### [Youth Ministry: Rollercoasters and Practicing Theology](https://blog.nes.edu/bid/201207/Youth-Ministry-Rollercoasters-and-Practicing-Theology)

I have to admit it though, I do not like amusement parks. Now, I do like aspects of the park, but the reason most people are there is what I do not like. Nothing about roller coasters excites me. I do not like rides that offer a slow incline only to drop participants almost straight down with the encouragement to lift hands in the air while screaming. I do not enjoy corkscrew turns, riding upside down, or rides that take a person to the highest heights just to drop them from those heights in a matter of seconds. How was this ever dubbed as *amusement*?
