Well, first off, do not lie about what the ride is like. Your friend won't ever trust you again. The best solution is to just bring your friend through the line with you, and once you get to the station, they can just walk through.(or end up riding, if you're lucky) They might end up deciding to ride...and if not, at least they'll be able to see all the happy riders returning, and this could help persuade them to ride.

My friends dad wouldn't ride Nitro opening day because he thought it was to tall even though he rode Apollo. We told him it was smaller then Apollo but he was to smart for that so since its our home park we decided to ride it all day because the other coasters could be rode anytime. We rode that so many times he got bored to death so finally he said he was to bored and rode it. He loved it by the way. This would only work for a park you have rode everything though because a new park you don't have time to fool around and get all the coasters in.
For me, it's like trying to ski with someone who's still on the bunnyhill. It's a bad combination. Ride with people of your "skill level" and you'll have a much better time. Or ride by yourself instead of trying to force someone on something they don't want to ride.
