D'arby and her bandmate on the Typhoon, which is the two giant hammers that swing back and forth in opposite directions and you're sitting in the hammerhead and eventually you make it all the way around and at that moment it is better than the Giant Dipper and all the drop rides put together, being upside down and barely held inside this aluminum-barred car by a fraying old 1960s-style seatbelt and you hear change jingling out of pockets and bouncing on the ground a million miles below your head.
You *wish* you were 16 again.
