I finally got myself out to Canada's Wonderland today. No more music in the streets to follow, plus I have a season pass. It's funny how the rides look so harmless almost pathetically so until you're up there. Both Top Gun and Tomb Raider scared the pants off me. But after all was said and done I wanted to ride them again.
On each ride I'd think, 'what was I thinking? Why am I on this ride when I'm holding on so tightly and am scared for my life?'
Too funny.
What makes people thrill seekers? What makes people want to scare the poop out of themselves? There are a few rides that I wouldn't consider, like drop zone and jet scream and possibly cyclone (I think it's called.) I do have my limit to the amount of fright I can withstand but some people will do them all. Some people will try all kinds of crazy things.
Why would a character test fate? What would he have to have inside him, what thoughts, what belief system would push him? It's like a criminal that thrives on the next big score. It has to be more than the adrenaline rush. But what?
