Well, I remember my first flight in a helicopter as a young person (so long ago, it was actually a Hughes 300). I found the flight to be very thrilling! It was entirely routine, just from the amusement park around the town and back. Sure, a tourist seeking a helicopter tour may be seeking a bit of a thrill, the job of the pilot is to make a flight which is entirely safe and routine, have just enough "thrill" that the passengers got what they flew for! And, I have had passengers who asked for something in particular.... If it was to fly over their house, probably okay, if was for an unusual maneuver, no, the flight won't be that thrilling.

If the passenger has been thrilled, probably good. If the pilot of the passenger "thrill" flight has been thrilled, probably not good.
