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???

    Humans aren’t alone in enjoying shit like that either, we’re just the only ones capable of building roller coasters. Lots of other mammals (and maybe birds?) have been seen doing things like repeatedly sliding down slippery rocks or things built by humans.

      I took my sister in law's little doggie for a bike ride. Put her in my backpack so only her head was sticking out. I hauled ass down around the block. Whenever they came over the first thing the dog did was hop in my backpack. Super cute
