Like that's where all the great creativity comes

You look at, like, schematics before the roller coaster's out?

How are you tracking the construction of these things beforehand?

Yeah.

I think there are lots of people, Mikado, who, you know, for physical reasons, whatever, can't get on roller coasters.

There are people who are also afraid to get on roller coasters and who look at someone like you, maybe me, maybe Brooks, is this person, and says, why would you do this?

Why would you wait online for 45 minutes to feel scared or to feel these feelings?

What is the appeal of roller coasters for you?

Did you see things?

Is that did you see things as a traveling carnival?

For sure.

Yeah.

Um, Makata, what is the feeling that you're looking for?

Part of the reason that I go on roller coasters, it is that controlled chaos or that controlled fear very often on a roller coaster or other rides that go very high.

Uh, I am, it is not a lie when I say, I think I am going to die, but it is that, that chasing of, um, an excitement that you just cannot get when you are living your normal life.

That is what I am looking for.

Yeah.

It's interesting.

When I think back on the rides that I really loved when I was a kid, I still think I have the most nostalgia for those story-based rides.

They didn't have any big thrills, the type of big thrills that you're talking about, Mikado.
