Ode to Summer Time Thrills

I love to look at Rollercoasters














They show how engineering meets entertainment























The curves and the steel merge art and speed and fire and wind














This coaster lives at Cedar Point, in Sandusky Ohio. The view of the frozen lake from the top of this coaster is particularly breathtaking, merging the cold of winter with the memory of the heat of summer.

Close your eyes, and you can hear the scream of the thrill seekers as they crest the hill and hurtle towards the earth.

If I am not mistaken, this is now one of the tallest coasters in the world, a feat of engineering and design that is waiting for the next, bigger and faster thrill machine.

There is, however, no chance of me ever riding this peice of artwork.

I have enough thrills in my life to want to soil my pants for all to see.
