Wow, surprised so many people here haven't ever been on a roller coaster. Around here, we HAD two, but a few years ago the "Wild Cat" (which was actually a relatively small metal based coaster) was shut down when an accident killed one of the riders on it. The other, the "Zingo" (worst name ever) is at least closer to a normal size coaster. It just goes the length of the park though, which isn't a big park, and no cool loops or anything. I've always wanted to go on one of these giants, but I'm stuck with this medium-small sized thing right now.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
