How do you feel about rollercoasters? You either love them or hate them. I love them, although, this whole getting older thing, is messing up my running total. (I used to be able to go on rollercoasters literally like 20 times in a row, I should have been in one of those contests to ride a rollercoaster non-stop to win a car). but now, I ride three times, and have to sit out for a good couple of hours. MEH.

Anyways, the Museum of Science is running an awesome movie called "The science of fun: thrill ride" all about the history and the future of roller coasters.

We suggest you check it out. If you get motion sickness, maybe sit this one out.

A little description "Scream as you shoot a thousand feet into the air on Las Vegas' Big Shot, or rush deep underground aboard the coal mine cart that gave birth to American roller coasters. Gain insight into the talents of modern-day thrill masters as they work their magic with today's most sophisticated computers, cameras, and lighting technology."
