Stop, Drop and Barf

Two weeks ago, my family and I made our yearly trip to Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom®. My family enjoyed the rides while I carried stuff, but that's another story.

My son was begging for someone to accompany him on "The Dominator". This ride takes the riders atop a very high tower, then hurtles them back to earth. The riders bounce up and down repeatedly until the ride comes to stop. Riders depart this feature dizzy and nauseous, yearning for terra firma and an air sick bag.

They threw caution to the wind and performed a "Stop, Drop and Barf" manuever, and it wasn't pretty. Haven't these people ever heard the adage "Stop, Drop, and Roll"?
