| Weird Things About Coasters |
|
| There once was a man who did not talk for six years because of shell shock, but after a ride on the Coney Island Cyclone, he told his friend, "I feel sick." There used to be a roller coaster track that people could drive their car on. A long time ago there was a roller coaster that jumped a gap, but it was banned because the jump would vary according to the weight of the people. Some of the items people find under roller coasters besides wallets, change, and keys are glass eyes, fake legs, brassieres and false teeth. |
