Roller coaster phobia

Alright, well I am going to my very first trip to a theme park, (Six Flags) next weekend and I'm kind of nervous. I'm going with my boyfriend, his brother and a few friends of mine. They all say that roller coasters are nothing to worry about, but I'm...

not convinced. I mean your basically putting your life in the person who is controlling the seat belts hands. That person could go crazy and let the seat belts go while the ride is still going! Everyone says I'm being paranoid, but roller coasters are my biggest fear. How can I get over this phobia?

Also, should I tie my hair back so it doesn't get caught in the machinery or something? It could happen :/

if your hair was around a meter long then youd tie it back
if its not too long you dont have too
but its best to anyway so its not all in your face
as for the rollercosters people going crazy, most likley wont happen
were pretty much putting put lives in danger every time we step out of the house
because anything could happen
however death from a rollercoaster is very unlikly
you should be fine
as for me I dont like rollercoasters, not so much because I dont trust them...but because I cant stand the going down bit!

put your hair back if it will make you feel better when your on a roller coaster talk to your friends or your boy friend during the ride. so you wouldnt really be paying attention to the ride soo it will take your mind off of it. or on the ride closs your eyes also be fore the ride try not to eat a lot so you dont get sick or anything!

ok I love elitches!!! So if you ride with your boyfriend its all good because I ride wit guys and I have fun but wit friends I freak out and get scared but I am over it I ride all the roller coasters so just gain confidence ride wit your boyfriend and have some fun
