I love roller coasters. While visiting Six Flags, I rode many roller coasters. I loved the adrenaline rush. Contrary to popular belief, amusement parks do not just feature amusement. They feature a costly entrance fee, long lines, fast food, and everything that could give someone an adrenaline rush.

Yet, there are people who do not ride roller coasters and think that no one should. I thought about their perspective, and I came up with several reasons why we may not want to ride them ever again….

1. We could all die.

The laws of physics that are used when constructing roller coasters may not be true, and we could all die. In fact, roller coasters are made especially as contraptions of death to diminish the size of the population. This is a conspiracy.

2. Safety belts may not actually keep us safe.

Do not be fooled by their name. That is how they are able to exist within society as undetected restrictions of torture. No one ever names anything to acknowledge a purpose or origin. That would actually make sense.

3. Roller coasters expose us to the burning sun.

The sun can also burn people to crisps, so roller coasters expose us to the burning sun to cook us. Roller coasters are the human kebabs with their amusement parks being the human grills.

4. Patience is not a virtue, why wait.

Exercising virtues would only make them more strongly apparent in our characters. Why would anyone want to do that?

5. Why should we know what we are willing to stand (in line) for?

If you do not stand for something, you will fall for anything. Why should we stand for a roller coaster when we can easily fall from not facing our fears?

6. What is stamina? We do not need it.

Stamina is a lot like cardio and weight-lifting; no one should ever do it because it would require work and possibly some perspiration.

7. We could be pansies and stay in our flowerbeds instead.

Flowerbeds are safe and secure, and pansies are beautiful flowers. We can be flowers. We can be pansies. We do not need to face our fears because we only need comfort. Fear is good. I know that Yoda said fear is the path to the dark side because it leads to anger, which leads to hate, which leads to suffering. However, he is fictional and therefore only said what someone else wanted him to say. Ethos may not be validation for listening to what someone could say as wisdom, could it?
