Please Keep Your Hands And Arms Inside The Ride Vehicle... 🎢
Who in their right mind would ever want to go from 0 to 67 mph in 10 seconds and then get flung around a 400-foot track in connecting seats? At least 300 million people, and that’s just in U.S. theme parks alone. Riding a roller coaster is one of the greatest thrills you can experience, aside from jumping out of an airplane. Aug. 16 is National Roller Coaster Day, and while we might not be able to visit all our favorite coasters right now, we can still celebrate all the thrills they provide.

Lunar New Year is a holiday that’s over 3,500 years old! Like most ancient holidays, many myths are associated with it, including a mythical dragon named Nian that would eat livestock, crops, and even people on Lunar New Year. That was until a wise man figured out that Nian was scared of firecrackers and the color red.
