorts. Of the three you will be going on, I'd say Matterhorn is the easiest on that (though it is very rough and bumpy), then Big Thunder, then Space Mountain. But all 3 of those I think are easier than Roar as far as G-Forces are concerned.

RSR has one major g-force turn

Thanks for all the advice. Now, what I am afraid of exactly? Well, besides the drops, I still don't like the g-forces on my body, or on any type. I don't know if I can handle the speed of SM, despite the coasters I've ridden are faster. Look, people tell me that it ain't that fast, but I'm still not sure.


Speaking of which, my father took me to DL in 06, and he dragged me on Sky School. I do NOT remember their jerky ness.

Do you drive? Or if your family has a car, go for a ride. Ask the driver to do the speed of each of the rides. SM is 28 mph as I mentioned. I think the standard residential speed limit in most areas of the US is 25-30 mph? I'm sure you can do that no sweat, you probably do it all the time.

Honestly, the shuttle bus to get you to Disneyland is going to go faster than many of these rides. The Monorail goes faster. Once you see in a real-life setting how fast and utterly normal these speeds are to travel, you'll probably feel better.

I don't like big roller coasters and like you, I don't like the feeling of the G-forces.
I personally would not recommend Calif. Screamin, because you do feel those on that ride.
BTMRR, like someone else mentioned is like a kiddie ride, but I would recommend sitting toward the front if you aren't sure how you will like it. I love this ride. It is a lot of fun.
As far as SM is concerned, it doesn't bother me. I actually like the fact that I can't see what is coming, that takes away the anxiety of seeing what is coming next for me. It is smooth, the drops aren't big, and you feel like you are going fast, but you really aren't. You mentioned you would be riding it while it is Ghost Galaxy, wear earplugs or stuff some kleenex in your ears, because it always seems to me like the sound is louder when it is GG.
Someone mentioned Go-Go Gadget Coaster in Toon Town, I forgot about that one! It is a lot of fun!
ETA: RSR are a LOT of fun! don't miss that ride!

I used to be a huge roller coaster fan, now they make me motion sick and nervous -and TOT makes me cry I have a thing about heights and elevators - so IDK why I ever even tried it.

I can easily do Matterhorn and Thunder Mt. There's only a couple little spots on those that loop-de-loop my stomach. Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE RSR! It's my favorite ride right now. I guess I feel more secure sitting down low in the car?

I quit Space Mt - I don't like that I can't see what's coming. Goofy's sky school freaks me out because I feel like I'm going to go over the edge. I haven't even attempted CA Screamin.

For reference, At Magic Mt I can handle Gold Rush. Ninja is ok, still makes me slightly sick.
