I have four children and they are split 50-50 as far as their enjoyment of rollercoasters.
The thrill of the climb, the shock of the drop, the blood rushing through their veins – two of them enjoy every moment of the experience, but two not so much. They were all raised in a similar environment, have common parents, same gene pool, etc. but two of them have a stomach for risk and two do not.
It should also be noted that my oldest child has developmental disabilities and she really has no business being on a rollercoaster in the first place. (We learned that the hard way, but that’s a story for another day.)
