Rollercoasters are supposed to be exhilarating, right? What better way to accomplish that than by incorporating the alarmingly high chance of imminent death into your ride? : D

In the video of "The Roller Coaster of Death", I love how a ad for Six Flags just pops up. You won't see me anywhere near that or any roller coaster.

You'd think with the general state of disrepair of their entire country, they would be reluctant to try something like the RCoD, esp. with one car derailed! Perhaps they're hoping for a fatal crash to get the heck out of THAT particular Hell! You know, the "Dear Leader" rode it with BOTH arms up the WHOLE time, and didn't scream like a little girl! Of course, since he DESIGNED the entire park and all the rides, he knew what to expect. Is there ANYTHING that tubby runt can't do???
I am not a huge roller coaster fan (with the exception of the coasters on the Santa Cruz boardwalk) and just looking at the "Roller Coaster of Death" gives me the heebie jeebies!
It feels good to write.
