I would generally argue the opposite - how well is it going to stick 5 years after training? Are people going to jump to the rollercoaster procedure even when it's not a sensible choice? Can a sim even effectively reproduce a rollercoaster?
The necessity for it could & should have been engineered out (and basically has been, it appears).
You have the same questions and answers previously discussed on other threads about why we don't simulator train pilots for no-engine landings and ditchings, except that those are significantly more common and significantly harder to prevent occurring in the first place.
Something else would have to come out of the sim to put rollercoaster in.
