An Ode to Coasters by Deanna Paukstitus

Oh, roller coasters, great and true,

Who pierce through skies of ocean blue,

With trains that dazzle in the light,

And track that grants us wings for flight;

Thank you for the fun we’ve had,

The times we’ve shared, the joy you add

To riders’ lives, those one and all

Who throw their arms up as they fall;

Alpengeist, ArieForce One,

Lightning Rod, Hyperion,

Skyrush, Great Bear, Fury too—

From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you.
