Ride the Screamer! (But no shrieking please)
Neighbors’ complaints spur amusement park to institute a no-noise rule
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - No screaming on the Screamer!
A suburban amusement park has gotten so many complaints from neighbors about bloodcurdling screams that it has instituted a no-shrieking rule for its scary new thrill ride, the Scandia Screamer, a gigantic, windmill-like contraption that sends people plunging 16 stories to Earth at nearly 60 mph.
Riders who let out a screech — or just about any other noise — are pulled off and sent to the back of the line.
As passengers are strapped into the two metal baskets, the operator recites this warning: "We are required to remove you from this ride if you make any noise. If you feel you might make a noise, please cover your mouth tightly with you hand, like this (The operator then covers mouth with hand). If we hear any noise through your hand, we will remove you from the ride. So please remain silent and enjoy the Screamer."
