Looks like someone had too much fun playing Rollercoaster Tycoon.

For the sake of argument, one could save a great deal of money on that design by simply eliminating the inversions and replacing them with 100 feet of straightaway angled upward about 30-40 degrees.

Yes, but the inventer wanted to kill people with flair.

Reminds me of that bad sci-fi film where everyone is killed at 30.

There should be a warning when you get on the ride:

"Warning: Last 6 cars WILL get wet!!!"

Sounds like "Logan's Run." Everyone had to go to carousel on their 30th birthday, supposedly (as they were told) for a futuristic form of regeneration/reincarnation.

That was my initial reaction too. But I have to believe that this was not serious. A perverted joke of some sort?
