I think people like roller coasters (I know this is why I love them) 
because of the wind rushing through your hair, the palpable feeling of 
speed, the sudden acceleration (people LOVE acceleration) in all 
directions, the fluttering in your stomach, the appearance that you are 
surely going to die tempered by the intellectual knowledge that you most 
likely won't, and last but not least, because people LOVE a controlled 
fall. That's what walking is.

fast walking,
