I just read an article this afternoon that kinda pissed me off. What sets this article apart from the other articles that piss me off on the daily is that this article covers a topic that I actually know a lot about. No, I won't link to it. You can easily find it on your own if you research the keywords I'm about to throw out there.

So, Spring Break is right around the corner and summer is not far behind it. I know what that means. It means families are venturing out of the home to spend some quality time together. It's a great time to do it, too. The scamdemic is basically over and people are looking for an escape. For many, including myself, that escape comes in the form of a destination: more specifically, a regional theme park or amusement park. Who doesn't love a good day at the park, am I right? But, lo and behold, like everything else going on in the world right now, the MSM wants to inject politics and fear into everything it touches. Keep reading, I'll explain how this latest story to emerge is utter bullshit.

So the article in question revolves around a power outtage at a certain high-ranking park. No, it's not Disney. But isn't it interesting that your mind somehow wondered over to that name instinctively? Actually, it was Universal Studios. But not the one in Florida, I bet that was the first one you thought of too, wasn't it? Crazy how that happens, ain't it? So, let's read this attention-grabbing headline: 11 people resued from ride at Universal Studios after power outage. Sounds serious, don't it? So serious they had to call in god-damned fire department to rescue 11 people. The first paragraph gives us the name of the attraction: Transformers. Right away, I'm smirking. Because I'm familiar with that particular ride's vehicle and track system.

You see, Transformers' ride vehicle looks like this: https://www.themeparktourist.com/files/styles/article_main_desktop/public/news/screen_shot_2020-08-27_at_1.31.43_pm.png?itok=RcYkE2CM

It rolls around on the ground at walking speed, fixed to a track that winds through some stages, screens, and special effects. Interestingly, this is never shown or discussed in any of the articles I've seen because it completely kills the fear porn that they're trying to sell. This wasn't some harrowing rescue where 11 people could have died. The fire department was more than likely called because the park recieved word that the power wouldn't be restored for a while, so they needed a ladder to help some people in one of the vehicles to climb down to the ground. But that's not nearly as interesting, isn't it?

Yadda, yadda, yadda, three paragraphs later: Last month, a 14-year-old fell from a ride in Orlando. Okay, this DID happen last month. A kid visiting a roadside park in Orlando fell from one of those drop tower rides. It was built cheap from a low-tier manufacturer and lacked the extra safety features that you would find on a more expensive model from a better-known manufacturer. And apart from that, the kid was over the suggested weight limit set by the manufacturer, unknown to the teenage ride operators at said roadside park. That ride is a 400-ft tall, 75mph freefall ride, not exactly comparable to an electric scooter rolling around a warehouse floor at walking speed, isn't it? Are yall seeing this shit? Different ride, different manufacturer, different park, different state, different freaking circumstances but NO. They HAVE to sell the fear! They want you thinking that any place other than your living room is a death trap waiting to strike! It's infuriating. And I (along with the other fans of the amusement community) see this every year. I guess the only reason it's especially pissing me off now is because the agenda here is SO. EASY. TO. SEE.

They're pissed that, not only are us people who are awake are defying their lockdown orders. But the normies are, too. They hate that we're all out here having a good time at a place that isn't Disney. They're seething.

Fuck me, do I hate these people.
