With all the twists and turns we’ve experienced this year, is there not a more perfect metaphor for 2020 than a roller coaster? Ironically, if you’re looking for a way to take your mind off this year, a roller coaster might be your best bet, and there’s no better place for such thrills than the Big Apple Coaster.

But first, you’ll have to prepare your mind, and your stomach, for what’s about to go down. The coaster starts with two huge drops, which lead into twists and loops alongside the faux Manhattan skyline.

One such loop is the heartline twist and dive maneuver, a move that quickly flips the cart upside down and settles into a tummy-tingling drop, so be sure to ride on an empty stomach.

If the coaster isn’t enough entertainment for you, head over to the arcade to play some old-fashioned games like Skee-ball, air hockey, and more.
