Coaster Fears - CoasterBuzz

If there was a scientific term for fear of roller coasters, what should it be?

"Coasterphobic"?

Actually...

They had a special on treating people who are scared of coasters. They talked about it, then, put them in front of a wide-screen TV and played a POV of a coaster and they were all screaming and what not and they couldn't go until all of them watched it. Then, they moved to phase 2 of the program and they dragged them onto that coaster they just watched. And they all made it!

Ptboy11, I believe the coaster was the hulk right? I remember seeing something like that.

Hmmm that phobialist is very strange lol, found dsome weird phobia including this one, which i found it pretty amusing...

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words.

About the fear of roller coaster, this is the closest i could find...

Barophobia- Fear of gravity.

I remember seeing that show on the hulk it was on again not that long ago. I think most people who are afraid of coasters are afraid of heights or the feeling you get on the first drop.

DA BEARS!
My Top 5 Coasters:
1. Raging Bull(SFGAm) 2.Millenium Force(CP) 3. Deja Vu(SFGAm) 4.V2(SFGAm) 5.Cornball Express(IB)

Yeah, I believe it was Hulk because I remember it was green (like that limits it down). I love that first drop feeling, especially on Bull, that seems like the only ride that can still give it to me.
