The thrill ride ‘regret pill’

A theme park in China’s southwest province of Chongqing is offering “regret medicine” to guests who lose their nerve while starting out on a thrill ride. Frightened riders are able to ask operators at the Wansheng Ordovician Theme Park to stop a giant swing attraction as it is moving into position. But riders who “chicken out” are asked to purchase “regret medicine”. In fact, the pills are vitamin tablets, and money the riders pay for their prescriptions goes to charity.
