Ten Reasons Roller Coasters are Good for You

Scream Roller Coaster1. Other fears pale in comparison: For example, if you are having trouble with your boss, he’s nothing compared to facing the loop-de-loop!
2. You escape life (if temporarily) and bring back stories.
3. You feel accomplished and can blog better.
4. You relax beside something much bigger than yourself: Remember Leeann Womack’s song, I Hope You Dance: “I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean(Riddler’s revenge?).”

5. You see views that take your breath away (Then you drop 20 stories on Superman).

6. Your heart gets pumpin.’

7. You become less important and more creative.

8. Prove you’re no baby you can put away the crib bedding. Father and son thing.

9. You become a spaceman breaking speed records.

10. High altitudes, increased endorphines (alertness, well-being, happiness …)

We went to my favorite amusement park the other day & I rode a roller coaster w/my 5 year old brother (haha, bet you didn’t know that about me!) It was his first time and I just loved seeing how much he was excited by it and loved it!

Watching the kids’ faces of excitement is one of the benefits as well!

I always thought that I’m too old for this thing already. Guess this post had changed my mind. :)

I takeit you had a good time at Six Flags! I was waiting to see the roller coaster post :) So…all those reasons are pretty much why I don’t like the coasters, but I’m curious about the crib bedding. Is that some testosterone related thing? LOL

I tried the rollercoaster at the Edmonton mall once…I just about blacked out. It was fun at the end, but that feeling of just about fainting wasn’t very nice.

You make some good points, but until they make a roller coaster that goes in one straight, horizontal line…you can’t convince me to go for another ride. :D
