The beginnings of adrenaline rides date back to the 17th century, in Russia, and the wagons were first placed on rails in France in the 19th century. 131 years ago, we got the famous "Gravitational Pleasure" railway in New York, where the "first hand-held" cars "crushed" at a speed of 10 km/h. Yes, you read that right, 10 km/h. Which is nothing compared to the speeds they reach today. And where in the world can we find the craziest trains? In America, of course!
Evolution death trains was therefore relatively slow, unlike their current speeds. But that's probably why they became not only mandatory partamusement parks, but one of the most ultimate adrenaline pleasures at all. And yes, where else but in America, meccas of entertainment, we find the best of the best. America always wants to have everything "should". They want to put this adjective in front of almost everything. Highest, fastest, most expensive, most visited, etc. The name of the promised land demands certain 'distinctions'.
This mentality has long lived in the entertainment industry, which also includes amusement parks that are after the age of 70 slowly but steadily adding adrenaline rides to their regimen. From 'narrow' family milieu have thus expanded to not only entertaining but also to the end exciting space, space also for everyone adrenaline junkies. The begging was so overpowering screaming and shouting– from horror and pleasure at the same time. Look where you are mixtures can partake in the maximum quantity.
