According to Psychology Today, “music has the ability to evoke powerful emotional responses such as chills and thrills in listeners. Positive emotions dominate musical experiences. Pleasurable music may lead to the release of neurotransmitters associated with reward, such as dopamine,” exactly the response we heard about from Dr. David Lewis in episode 28 of the ACE: Ride With Us podcast.
Incorporating roller coasters into music offers listeners an opportunity to add to that experience with memories of these thrill rides. Over the next few months, we will be building our own album exploring the fascination and passion of music and roller coasters.
