Ok, so for those who haven’t been on roller coasters, I’d like to give you a brief description. Roller coasters are man’s way of inducing adrenaline, fear of immediate death, disorientation, and excess weight (thank you high Gs!). These sensations are brought on via ridiculously high velocities, sharp banks, loops, and/or corkscrews.
For those who have had the privilege to ride many coasters, and are familiar with the strategies of parks to terrify and thrill audiences, some coasters may seem somewhat unexciting. While you’re strapped to a harness, wind whistling through your hair (or growing lack of hair, in our case), the ride may begin to feel redundant. “Sigh… cue the loop,” “Oh goodie, another corkscrew,” “Yay… a bowtie.” If you’re one of those people, these reviews are for you.
Jake (my co-pilot on our trip to sample the roller coaster buffet) and I have taken it upon ourselves to describe some coasters that are well worth riding. So sit back, pull down your shoulder harness, buckle your belt, keep your head against the rest, and get ready for the ride.
