Years have passed. Literally, six years have passed for this young boy who is finally of sufficient height to ride. And what a ride it will be! The upcoming experience will form a bond between father and son that forever will live in the annals of family lore.

This roller coaster, aptly named "Old Rickety" represents a rite of passage and the boy's entrance way into all that is fun. His loving mother looks on, a little less than enthusiastically, and questions, whether her boy will survive this trip with his father. Of course, with this particular father, any trip has an extra degree or two of danger.

Make no mistake, the boy's father means well and knows exactly how excited his young son is about this challenge. Despite what you might hear from the old lady sitting behind them, Dad wants only the best for his six-year-old son. It's just that sometimes, or more accurately, most times, things don't go as planned. Not for this man. And certainly not for his long-suffering family. 

Enjoy the ride. And remember, keep your arms and hands inside the vehicle at all times!
