People are compelled to leave the other rides for a little and inching slowly they come to the base of this monster big rollercoaster. They pause and then slowly their heads lift up and up and up and they cannot see the top for it rests above the clouds.
"What a stupid idea" someone says and the others murmurr in angry agreement.
Ridiculous, way over the top, not worth even spending a penny on" says another and again the heads bob up and down collectively.
"Well I suppose we should at least go on it so that we can speak with authority when we warn others to stay away" says a wise looking man and there are whispers and then hands move to their pockets to bring out the money. Tickets are purchased and solemnly with heads shaking in disapproval they get into position on the monster ride.
It starts slowly and in just a breath or a prayer's time begins to climb and undulate and growl with such speed that many of the riders are quite positive they have suffered heart attacks and are now in rollercoaster hell for their sins.
Shrieks of terror, moans of repentance rise to heaven and others on the tamer rides look upward and are afraid.
Finally after what seems forever the ride has ended. All is silent and then the sound of still alive bodies can be heard flopping over the side and feet trudge dizzily over to the fence.
"Just as we thought, a nightmare, worthless, hateful" they all cry.
But half an hour later under the cover of inky darkness they sneak back again. They can't help themselves and a guilty smile of pleasure creeps across their still ashen faces as they seat themselves once more.
