Thanks for a most entertaining bit of Sunday reading!
Re MTG's comment, down in Coornwall where I used to live, the favoured way to induce an overdue birth is to ride the roller coaster at the local theme park then stop off for a curry on the way home - works every time!
As for what Cracked say about the New Jersey alpine ride - 'Cutting out seat belts and technicians from the budget probably made this one of the cheapest rides ever' - I think I can do better.
A place we visited in France prides itself on being one of the cheapest theme parks ever - its mission statement was be cheap enough for local families to afford regular days out there.
Thus most of the rides are attendant-free and rely on child-power to get them moving, including a vast and incredibly heavy metal swingboat and, of course, the water flume; you pick up your heavy plastic sled at the bottom of an immense spiral staircase and carry it yourself all the way to the top, where a garden hose is spraying water down the track.
On the plus side, the children are so exhausted after half a dozen goes that they never want to see another theme park again.

"...the ride was so violent it aborted your unborn children even if you had a penis...."
Inspired brilliance.

Yes, the 'Cracked' ream can bring it!
