Are roller coasters an Se thing? I personally don't care for them, mainly because of the height and how they jolt you around too much rather than the speed itself. By contrast the luge might be fun. Well maybe.

One of the Se polr traits that I specifically related to was the fear of being maimed or hurting others. Not knowing your own strength or the strength of other things. I don't like heavy equipment and dangerous power tools. Stuff like that. So I think it could have to do with heavy metal and horsepower which rollercoasters are. It is being comfortable around forceful things maybe.
The luge looks much more terrifying than a roller coaster but doesn't have that heavy loud machinery effect.
"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
There are lots of thing I can do for thrills, honestly. Going to an escape room, a haunted carnival house for the laughs, axe-throwing is a sport in Poland and they have clubs for that...
...besides that? Not meeting my essays' deadlines, not studying even though I fully know there's an exam next day are both pretty thrilling as well.
What I wouldn't do for thrills is get on a Roller Coaster. Partly because of the Final Destination movie, but it's mostly because I just don't like them and might get nauseous.

I don’t like going to theme parks because the thrill doesn’t seem worth risking my life over. And then if other people go on rides, I worry about them. I’ve been on a few roller coasters, and been to a theme park three times. It was always others idea. I’ve waited in lines for an hour before and then chickened out at the last second on several occasions.
I went with my LSI step-grandfather and cousins once. I think my cousins are ILE (he wouldn’t ride anything ever), and my SEI cousin (she was a bit like me about it). My SEI cousin and I split off on our own and went on a few, but we chickened out on a couple, and refused to go on others. My LSI grandfather went on every single one and he was having more fun than us. I had no idea he was like that until we got there. lol

Trying out luge seems OK. It has brakes. Somehow throwing myself to danger works better than being someone who has no control over it.
No roller coasters for me.

I have great memories of riding roller coasters as a kid but I had to work my way up from smaller rides and become acclimated enough that I stopped feeling the impulse to put my head between my knees lol. I don't want to ride them anymore for the same reason and because as an adult im more aware of the fact that machines break, which is hard to not think about as im flying through the air. I do miss the feeling of exhilaration though.
I haven't been on a rollercoaster for around 10 years now and while I thought they were sort of fun I didn't really seek them out or have them as a request for my parents. I don't care about them anymore and there are a lot of places I'd rather go to than an amusement park.

Thrill seeking is an Se trait, typically Se leading. But rollercoasters are fairly tame when it comes to that - it's been a while but I've been known to enjoy a rollercoaster before.
I have zero desire to take part in roller coaster ride and I have had changes.
Why people want to experience discomfort from roller coasters?

I like them as long as they are classic wooden roller costers. They have the best atmosphere and experience.
The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.

I have actual nightmares about rollercoasters. Hard pass. Not an amusement park kinda gal.

yeah, i'm fine with rollercoasters since i can trust that the engeneering is sound and not even think about it once it's in motion. fast/unsafe driving or rough offroading i can't enjoy at all though because i'm paranoid af the entire time that the person in control is going to showboat and fuck up.
Welllll I'm scared of heights so naturally I will be afraid of rollercoasters.. but I do enjoy them alot. Terror easily becomes fun. Like with alot of things, an immediate negative response doesn't mean anything if you enjoy it in the end. The initial fear makes things more fun and rewarding.
