Spring Break is the Perfect Time for Thrill Rides Get our free mobile app With Spring Break upon us, I think it would be fun to write about one of my favorite topics: thrill rides! However, I have not always been a thrill-seeker, I didn't ride my first rollercoaster until I was like 20 years old. My girlfriend at the time(now my wife), forced me to get on the 'Road Runner Express.' My response after my first ride, 'that was pretty intense.' She just laughed. She said 'that's a baby rollercoaster. Don't even ask about how I reacted on my first ride on the up-hill water coaster 'Blastenhoff' at Schlitterbahn. We don't have time for that.
