I love tall fast coasters, and until I was about 55 I rode a lot of them. I don’t do that any more, my 70+ body won’t take it well. But they are great fun.

For liability insurance reasons they might want to consider setting up an EKG station and clearance to ride it. lol

Sigh. I wish I could ride amusement park rides, as I always had an iron stomach and enjoyed those kinds of things, even though they were maintained and operated by “Carney Folk”.

Now, I have the inner ear stuff that goes with age. I was able to ride on one of those rides that has the chair attached by chains, and it swings you out around 45-60 degrees, and my head was swimming. Darn it. But I didn’t hurl, and enjoyed it.

You and me both, brother. After two cataract surgeries, I’m staying away from stuff like that.

Brains shrink - Old folks like us can do damage to our brains having them bounce around inside our skullz.
