'Superman - Ride of Steel'

I see the 'Superman Ride' at Six Flags had some problems the other day. It happened in Vallejo, CA, which is in the Bay Area, my stomping grounds.

A bunch of folks were stranded on the thing for a few hours. But what struck me about the incident was the photo. It's kinda hard to tell, but many of the people appear to be grown-ups. Aren't roller coasters for kids and teens?

It reminds me of a joke I heard ages ago: 'When my father was my age, he'd built a house, fought in a war, supported a wife and two kids, and started his own business. My greatest accomplishment? I have all five Planet of the Apes movies on DVD.'
