“I learned to keep my eyes open and my mouth shut.”
― Roller Coaster Kids; Tales of 1960's Coney Island
― Roller Coaster Kids; Tales of 1960's Coney Island
“It's difficult to spend time in any carnival or amusement park and not realize that a repressed fear of death may be the one emotion that is constant in the human heart even if, most of the time, it is confined to the unconscious as we go about our business. Thrill rides offer us a chance to acknowledge our ever-present dread, to release the tension that arises from repression of it, and to subtly delude ourselves with the illusion of invulnerability that surviving the Big Drop can provide.”
