Did you know the roller coaster sound of a lift hill that plays while the iconic game RollerCoaster Tycoon loads up is from Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America? I worked at Great America and operated that ride for a few years. This year, in my current job as photographer, I also got to utilize a roller coaster while taking tourism photography in Ocean City, Maryland. While there, I met the owner of a roller coaster and thought to myself: this very well could be me in a few more decades.
