Truthfully if the breakdown involves dark spaces I\u2019m still in this boat, I don\u2019t do too greatly in the dark. But today I thought I\u2019d discuss some tips for overcoming a fear of breakdowns whilst on a ride\/rollercoaster. Thank you to those who shared this fear with us. I hope this is somewhat helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Safety First:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Of course, safety is paramount in all circumstances whilst visiting a theme park. Breakdowns are often happening to ensure the safety of you. It\u2019s the best way to think of these situations. If the ride begins again it\u2019s safe to do so, or you\u2019ll be evacuated and escorted back to normality. Try & remind yourself the breakdown is for your own safety. Rides such as Duel tend to stop quite regularly due to disabled guest entering & exiting vehicles. <\/span><\/p>\n

Listen For Announcements:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Regardless of the ride or circumstances of the stoppage on any ride, you\u2019ll more than likely receive frequent updates. The majority of rides will announce when the ride is about start again. I personally find been kept in the know, comforting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep Occupied:<\/span><\/h2>\n

If your on a rollercoaster and outdoors simply keep yourself occupied by looking around. Start to plan your next few rides. If your with others have a chat about the views or what they\u2019d like to do next. Simply keeping yourself occupied helps pass what may seem like an hour but more than likely 10-15 minutes wait. Even start a game up to keep yourself busy. <\/span><\/p>\n

Deep Breathing:<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s always important to remember to breath deep when you feel afraid. If your at a high point of the said ride just remember your safe & you\u2019ll be okay. If it\u2019s too much for you to handle just simply close your eyes. There\u2019s no shame in doing so as it just helps to block of what\u2019s making you feel afraid. Just keeping breathing & you\u2019ll be off again by time you know it.<\/span><\/p>\n
