I saw it as a new experience that is available, safe and ready for a try. I do not enjoy the 'kick' of a dangerous sensation. But when I am at a theme park anyway and paid a flat fee it is reasonable to collect the experiences that present them self as long as I can stand them. Just to see what it is like. The bonding with friends was also very nice. I will not seek out theme park specifically in the future, but might go at another time with friends.

There was a freefall tower with about 2,6 seconds of free falling, it goes way faster than I imagined.
