“Ups and Downs”

Passengers got stuck aboard a roller coaster for hours at Great America in the Santa Clara, CA today, with emergency crews scrambling to get them down. The park insists it is just keeping the promise of their “ride all day” pass.

The coaster turns riders upside down 6 times, but all the stuck passengers were right-side-up. The same could not be said of passengers coming out of the Tunnel of Love ride.

Since the coaster, called “The Inverter,” goes up, down, upside down, and now just stops completely without warning, it’s being renamed “The Economy.”
