Steve Austin Explains Why He Doesn’t Like Rollercoasters

In a recent interview on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Steve Austin talked about a wide range of topics, including why he is not a fan of rollercoasters. 

He also told a story about William Regal and his thoughts about rollercoasters: 

“Man, I’m not a big thrill seeker. I’m not looking to go out there and just do a bunch of crazy stuff,” he said.

“When I used to travel down the road with Lord Steven Regal (aka William Regal), one of my really good friends, in Blackpool where he’s from, they had little gimmick circuses and we would talk. The people from England were really tough. If the rollercoaster went off the rails, and squashed a bunch of people, they just passed out a bunch of free tickets. ‘Oh, it’s okay. Here’s some free tickets for the next one.’”

“So, that’s always in the back of my mind. As safe as these things can be, I’ve always wondered about the one that I get on. It’s going to careen off the rails. And it’s like, ‘man, what happened to Stone Cold?’ ‘Boy, you remember that rollercoaster that went off the rails? He was on that roller coaster.’ So, it’s stuff like that that I look at the worst-case scenario. When they leave you hanging at the top because they’re trying to mess with you. It works — the clack, clack, clack, clack, clack on the way up and then you just go down. Not fun, not fun.”
