Finally, don't go with him if you aren't ready to spend a day without a ride on any of the bigguns.

You could try to explain to him that they are safe and that nothing is going to happen to him. Maybe you could tell him riding a coaster is like going to a haunted house, you want to get scared to get a rush, but you know that nothing bad is going to happen.
Like Brain said, you may just have to spend the day on milder rides. What fun is it if the both of you are not enjoying yourselves?

He has not ridden a roller coaster since...
Guess who's back? Back Again? James K's back. Tell a friend.
Participants will be lectured by three experts (technical expert, coronary specialist and a conductor of anti-flight-fear-seminars). The seminar will end, of course, with rides on "EGF".
The seminar will cost 99€ (including entrance to the park and a hotel room) and will take place on May 21st.
I think this is a brilliant idea and a very good PR stunt. On the other hand, its funny that a park whith only two coasters (the other being a Corkscrew) is offering such a seminar.
I´d guess that more enthusiasts than "patients" will participate.
Now, if he does really want to ride... Start him out on CCMR or Iron Dragon. I'd recomend ID, as it looks intimidating, but is really a rather fun ride (without a big drop). Then I'd nail him with Blue Streak, Gemini, or Corkscrew. If he's still game, I would introduce him to a little girl named Maggie... but for God's sake, don't put him in the ejector seat, and make sure his seatbelt's fairly tight!!
I guess I'm not an expert on this subject though because pretty much all of my friends either like or love coasters.
