Roller coasters inspire all kinds of emotional reactions.
That’s why on-ride cameras exist — to memorialize all the terrified, funny, and distorted expressions on passengers’ faces as they reach the fastest, most intense parts of the ride. These entertaining (and often embarrassing) photos have become so popular that some go out of their way to make them even more memorable, including sneaking in props and staging elaborate scenes.
