- You're ALL missing the point!!!

- While MoA is big enough to hold a major ride, like a B&M Inverted
- Looper, or an Arrow Multi-Element, that will never happen, as the
- amusement park in the MoA is a KIDDIE PARK!!! The ride is mild
- because it was designed with Children in mind (as was the rest of
- the park). I mean, c'mon people, put it into perspective here!!

- You sound like the kind of person who compares a Vekoma ROLLER
- SKATER coaster to an Arrow something-or-other!
