8 Rides for People With Fear of Heights or Speed
Thrill rides are part of the theme park experience. Most people would put roller coasters at the top of their list, with the Ferris wheel coming in second and all other rides following suit. What happens when some members of your family, or you, are apprehensive about these thrilling theme rides?
