Is there a way to get over the fear of theme parks?

I would be really grateful for an answer, any time spent for me is greatly appreciated.

For context: im currently at movie world australia, and i have never been more scared in my life than I was going on the most basic of rides. Basically everything except spinning teacups terrify me beyond comprehension. I am not remotely enjoying the ride. After the ride I dont feel any inclination to do it again, more against it than I was previously actually.

I only ask because I've had my ticket kindly paid for by my girlfriends family and I feel I am wasting their money by being unable to go on/enjoy any rides.

I know the answer is usually do it until its not scary, but its so so scary. My brain won't let my body step onto the ride.

The difference is water rides I've found aren't as scary, while statistically more unsafe. Still uncomfortable tho.

I am sure many will simply say nothing to be scared about. But i was just wondering if theres any sage advice, helpful tips or is it as simple as: some people don't enjoy mechanical rides?
