roller coaster by misterarnie
Cedar Point (America's Roller Coast).

Since we're in Ohio, we should ride some roller coasters.

I used my phone to take pictures of us on the way up the first hill of the Magnum XL 200. Just the first moments, and then I quickly tucked it away in my pocket well before getting to the first drop.

I did it again climbing up the first hill of the Mean Streak and suddenly our car came to a halt. Some kids in the seats in front of us said, "They do that if you have a camera. It happened to our friend."

Sure enough, some poor teen Cedar Point employee walked up the wooden stairs next to the coaster, stopped at our car and said, "Could I have your camera, sir?"

I got it back when the ride was over. He was fairly cool about it, in a disaffected teenager sort of way.

My biggest regret is that when he was standing next to us, way up there above the amusement park, asking for my phone, I didn't ask him if he would take a picture of us.
