It wouldn’t be that much better, since the climb up is also quite nice and scenic. Rollercoasters are fun, which is why they’re fundamentally not a strong metaphor for something that has good and bad parts.
We must be extracting just the directional kind of aspect from it, using it as a substitute for ups and downs? So it works when mostly unexamined I guess?
Kind of like “I could care less“ but that one is simply a mistake without any creativity or sensible-ish substitution (so it rubs me much worse than the roller coaster thing). Almost hope I forget about this conversation so I don’t start to mind it 😉 hehe
Edit: “clumsy” yes definitely, looking at your parent comment again
