Jason Peter was 4 when he rode his first rollercoaster\u2014Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Walt Disney World in Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember screaming, and I remember we had to go on it several times,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n

Several times because he wanted to ride it again and again.<\/p>\n

The again-and-again love has never dimmed and, in fact, has become one of the bright lights in Peter\u2019s life. At this point, 40 years after that first thrill, he has ridden 751 different rollercoasters, a number that includes rides in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Mexico and Guatemala.<\/p>\n

The Mary B. Jackson assistant professor in the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga School of Nursing, Peter said his two sisters, nieces and nephews sometimes will meet him at theme parks for a rollercoaster ride or two, \u201cbut they’re not my level.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m the only one that’s a proclaimed rollercoaster enthusiast where I actually travel around,\u201d said Peter, who\u2019s also a family nurse practitioner and studying for a doctorate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t go primarily for the rollercoasters, but that’s definitely something I plan the trips around. Mexico and Guatemala were strictly a rollercoaster trip, then other activities were planned around it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He hasn\u2019t been on a coaster \u201cin a while,\u201d he said, but admits that a month is \u201ca while\u201d to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ll usually go to Six Flags over Georgia or Dollywood every couple of weeks,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n

Whether a rollercoaster is top-notch depends on a series of factors, he said. Speed is one. Uniqueness of the ride another. What does it have that makes it stand out? Is it multiple inversions\u2014upsidedown rollovers? Is it height? Do you plunge into tunnels then zoom back out?<\/p>\n

Another consideration is \u201cairtime,\u201d a coaster enthusiast\u2019s term for how long your body is lifted from the seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess it\u2019s all just the surprise of how the elements feel,\u201d Peter said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe surprise of how they feel will really kind of get me laughing or giggling. The happiness, the freedom. Your hands up or whatever. To kind of have a release.\u201d<\/p>\n

His favorite rollercoasters are in Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Kings Dominion, both in Virginia; Busch Gardens Tampa in Florida; Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri, and Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Although his 700-plus coaster rides might seem to make it impossible to choose his favorite, Peter comes up with one instantly: The Intimidator 305 at King\u2019s Dominion just north of Richmond, Virginia.<\/p>\n

It starts with a climb up 305-foot hill then plunges into a series of this-way-then-thatway curves that whip riders at 90-degree angles to the ground. At 90 mph, Intimidator is all over in a little more than one minute.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so fierce, it has rules about who can ride. It prohibits those with: Recent surgery, heart trouble\/high blood pressure, neck trouble, back trouble, pregnant and any physical conditions that may be aggravated by the ride.<\/p>\n

After it was first built, Peter said, the ride had to modified because it changed direction so quickly, some riders were \u201cgraying out,\u201d as in losing consciousness for a few seconds.<\/p>\n

Like athletes, rollercoaster enthusiasts know that you need to drink a lot of fluids before riding, especially if it\u2019s an especially rough ride, Peter said.<\/p>\n

As for his bucket-list parks, his No. 1 is England\u2019s Alton Park, which is surrounded by green landscapes and stone-built castles.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s just such a beautiful area,\u201d he said, \u201cand they cannot build anything higher than the tree line.\u201d<\/p>\n

To meet those building codes, the rollercoasters have tunnels and gullies cut into the ground, he said. Alton Park also has what some considered one of the best coasters in the world\u2014The Smiler \u2014which has 14 inversions and hits speeds up to 53 mph.<\/p>\n
