| An Interesting Story

I was watching the discovery channel last night and saw the most interesting show. They were interviewing people who make their living designing attractions for amusement parks like Magic Mountain, Disneyland, and Universal Studios. Wouldn't that be a cool way to make a living?
They were talking about the elements that make up the ideal attraction. They said there are 3 parts to the ideal attraction. First, when you experience the ideal attraction, you feel a state of high arousal. The ideal attraction makes your heart beat faster, and your breathing keeps coming faster and faster and you just feel that amazing rush all over.
When you imagine how much fun it is to ride a roller coaster or any other kind of amusement park ride... Its like as that ride is climbing up and up, you can feel your heart pounding with excitement, you feel you're breathing coming more and more faster, sometimes you're even gasping and panting. You feel the blood rushing through every part of your body and as that excitement and tension is building and building, you reach the top of the ride and then as it crests, you just release it in a flood of excitement, and sometimes you're screaming you're so turned on.
And then they said that another part to an ideal attraction is, it's fascinating. You just feel so enthralled that you want to take this ride multiple times; as soon as you get off you want to get back on again.
And they said, finally, the most important element is a sense of overall safety. That even though the attraction may look a little dangerous, you're certain you're safe. You feel safe because you realize nothing bad can really happen, so that allows you to feel totally free to let go and enjoy that great arousal again and again and again. Can you feel that is pretty close to the way it is?
And you know, afterwards I thought to myself, isn't that the totally accurate description of your ideal attraction to another person. You know that kind of wonderful click right there, right in the center of who you are that just makes you feel totally drawn to this person and on one hand you feel totally safe and totally comfortable like you were meant to know them and as if you've known them forever.
