I learned that the industry is always trying to outdo itself, making ever more "thrilling" rides.
And that there's a certain subset of hardcore roller coaster fans who are always seeking the wildest rides possible. On their social media pages, they're always reviewing roller coasters around the world, and are urging the industry to build ever more wild rides.
They're not into old-fashioned roller coasters like grandpa used to ride when he was a kid.
Sounds almost like a drug addiction, not that that’s what it really is, but there are similarities. Always needing more—a greater thrill, because the old stuff gets routine. Sooner or later you end up in a hospital or the morgue.
