If you are anything like me, you want to love roller coasters but they are so terrifying you literally have a panic attack while sitting in the front row of a massive roller coaster (yes, this actually happened...) Seriously, about 12 hours ago, a group of my friends and myself were at Six Flags over in Georgia and I could not have been more terrified.

Like I said, I love the idea of roller coasters! The adrenaline rush, the high speeds, and having fun with your friends sounds awesome.... and then you reach the front of the line. My heart was pounding when we reached the front and it was our turn to ride. I sat in my seat knowing that I was terrified but i tried my best to suck it up and ride the ride. Yeah... that did not happen.

I instantly started shaking and I was demanding to get off ASAP. But, unfortunately it was too late for that. I was in for the ride and when it began to climb up the 200 foot track to the top. I wanted off and I wanted off right then. When we reached the top of the ride and began to roll forward, my heart was pounding and I was screaming as loud as I could. I could not wait for it to be over.

After going down countless steep drops and turns at who knows how fast, it was finally over. At the end, my fears of this ride seemed so crazy to me, so we used our Platinum Flash Passes, which allowed you to skip the regular lines an also double ride, and rode it again. I thought it was crazy that in a matter of minutes, seconds really, my irrational fear of the unknown went away and I could not wait to ride it again.

So, long story short, your fear of not knowing what the journey or outcome of something will be, like a roller coaster ride at an amusement park or anything happening in your life, is probably not as bad as your mind has convinced you. Get on the roller coaster, face your fears and ride it again... if you have the Platinum Flash Pass, of course.
