  Nope. I actually hated them, and yes, I did try it once, the experience was awful.

  Why is it that when someone says they're terrified of something that first reaction is "I'm gonna take you on this!"? I DON'T GET IT. I've tried going on rides with my friends, it didn't cure anything =| All it did was cause a horrible panic attack.
  
  Going on something or doing something doesn't always solve the fear people! @_@

  Roller coasters aren't meant to solve fear.
  
  They exploit fear to deliver a scary experience, purposely to induce pleasure of living through that experience.

  Not everybody does.
  
  Video games based off of violence like shooters, horror, etc. work off the same principle. Not everybody receives any sort of pleasure from that either.
  
  It's understandable.
