A fun point in the article: Burton got into the industry via Rollercoaster Tycoon experience:

> Curiosity became an obsession in his teens, when he started to play RollerCoaster Tycoon, a computer game that allowed him to devise his own rides. [...] In the end he won the job, he said, on the strength of those speculative rollercoasters he had made in a video game.

when I clicked the article I was hoping for an article about Chris Sawyer
I always wonder, do people lose their eyeglasses on these things ?
Generally, theme parks will not allow people to wear glasses on rollercoasters for this reason, though you can buy elastic straps that hold the ends together that are usually allowed
I've never seen straps on sale at roller coasters. Missed opportunity?
