Playland!!!

Heart Rate: 

My heart rate increased drastically when I was in line for a ride. Well it really depend ed on what ride it was.. like for atmosphere I was a nervous wreck! I was fine at first but when my friends started to get nervous, it made me nervous causing my heart rate to increase. I do not have exact numbers or anything but I do know that my heart rate increased when I was in lineups and on rides!

I think heart rate is affected because our brain signals our heart that we feel nervous/anxious which makes the heart beat faster.

Breathing Rate:

My breathing rate was definitely affected by the rides!! The rides which affected my breathing rate were: the Atmosphere and the Enterprise. These two rides had me breathless!! I had to start breathing in and out through my mouth and at times it felt like I could not breathe at all... the constant laughing did not help my breathing either.

Other Physiological Effects: 
I actually puked at playland! (yuck) but it was not due to the rides. I was starving!!! So when we finally sat down to eat, I think I ate way too quick which gave me the worst tummy ache ever! I could not even walk, it was horrible. But after puking, I felt much better and went on the crazy beach party right after!

Other than that, on rides such as the pirate ship or hellsgate, I would get that dropping feeling in my stomach. Plus my heart rate would increase and sometimes my breathing rate would as well!
