I rode this... this THING on the way from California to Maine for a family reunion, back in 1977. I was only five years old and largely I have never recovered. To this day the "click click click" of roller-coaster "safety" ratchets sound like the firing of machine guns, felling innocent Tutsis or Hutus or Whatsis, whatever they call those poor bastards that're getting blown away in Africa all the time. Anyway they evoke death and destruction, is what I'm trying to say.
You may as well portray the gas chambers of the Holocaust as a laugh-a-minute fun ride, sir. HOW DARE YOU.
