Fear the Four Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 I can't get my girlfriend to ride bigger rides because she got sick after she rode Flight of Fear and I almost got her to ride Firehawk and Vortex she just freaks out at the last second and I really want her to ride really bad.Do you people have any ideas for me but I don'w want to force her.

violakat03 Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 Tell her to take some Dramamine, and put her on something like Racer to see if she does okay. From there, see if she'll be willing to work up to some bigger stuff. I'm betting the fact it was dark was what made her disoriented and motion sick. Quote
Racer1972 Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 My friend did that to me too last year but he said he could wait for me until i got off but i wouldn't ask my GF to wait for me to ride. You could either ride rides that she likes or else tell her good things about roller coasters if that helps at all Quote
Fear the Four Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 She will ride anything without a loop, Son of Beast, delrium and Drop Tower andshe told me i could go ride some of the bigger rides but i just like being around her but I still want her to ride bigger so it would be funner too. Quote
VortexJunkie Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 You could try building up to large rides. Start out with some tame rides and work your way up in thrill level. As each ride gets more thrilling she might look forward to the next big thrill. Then you'll find out if she really doesn't like thrill rides, or hopefully she just doesn't like Flight of Fear. Quote
VortexJunkie Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 oh then my idea won't work. If she just doesn't like loops then that's not so bad. the only looping rides at the park are Invertigo, Flight of Fear, Firehawk, Vortex, and of course the crypt and slingshot flip around MANY times. In my opinion the easiest ride out of all of those is Vortex, so maybe try that one first to make her a loop lover! Quote
Fear the Four Posted April 30, 2009 Author Posted April 30, 2009 I'm getting her to ride Diamondback! Any tips? how i can calm her down? Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 There are only some kinds of advice we can offer here! Quote
DeLorean Rider Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 What exactly do you expect us to say here? Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Don't let her eat before she rides, that is what makes some people sick. Talk to her calmly on the way up the lift hill if you see that she is scared, and hold her hand if possible. So many people drag their friends on rides and the friend ends up traumatized and hating not only the ride, but the person that made them do it. I speak from experience.. it took me a while to get over it, but it did happen. If she doesn't want to ride coasters with loops, take her on Racer (not the blue side, it hurts!). Does she like Beast? If you want her to ride DB with you, kindly tell her that the lift is the worst part and that it's all good from there, and go on and on about how amazing it is. If she still doesn't want to ride with you, then at least I tried. Quote
Fear the Four Posted April 30, 2009 Author Posted April 30, 2009 ^You could of said what she said^ Yeah she loves The Beast that her favorite ride we are going about 9:30 and riding that.She will ride everything without a loop or Drop Tower and delerium andddd the crypt.I got her on Son of Beast and she actually put her hands up Quote
CoasterFreak45 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 My dad gets sick also and as long as he is in the front somewhat eats a good meal( about 1 hr before) he's fine. Make sure they are hydrated. Also, Tell them they will love it. It seemed to work for me telling my friends. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Someone told me I'd love Ninja at Six Flags Over Georgia. She used to be a friend. Quote
HTCO Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Just do what I did to my girly friend.. Work her from racer, to Vortex, then to DB.. but make sure you comfort her and bribe her with somthing if she rides it Works every time Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Just follow through with the bribe, or it won't be long until you don't have a girlfriend to worry about. Quote
HTCO Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Hehe, I did. Boy, that smurf ice cream is really delicious! Would you ride Diamondback for a taste of smurf ice cream? Quote
kiruler102 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 NO becuase smurfs taste gross!!!!!. You dont eat people, or whatever they really are.! Quote
HTCO Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 I guess your right.. Robot Chicken thinks take-out is better! tisk tisk. Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Would you ride Diamondback for a taste of smurf ice cream? I ride Slingshot and Drop Tower with my hands in the air. I also offered to pull the cord on my first ride on Skyflyer. You have a long way to go before you scare me. Quote
skaterboy22101 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Hehe, I did. Boy, that smurf ice cream is really delicious! Would you ride Diamondback for a taste of smurf ice cream? Im going to answer your question with another question. Would you? Quote
kiruler102 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 even with a TTD rollback, you cant tell me you wouldnt be scared, then excited, in a matter of seconds!!!! Quote
HTCO Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) Sky Dive? Now that, I would need some smurf ice cream!!! Im going to answer your question with another question. Would you? Yes. Edited May 1, 2009 by HTCO Quote
Dvo Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 ^I ride Drop Tower with my hands out too. It's kinda weird.. I get really scared at the top, but I still put my arms out. And then it's just awesome. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 even with a TTD rollback, you cant tell me you wouldnt be scared, then excited, in a matter of seconds!!!! Nope...just thrilled beyond belief. Terpy, who is beginning to think it ain't never gonna happen for him....with well over 60 TTD rides and at least three times that many on the bigger one Quote
skaterboy22101 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 ^I ride Drop Tower with my hands out too. It's kinda weird.. I get really scared at the top, but I still put my arms out. And then it's just awesome. I put my hands up, and look over the edge. It is so exelrating(sp?). Quote
kiruler102 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 hands straight out and legs straight out, i copied off of angie and KAT not knowing if KAT will do it again since she hurted her leg. Quote
Fear the Four Posted May 1, 2009 Author Posted May 1, 2009 Keep your seat loose and put your hands out. Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Tell her to take some Dramamine, and put her on something like Racer to see if she does okay. From there, see if she'll be willing to work up to some bigger stuff. I'm betting the fact it was dark was what made her disoriented and motion sick. The Racer is the only ride at the park that still makes me feel sick even after I take my Dramamine. I have no clue why it just does. Maybe take her on AE first or Flight Deck. Quote
