What began as "Russian Mountains" evolved across Europe, and eventually, found their way to the good ol' U.S. of A... In 1884, one man wanted to use his vast fortune--NO! Not to help anyone!--to keep a recently re-unioned American population from getting too drunk, too horny, and too gambly... So he built himself a roller coaster, and with it, he made even more money (which he did not share), but at least he gave us all the gift of post-mule speeds, and the exhilaration that comes with it! Join us to learn about the FIRST ROLLER COASTER! Plus, we get Springy in the MouthGarf Report, and especially confounding (and that's saying something) in I See What You Did There!
