VelociCoaster is a Jurassic Park-themed roller coaster using new technology that makes riders feel certain they will die, secured by only a lap bar. The ride’s twists, loops, and turns feel extremely long to some riders, lasting about 90 seconds. The narrator reports increased fear in mid-30s, extending beyond physical danger to mistakes while driving, leaving the burner on, and sending wrong emails. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates 19.3 million Americans have specific phobias. The narrator also notes sudden irrational fears emerging with age, including a sibling’s fear of heights and a mother’s fear of flying.
