Roller coasters give you the 'rush' because they make your body feel like it's in a big, exciting adventure. When you go up high and then drop fast, your brain thinks something scary is happening, so it sends out adrenaline, which makes your heart beat faster and your body feel super alive! It’s like getting a big hug from your brain and your body all at once!
Examples
- Feeling like you're flying when the roller coaster goes up and then drops suddenly
- Getting excited because your stomach feels like it's jumping out of your body
- Laughing with friends as you scream during a big loop
