- How did they get a building permit?

Meh…build me something exciting, like a replica of Six Flags’ Superman rollercoaster, or Islands of Adventure’s Hulk rollercoaster.

I’ve been on home-made rollercoasters, and they’re surprisingly scary, given the small scale. The thrills missing due to a lack of speed and dips are made up for with the fear that the whole thing will come apart at any second.
Yeah, that really struck me - the rider ducking and moving his head to one side while approaching various over-hangs. I don’t know if that was necessary or just a reflex, but the possibility of having your head caved in certainly adds some adrenaline to the whole experience.
