Occasional Digest - a story for you

Doug and Derek Perry made the transition to "big rides" at around age 10.

Derek and Doug Perry got bit by the roller coaster bug early.

“Our mom really loves roller coasters,” Derek recalled. “On our summer vacations, we would hop in the van, and we would go driving around to different theme parks.”

“(Our dad) didn’t love them as much as the three of us did, but he was always a good sport about it,” Doug added. “He would hang out in the theme parks, and he had fun still.”

As adults, the twins have taken that love to the next level, riding more than 1,100 different roller coasters around the world, often together. Last year, they road every new coaster that opened across the U.S. and hope to do the same this year.
