“Go To A Theme Park, They Said. It’ll Be Fun, They Said” – 50 Of The Funniest Rollercoaster Photos (New Pics)
Rollercoasters are both fun and terrifying. Terrifyingly fun, actually! If you’ve ever been on one, odds are that all the twists, turns, and adrenaline pumping through your veins made it a very memorable experience. And if you’re as awesome and cheesy as we are, then you might even have bought one of those amusement park photos that show you laughing, screaming, and (possibly even) crying while on the ride.
Some of these photos, however, are a cut above the rest and in a league of their own. Whether intentionally or by design! The Bored Panda team has put together this wild ride of a list showing off the very best of the best that rollercoaster photos have to offer. They’re hilarious, creative, and wholesome to a whole other degree.
Strap yourself in, hang on tight, and scroll down to start the ride. Don’t forget to upvote the photos that you enjoyed the most, Pandas! Oh and if any of you thrill-seekers are raring to go again, then you’ll want to hop in and try our previous article about rollercoaster photos right here.

Just by seeing this I immediately heard the sound of a bunch of bagpipes passing by. Including the Doppler effect.
This is the most Scottish picture ever even though some alcohol should be involved too
While some of these photos are obviously staged for comedic effect (hello, rollercoaster Jenga players! We bow before your vast imagination), others are 100 percent natural. The timing of the snaps couldn’t have been more perfect and the pics show off incredibly genuine reactions. Honestly, they made our day (and some of us might already be Googling what the opening times for the nearest amusement parks are).

There's Always An Asian Better Than You
Don't do this. Even if you think it's cute, if you lose your grip, it could smash the person behind you in the face. When you're going 70mph, that's not fun. The over-shoulder harness suggest this ride goes fast and has inversions. Extra stupid and careless.
Newton's first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by a net external force. - So even IF they lost grip of this thing, what exactly would happen? It will keep its momentum, only slowed down by the air resistance. Most probably, it would fall between them, as the back part of every row is really high. They'd need to yeet it in the air on purpose to have it drop behind them. The probability of it dropping from an inversion onto someone else when they're back down is also rather slim. I do get your direction of thinking, but IMHO, the risk of ANYTHING to happen is minimal.
Load More Replies...To me, that's pretty accurate. No racism here.
Load More Replies...We don’t know about you, dear Pandas, but some of us here are mighty afraid of heights. So riding on a rollercoaster means having an inner battle within ourselves about whether we want to have fun or stay earthbound and look at everyone else enjoying themselves. Getting over the fear of heights (it’s known as acrophobia) or any other phobia is a challenge in itself. However, it is possible and that way you can have more freedom to enjoy all the things that life has to offer you, big or small.

My Wife Hates Rollercosters. After I Pitched A Fit About It, She Finally Picked One She Would Ride With Me
Hmm i dunno. This hardly counts as a roller coaster. They're not even in seats with belts and safety stuff
Load More Replies...Why does he "pitch a fit" about something this stupid? If he likes it, he can go on his own. Why would I want to drag somebody I supposedly love to an activity she so obviously dislikes?
Nice of your wife to agree, but I don't expect her to do that again. Ever.
How nice of him to emotionally manipulate his wife into doing something she hates.

Load More Replies...“If parents or people of influence have anxiety about dogs, for example, then it is more than likely a child growing up with them will also develop the same irrational reaction around dogs,” the expert explained that we can ‘inherit’ phobias from the people we’re closest to as we’re growing up, no matter what the particular phobias might be.

The expert noted that any phobia is possible to overcome. It’ll be tough, but given the right support, everyone can do it. “Regardless of how a phobia originates, overcoming them can be difficult but is possible. It's important to recognize if more than one person is suffering and encourage all to participate. Gradual desensitization or self-exposure to the cause is encouraged,” he said.

“This is a photo of my daughter and her father riding the Tennessee Tornado roller coaster at Dollywood. When we saw the photo at the sales kiosk, we laughed so hard we just HAD to buy it!”
That particular coaster is a blast! It's a out and back, with like 3 loops a couple double helix ,at about 70mph and about a 100 ft drop but you can't tell exactly how high you are because the ride is entwined amongst the mountains in the cul de sac where the ride is located at the park. The ride is actually pretty short considering you're traveling almost 70mph and it's a lot of action packed in it. I love it myself, it's fantastic! My daughters and son loved it at her age but kids are just different.

However, the more complex a phobia is, the longer we’ve had it, the more work we’ll have to put in to overcome it. Whether it’s a phobia of heights, of going fast, or absolutely anything at all. “A more complex and long-term phobia may need similar treatment given to someone with an anxiety disorder or mental health illness; counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy or psychotherapy are all good options to explore,” Nuno told Bored Panda.

It could have been an off the shoulder shirt or a loose shirt designed with a slouchy collar. She was also probably wearing a strapless bra so if that slipped down that may have been the bigger malfunction

Our family spent New Year’s Eve 2019 at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. We all got on the roller coaster right before midnight and unbeknownst to us, my 10-year-old son fell asleep as soon as the roller coaster went over the drop! We normally do not get photos from the roller coaster kiosks but after seeing this photo, we felt it was mandatory!
It;s sad this clueless mom thinks it's "funny" when the boy could have fallen out or had a medical issue and shouldn't be on roller coasters. "fell asleep"? Poor kid.

My sister’s family went to a theme park in NC and she decided her youngest was ready for his 1st roller coaster ride. Apparently, she was wrong and he takes after her.

Please do not take unsecured objects on your ride. Your ride staff isn't trying to waste their breath when they say this. You can easily lose your grip going 70mph, and that DSLR or Jenga tower could destroy the person behind you.
exactly what I thought. How stupid people can be just for a silly photo.
Load More Replies...I don't have a photo but i remember my mistake when taking a 5yo friends daughter to disneyland Paris.

After the ride she was like "yeah, let's do it again!" and me with my shaking legs: "NO...let's go see Mickey"
People really need to stop taking very small children on these rides. Not only is it not fun for them, but the movement on their fragile bodies/heads can result in shaken baby syndrome.
One: There are height and weight restrictions on rides. If it’s unsuitable for a child, they shouldn’t be allowed on (unless staff bypass the rules). Two: this is the first time in my life that I have heard that a rollercoaster can cause shaken baby syndrome in children. Do you have any links to when that has actually happened? (And I mean actually happened, not reports on what *could* happen).
Load More Replies...Now I want to share the photo of my husband & I on the Six Flags Great Adventure Superman ride - he did *not* have a super time
So many people don't seem to click on to the fact that just because a kid looks terrified doesn't mean they didn't enjoy the ride. Or in the case where they didn't enjoy it, more often than not kids WANT to go on rides, they act all brave and tough and then realize it's scary after they've had a go. Source: I was a kid that always looked like I was bawling my eyes out on coasters but I absolutely loved them. I just have a scared-looking G-force face.
If your kid is genuinely terrified, please don't force them, and please try to sort it out before you get to the front of the line. If a child is having an existential crisis at the loading station, our general policy was to stop the ride, unstrap the kid, and help them exit. This sometimes means the ride gets shut down for everyone, but we're not going to clear a train for departure when there's a distressed guest on board. You see a lot of selfish parents with young kids at a roller coaster park. The worst is when parents stuff their kids' shoes to bypass the height requirement.
