UK mum captures 5-year-old's FIRST EVER roller coaster ride and his reaction is priceless

This adorable footage shows a five-year-old boy's uncontrollable excitement as he experiences his first ever ride on a giant rollercoaster.

Aiden Cameron, five, was on his first family holiday to Blackpool with his mum and dad when they decided to take him on the Blue Flyer rollercoaster.

Excitable little Aiden could not wait to get on the rollercoaster and, thankfully, mum Paula Scott caught the moment on camera.

The video shows Aiden adorably waving goodbye to dad as the rollercoaster makes its way out of the station and begins to climb.

His excitement builds as they get to the top and then as the first drop comes Aiden goes through a rollercoaster of emotions himself, first screaming and telling his mum he  doesn't like it -- to smiling and laughing and asking to go again.

Aiden then rode the Blue Flyer again with his dad Ryan Cameron.

Paula Scott, 32, from Bonnyrigg outside Edinburgh, Scotland, said: "He was nervous, but excited at the same time as he had never been to Blackpool.

"He was happy I was going on with him as this was his first ever rollercoaster he couldn't wait to get on.

"The video shows a wee boy being very brave making memories and having fun with his family. In the world we live in at the moment, that's what it's all about.

"I was nervous because I really didn't know how he would be. To tell the truth, I was probably more scared than him, but he is much braver as he went on again and all the other rides that he was able to go on.

"Afterwards we both had a giggle and I asked if he was OK and he said 'let's go again', so he did with his dad, as I am 5ft 10 and was squashed."
