* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': In the episode "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbBowlRAmaDrama Bowl-R-Ama Drama]]" Candace was telling Stacy had a date with Jeremy at the ferris wheel... and only then remembering that she is afraid of heights, and therefore has to think how to overcome her fear to ride it.

* ''Webcomic/EnnuiGo'': "[[https://ennuigo.thecomicseries.com/comics/1543 The Marlinator]]" has Max, Calixta, and Brittany ride the titular rollercoaster, which Max describes as having caused people to throw up, have {{Potty Failure}}s, pass kidney stones, and even give birth on due to its insane speed and G-forces. When their ride is over, Calixta has passed out [[spoiler:and Brittany is starting to have a reaction from Omegaman's blood transfusion]].

Maybe they don't like heights or just how the ride looks in general, but they have reservations about getting on it. On some occasions, our hero(es) will let this fear be known and likely to be mocked for it, but on others they'll put up a brave front and claim they're not scared, but uh, there are other attractions to see first, so there's no rush to get on said ride anytime soon. Our hero(es) might also be afraid of losing their lunch. At worst, the character(s) will think they might ''die''. However, as hard as they try to delay the inevitable, sooner or later they'll find themselves on the ride and they'll experience what it has to offer. But who knows, maybe they'll actually enjoy it! At least the protagonist(s) can say they managed to conquer the ride, even if they're not in any rush to go on it again.

SubTrope of FaceYourFears and usually TruthInTelevision for first time park goers. Any competent park will make sure their attractions puts safety first for the passengers. Still, the thought of going on a ride that climbs dizzying heights, loop-de-loops, [[SpectacularSpinning spins like crazy]] or shoots out like a cannonball won't really sound appealing if one doesn't slowly work up to it. Also, accidents can still happen, but that's neither here nor there. See also YouMustBeThisTallToRide, in which someone attempts to get on but are stopped due to not being tall enough, which could potentially be an out for those not really looking forward to it.

* Michellee in ''WesternAnimation/GreenEggsAndHam'' is a sort of displaced version; she doesn't want to ride the rides herself, but what ''really'' worries her is the idea of EB riding them. And then when she wants to prove she can be fun, she drags EB onto the wildest ride in the park and immediately regrets it. This isn't helped that Guy is the one manning the controls and had no idea what he's doing.
