So am I supposed to believe that one day some absolutely wild man came up with the idea to put a bunch of people in a cart and send them zooming around loops and dips at dangerous speeds on a rickety track? And people line up for this?

Surely these things cost a ton of money to build and maintain. Who the hell thought this was a good idea???

    My parents took me to Disneyland when I was a toddler and we went on Space Mountain. It scared the shit out of me and I’ve had a phobia of most rollercoasters ever since. I can handle going fast and sideways, but not upside down or dropping. I’m not afraid of heights, I just can’t be strapped into something that falls vertically very quickly.

      I get what you’re getting at, but it’s funny because Space Mountain is an extremely tame roller coaster (no major drops or upside-down) by comparison to almost any other ride

      The anticipation part of those rides that you just sit in and they drop you after taking you up high fucking kills me, I can’t do them
