Fear of roller coasters, also known as veloxrotaphobia, is the extreme fear of roller coasters. It can also be informally referred to as coaster-phobia.[1]
Such a fear is thought to originate from one or more of three factors: childhood trauma, fear of heights, and parental fears that “rub off” on their children.[2] In addition, veloxrotaphobia may be intensified by underlying fears such as claustrophobia and illygnophobia.
