thrill ride

Screaming loop experience

A thrill ride is an amusement park attraction designed to produce excitement through speed, height, spinning, or simulated danger—roller coasters, free-fall towers, and the like.

The term extends to any intensely exciting experience: The startup was a thrill ride from day one.

That movie was a real thrill ride.
