In a study of roller coasters for Psychology Today, the author explained how roller coaster riders are engaging in an activity that allows them to experience their deepest fears — especially fear of death — in a very safe manner. But two Massachusetts-based psychologists, Brian Newmark and Michael Otto, who helped Universal Studios in Florida treat "coaster phobics," say as long as the coaster enthusiasts have balance in their lives outside the park and function normally in their work and private lives, this unusual addiction is innocuous.
Otto likens what the Behemoth riders at Canada's Wonderland are doing to the competitive streak shown by some people who try to get into the Guinness Book of World Records, which the psychologist calls setting "achievement goals. He also raises the concern about physical side effects to prolonged coaster riding, such as how the G-force acts on the body, although he and staff at Wonderland aren't aware of any specific problems as a result.
While Wonderland hasn't instituted any permanent special privileges for the Behemoth riders, the park did organize several events catering to the group of coaster aficionados. There was an hour of Extended Ride Time known as ERT in the coaster world in July, when season's pass holders were allowed in an hour early solely to ride Behemoth.
