The slight nervousness when you are in line waiting to board.
The feeling of anticipation as you clank, clank, clank your way up to the top of the first peak, and then the rush of adrenaline as you accelerate through a feeling of freefall down the rails, followed by a jarring hard left turn followed by a jarring hard right turn.
All this to stimulate your sense of danger and to create a true thrill ride.
The enjoyment of a rollercoaster can only be achieved when you know and trust that you are safe throughout the entire experience.
If there was ever any doubt that you were safe, you wouldn't even think about riding.
Retirement for many Americans can be like a rollercoaster.
We experience the ups and the downs, the jarring turns, and the panic-inducing plummets.
However, we have no guarantees and no trust that we are going to be taken care of, so it creates fear and not enjoyment.
