To see how trivial the average writer seems to consider roller coaster and theme park statistics, take a gander at this article:

Or, maybe those things have been sinking after all?

EDIT 8:49a.m. : Oops, the author is right...the stats are for the drops, not the heights. How weird is that?

UGH! AGAIN! People thinking they know it all but don't know SQUAT!

It's entertaining at school, I laugh about it, cause we're just kids.

BUT WHEN AN ADULT WRITER SCREWS UP?

Everyone listens and belives them. It's sick. I can't even decide on what story to tell.

How about This:

I was in line for The Beast, standing next to some big kids. (At the time, I was 7). They were talking about what rides they were going to ride next. I asked them how often they came, but at the time I went once a month.

They Said,"We come here ALL the time, were PKI EXPERTS"

I said, "Cool. Whats The Vortex like?"

They went into this explination about how cool the launch was and how you couldn't see anything in the big dome, and how there was a cool UFO.
