Click … click … click. The roller coaster clatters to the top just before it plunges, making you scream out loud and feel a tight knot in your stomach. That’s what I remember from riding the Texas Cyclone roller coaster in Houston’s Astroworld about 40 years ago. I haven’t ridden any roller coasters since, but the feeling is not much different from riding up and down the oil and gas economic roller coaster.
