<\/p>\nI asked on Instagram to send me your fears and it turns out quite a few of you guys have this fear. Truthfully I was once afraid of Valhalla for many reasons, so I really do get this fear. As always I\u2019m no expert in this, it\u2019s just a few ideas & ways I\u2019ve found has helped me. I hope you guys enjoy and find this somewhat useful!<\/p>\n
I found as much as I love boat rides now I had to start of with rides that are smaller in length. The darkness often was something which scared me a lot as well as the unknown. So I\u2019d search through YouTube of the place I was visiting to find which indoor water ride had the shorter duration.<\/p>\n

I found whilst I was overcoming this fear with the likes of Pirates Adventure at Drayton Manor that sitting in the middle helped a lot. I almost felt protected by everyone around me.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/8e981b1a-27a3-461f-aff4-6ef36b1d9b35.jpg?resize=300%2C225&ssl=1\")
