These big hills are getting ever more thrilling and frightening -- and that's really the point, isn't it?hundreds and thousands of miles to get their coaster fix, so you need to select a ride that delivers."For me, it's the height and steepness of the drops," says roller coaster fan Patrick Lindich, who has had his own, since 2016.
"The surrounding environment around the drop has a lot to do with it as well. Anything from tall trees to a lake or river around the drop. It all adds to the experience and makes the drop even more thrilling and scary."
