Have you ever heard of Acrophobia? It's the irrational fear of heights, even when someone isn't very high up.
Oh yes, I experience it a lot especially on rollercoasters. Can you tell me more about it?
Actually the fear of roller coasters is related to acrophobia and claustrophobia as well. Also the term akron means peak, summit, edge or fear.
I see no wonder I hate rollercoasters since I am claustrophobic as well. Do you know if there is any treatment for this fear?
Going on the tallest/fastest roller coaster before riding a smaller roller coaster is the best cure for roller coaster phobia.
Is there anything else I should know about Acrophobia?
Yes, about 2-5% of people suffer from acrophobia, so you are not alone.
I was starting to get worried that I was the only weird person with such fears!
