Summary

Years have passed. Literally, six years have passed for this young boy who is finally of sufficient height to ride. And what a ride it will be! The upcoming experience will form a bond between father and son that forever will live in the annals of family lore.

This roller coaster, aptly named "Old Rickety" represents a rite of passage and the boy's entrance way into all that is fun. His loving mother looks on, a little less than enthusiastically, and questions, whether her boy will survive this trip with his father. Of course, with this particular father, any trip has an extra degree or two of danger.

Make no mistake, the boy's father means well and knows exactly how excited his young son is about this challenge. Despite what you might hear from the old lady sitting behind them, Dad wants only the best for his six-year-old son. It's just that sometimes, or more accurately, most times, things don't go as planned. Not for this man. And certainly not for his long-suffering family. 

Enjoy the ride. And remember, keep your arms and hands inside the vehicle at all times!

Just woke an entire campsite up laughing at this

Oh my goodness what can you say about this. What a ride in itself, I so wanted the little man to be big enough to get on the ride that I almost held my breath till he got on. Then the lady in the back with the flappy face, I laughed out loud so much that I woke the people in the tent next to us, I think they would have forgiven me had I not then heard the part about the teeth and laughed so hard that I actually snorted. I have visions now of flamenco dancing wives, flappy faced gummy old ladies, one pinned to the seat Dad who ends up playing puppets with a set of escaping dentures.. what an adventure. This is brilliant stuff. Everyone should listen to this just for the sheer joy it gives you. Just brilliant.
