Note: This blog tackles not only my experience on how I manage my fear from extreme rides but also highlights the rides we experience and also include the rides and attraction that we have never experience and reference it from Enchanted Kingdom website as of August 24, 2019. Thus, contents like, prices, attractions, rides and the like maybe subject for change as time goes by. You may also refer to the links for each topic.

It was way back in high school when I noticed that I have fear of heights specifically from extreme rides. That was after riding ANCHORS AWAY of Enchanted Kingdom. I still remember the feeling of discomfort, when the high wind approaches my face while falling. The feeling was like downing from the massive amount of air pressure that blocks your air passage that causes your breathing to stop for a few moment.

I never had an issue going to Enchanted Kingdom with my child, since he’s just a kid back then and unable to go to extreme rides.

Rio Grande Rapids

I would personally suggest to put ride Rio Grande as your last option of rides as you definitely soak with water afterwards or better to bring extra clothes that it wrap in a zip lock plastic. Rushing over rough waters on board a rubber raft is no tame experience. The Rio Grande Rapids is an exhilarating family (or group) ride that has guests constantly catching their breath while traversing raging white water. Each of the eleven (11) circular rafts can seat 8 riders for this awesome and refreshing water adventure. Reference Link

Jungle Log Jam

This is 6th of my extreme rides list that I am afraid of, but I can’t escape any more because during the time that my son reaches the qualified height for extreme rides, he wanted to experience them all. Of course, As a mom I want to be with him in this journey so I learn to realize to face this fear. I remember my husband’s advice when I told him about my fear of extreme rides, he was my boyfriend that time and wanted to be with me on that experience, he told me to shout as much as I could, close my eyes so I could easily catch my breath. and I take his advice to be with him and my son in this magical experience.

This is an exciting water ride that takes guests two times up a lift and down a slope before splashing into the water. The Jungle Log Jam gives the thrill of racing along a twisting river with up and down chutes, while seated in a dug-out log. There are seventeen (17) logs that can seat up to four (4) guests each.

Space Shuttle

The Space Shuttle is a thrilling roller coaster ride that turns guests upside-down 6 times – 3 times forward and 3 times backward – all in two minutes! With 28 seats in seven (7) coaches to choose from, guests will surely experience the exhilarating encounter with gravity, whichever seat is selected. Reference Link

The Space Shuttle is 5th of the Extreme ride on my list that I am afraid of. When the ride takes off , my heart pounds as the gear clicking while watching myself climb higher and my mind counting every foot. Then all the noises stop and I feel rumbling as gravity rips the cars down while the wind is slapping my face and even after the boost of my shout lasts The car still not reaching the ground. And after the ride my body still shaking from the twist turns and loops.

Anchors Away

This Extreme ride is 4th of my list of rides that I am afraid of because while your brain adjusts you still feel the adrenaline flowing fast. And even I am still lock in my seat I don’t feel like I am, I feel like my body left in the air even the ship reaches the ground. And when the ride stops I feel like crawling into a dark motionless hole feeling terrified.

Air Race

• 

Air Race is 2nd on my list of Extreme rides that I am afraid of , my stomach twitch as the ride spin and spin in the air it feels like I want to go down even that ride still not starting.

Air Race boasts of six (6) acrobatic planes that can fly four (4) passengers each. Famous for its simulation of acrobatic exhibition flights, this thriller ride banks, loops, dives, and mimics weightlessness as each plane rotates anywhere 360 degrees while revolving around a central tower. The country’s first and only, Air Race also features remarkable visuals for riders and spectators alike. Reference Link

Extreme Tower

Extreme Tower is top on my list of the extreme rides that I am afraid of, The height of this ride is like a sky high and as the ride suddenly drop, even I shout, it’s automatically stops even before reaching the ground. Seems like it reaching my limit.

This thrill ride gives guests a breathtaking view of the expanse surrounding Enchanted Kingdom. The EKstreme Tower takes the rider a minute to get to the top almost 40 meters high before suddenly dropping at 76 kph. This ride will leave you screaming your lungs out for more. Reference Link

My Realization

My realization is that even the fear that I experience when riding Extreme rides and even my heart still pounding faster remembering the scream of everyone riding with me, I have learned how to manage this fear. Usually I closed my eyes, as the visual of falling doubled the fear and shout as much as I could to overcome the fear of height and the air that slapping my face that causes the downing feeling from the massive amount of air occupying my lungs. I face this fear, in order to be with my family. As they encourage me to have fun with them. It’s like motivating my self that the happiness that my family experience with me is stronger than my fear.
