The ride of insanity

I’m going to Canada’s Wonderland next week and I’m very excited to try the scariest rides there.  I just heard about the most recent and expensive ride they opened up to the public, after much debate and speculation.  Its supposed to be the wildest craziest ride they have to offer. Its assured that all safety inspections have been passed but many still hold doubts as several dubious incidents have occurred despite staff reassurance. 
People are lining up in droves to get on, men, women and children; old and young alike, all convinced they can handle what the beast has to offer.  Once the thought has been planted in their mind, normally kind gentle people are knocking over anyone who dare stand in their way of this ride. The wait time unbearable. 
Its ability to unfailingly grip all of your senses and shock them beyond reason is the secret to its power over the common man  A heaving groaning mass roaring though dark tunnels, its speed and duration out of your control. You are at its mercy until its over, when, you’ll never be sure. It has horrible odors your nose never thought could possibly exist, squeals that knives on chalkboards envy, jolts and starts that can bring you to your knees and at the end, a narrow escape from the groping hands of an ever present lurking figure in the crowd.
Its said that once a man experiences its ride of sheer terror no one ever willingly steps aboard its rails again.  They have forever changed. The man who exits is not the same who entered.  No one ever wants to discuss this experience, much like a war vet. Feelings of despair, anxiety and ill will flood their mind, body and spirit. Those poor souls who endure the ride again for some unknown sadistic reason are often reported to have reached the brink of insanity. Surely the devil must have influenced in some way. 
It has been called, The TTC Rush Hour Train of Insanity.  Ride it if you dare.
