THRILL TOWN — When I was a kid, I wanted to be a daredevil. Evel Knievel was the coolest man on the planet and I wanted to be just like him. I wanted the cape, the helmet and to take on all the jumps.
Then I tried to take my Huffy off a ramp made of an old realtor sign and some firewood, we found in the backyard. My daredevil dreams died that day along with that Huffy.
Even though I never became the thrill seeker I hoped to be one day, I still enjoy some intense activities and here is a video highlighting 44 different ones adrenaline junkies may want to add to their bucket lists. I'd love to try a few of them, but there are others that made my stomach drop just looking at it, so I don't' think I have 44 more things I want to do someday.
One of the 44 is actually right here in Utah at the Olympic Park in Park City. There are also a few roller coasters that may be tough to get to for some considering they're in Japan, but the good news is there is nearly an identical rollercoaster to that one right at Lagoon.
Check out the video, feel the butterflies in your stomach and start making some travel plans.
