Roller Coaster Trivia

  • I like to ride roller coasters.


    When roller coasters fall, you can feel a unique floating sense.

    This feeling is called air-time, which is due to the fact that minus gravity floats your internal organs.

    I really like this moment.

    If you rode a roller coaster, about 50 kcal might be consumed.

    Furthermore, it is said that riding roller coasters have a beauty effect, because they give you the willies and make you secrete female hormone.

    Also, in order to scare you, most roller coasters are clockwise.

    Many of us we feel discomfort for clockwise, while feel safety for counter clockwise.

    By the way, roller coasters are called “ジェットコースター” in Japan.

    The name seems derived from Japanese manga.
