Rode it a bunch, I always wanted to ride it during the 10 o'clock firework show. My parents wouldn't wait in line for it.

That ride was full of those wicked pot smokers all the time cuase the police couldnt get to you out over the River. However, many a person was paranoid on the ride back!!


That's not the worst strategy. Though as someone who could write a book about how to smoke weed in the quarter safely, white things have changed, I don't think I'd go that route since kids would be in that car later, and those things look like they're enclosed.

Yes. Once and only once. It stopped over the river at the peak and I was stuck for like 20 mins. It cured me real fast. It was getting very hot inside.
