Why people enjoy going to amusement parks even though the rides are scary?

There are many reasons, but the main reason is for the adrenaline. For adults it is a chance to act like a kid again. Example: Roller Coasters do not bother me and I find them very fun and not scary. Now my wife on the other hand finds them. So I told her, let's take a smaller roller coaster and go through it a few times and she would see. It was a smaller coaster, so I actually video taped my wife on the coaster. 1st ride, she is screaming all the way down. By the last time we did it, I have her on video on the ride saying "this is fun" or "Whoohooo" when going down the hill. I am not saying she did not scream on certain parts, but after the 4th time, I would say she had a 90% improvement and was much less scared.

I think it's thrilling. And most of the individuals want to do something different than the same old mundane life,and hence do something adventurous to seek that thrill.

I don't know, I only go on rides that are close to the ground. Lol
