"Riding the CTA is better than any rollercoaster in the world".

If you have ever thought that riding a rollercoaster is one of the most exciting experiences you have ever had or you will ever have, that is because you haven't tried CTA "El", also known as Elevated Train. I assure you that the experience riding the "El" will be more thrilling, longer-lasting, and yet cheaper than any rollercoaster in the world.

No doubt about the thrill. While in a rollercoaster you just stay sitting waiting for the train to go up and down, in the "El" it's you who decides what will be the next exiting challenge and you can choose among a huge variety of thrill levels, according with your personality.

For instance, if you are a risk lover, you can try to wait close to the turnstile until you hear the train coming; then, jump across the bars (without paying, of course), run up through the down escalator, get into one of the wagons and sit on the belly of the fatter and stronger person you can find. You will be soon flying through the air and landing onto another passenger who, if they happen to be as strong as the first one, will give you a lot of extra fun

As I've said before, there are many other options but for sure it's a better idea that  it's you, the traveler, who design your own adventure.

As for the lasting, you are provided with 370 km of rails divided in eight different lines. Do you know how long is the longest rollercoaster in the world? Only 2,479 km, and you'd have to travel to Japan to enjoy it. So it's impossible for you to get bored as you don't have to pass twice through the same place or do any loop.

And finally, do you know how much you have to pay to have all that fun? 2,25 dollars. Obviously, no single rollercoaster in the world can compete with this fares.
