Scared of Coasters? Try Hypnosis!

Sounds like a good gimmick to me:

LONDON (Reuters Life!) – A British theme park is breaking new ground in its attempts to get trembling parents to join their kids on the scarier rides -- hypnosis.

 

Chessington World of Adventures discovered from a survey of younger visitors early this year that children were annoyed by parents reluctant to go on the white-knuckle rides.

 

Management had also noticed a growing number of parents "holding the bags" outside rather than joining in.

 

"We pride ourselves on being a family attraction, so it's just as important for adults to enjoy themselves as much as children," said General Manager David Smith.

 

Hypnotherapist Stephen Rigby will hold his first sessions at the park in Surrey, southwest of London, on October 9.
