Just a second… Did that bother you? I’m sure it’d bother me to wait to read too. It seems as though no one wants to wait for anything these days.

Some people may find the bank turns, barrel rolls and corkscrews of a roller coaster frightening or even nauseating. I, on the other hand, love the thrill of a fast coaster with as many dizzying loops and stomach churning drops as the architect can squeeze in. It’s not just the roller coasters I love,...
