#14: Roller Coasters Aren’t for Everyone
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a very macho man- there’s no argument there. As a former pro wrestler and an actor, he starred in many high-action, dangerous movies. So, there’s not much this man can’t face! Well, he can face everything but one little thing: roller coasters. The Rock is terrified of these popular amusement park attractions.
His fear also has a name, veloxrotaphobia. It can also commonly be called coasterphobia. (That’s much easier to pronounce.) It seems that Dwayne’s fear isn’t related to the coaster’s speed or height but instead to the feeling of confinement. He says he panics because he feels trapped and avoids the experience at all costs.
