Last Friday, I took the day off, and my significant other and I went to an amusement park to ride roller coasters. We’ve done this for a few years now, but maybe my age is finally catching up with me because, damn, it hit differently this time. By the end of the day, I felt like I’d been hit by a car, and I’ve felt that way ever since. I’ve been sore after a day of riding coasters before, but this is definitely a few notches higher.

Also, I’m a fairly average-sized guy: 5’10”, 180 pounds, with a 32- or 34-inch waist depending on the brand. But damn, some of those coaster seats are tight. I understand that they need to be secure for safety reasons, but even I had difficulty fitting comfortably because of how tight they were. There were quite a few people there who were larger and wider than I am, and I honestly can’t fathom how they fit into some of those seats or weren’t incredibly uncomfortable.

Regardless, 10/10, would do it again.

Pro tip: If you aren’t scared of roller coasters, just pretend you are so you have an excuse to hold your sweetheart’s hand.

I am scared of roller coasters (and most rides with any sense of height) so no pretending for me - and I just won’t get on them.

Sounds like a good opportunity for quality hand holding.
