COASTER BOY He started out early in life with this burning desire to be a rebel. Now he was living it! He had his favorite haunts and his little side-kick Ding. Him and Ding had done things that most kids could only dream about growing up in this one horse Ohio town. Yet, as Coaster Boy and Ding walked thru the rapidly darkening parking lot they saw an eerie light emanating from the eyes of the DRAGON. It was more a beam than mere illumination. Suddenly, the light turned and seemed to indicate their safest route past the guard who had stopped their nightly excursions before. Little did this cheap rent-a-cop understand their need to reach the DRAGON and the importance of this excursion... TO RIDE THE DRAGON! It wasn’t the first time that CB had ridden the Flaming Dragon, but it was going to be the best time he ever had! This time it also would be the best ride on the Faming Dragon then anyone else had or would ever have! Why? For the past two months CB had been building a full scale model of the Dragon in his basement. He had the original plans from the designer and had all the safety specs. It was just as he suspected. The ride was only rated to go 40 mph. but the manufactures specs say that the Flaming Dragon can do 100 mph with no problem! With all of the safety switches bridged and the main program tweaked a bit CB knew he could ride the Flaming Dragon at well over 100mph! “Man this is gonna be some kind of ride”! CB thought. He had it all worked out in his basement, except for that little glitch in the program that kept making the coaster flip on turn 6! “Hmmm, must be a track sensor that I missed somewhere”. Pondered CB, as he picked up the mangled replica of the Dragon Coaster and eyed it curiously. “Now that would have hurt”! He draped the twisted coaster toy on his head, like a dunce cap he wore it and sat back down at his computer. He looked at his reflection in the dark monitor and chuckled at his hat of wreckage! “Now, where is that sensor”?
