oh, where to begin with this one? it is a time-honored tradition. my girl scout troop went on one every year around Halloween. it's where you go to like a farm site or whatever at night and they've got a hay wagon filled up with hay and drawn by a tractor, and everyone gets on it and they drive through fields and orchards and stuff and people dressed up as scary things jump out at the wagon and scare the shit out of the little kids. (and still me, honestly, if i were to go on one now. i am a ridiculously easy scare.) we always had apple cider at the end of ours. (a non-alcoholic drink, not like whatever cider is over there and in canada--though we've got that stuff available here too i think)

now i really want to go on one again this year

i was about to say, "BUT WIKIPEDIA SAYS OTHERWISE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force"

and then i noticed that there is a paragraph at the top explaining that the following article is about something which does not exist. helpful.

anyway, my story > physics

it was at the trocadero. i was always too young to go in it, but it looked like the scariest thing ever. Now the trocadero has a new scariest thing ever though, the old segaworld escalators to NOWHERE.
