Roller Coaster Challenge Day 10

Roller coaster Challenge Day 10 – A roller coaster that is a guilty pleasure.

Disaster Transport, Cedar Point

Disaster Transport is a bobsled-type roller coaster that runs on a half-pipe track instead of rails. It used to be an outside ride, but Cedar Point enclosed it in a building in 1990.

The ride is disappointingly short, has gimmicky, silly theming and 3D displays, and is blown off by the coaster community. BUT I LOVE IT!  Parts of the ride are quite dark, and it’s hard to see the track, so it’s a fun ride. Definitely a top 10 Cedar Point roller coasters. Definitely.

By way of update: After 28 years, fans had to say goodbye to Disaster Transport. The announcement read: Take your last "Trip to Alaska" on Disaster Transport today! The ride will be dismantled to make room for bigger and better thrills coming next season!”

Interestingly, the last rides were auctioned off for a fund-raiser, and it was ridden with the lights on. Trucks hauled 400 loads of scrap metal.

So, what is your guilty pleasure? Liking an outdated, low thrills coaster seems as harmless as chocolate, sports, or entertainment. No finger pointing here. Besides, there would be four fingers pointing back at myself if I started pointing fingers.

But, each thing, each un-confessed area, each stumbling block that keeps us from our prayer time is a guilty pleasure. Making excuses?

Keep your spiritual life in shape. Don’t let it get run-down for lack of maintenance and become a pile of scraps.
