The CRAMinator

With the Calgary Stampede upon us I have an idea for a new Stampede ride called the CRAMinator.

The concept of the ride is to stuff a bunch of strangers into a hot box with very little circulation. 45% can sit, the rest have to stand and find something to hold onto. The brave ones will try to balance in the open only to step on your toes.

Ensure that some people are drunk, some like to fart, some have wicked BO, and throw in the odd shirtless guy with a hairy back.

The ride will start with a series of jerking motions then eventually it picks up speed and will cruise along rocking softly back & forth putting you into a calm, almost hypnotic state. Then without warning the ride will grind to a stop causing everyone left standing to hold onto something until they are white knuckled. Some people will get off the ride, but unfortunately more will jam themselves in until the doors are ready to burst. Occasionally the ride will stop mid way with no apparent reason.

You can expect long delays and long line ups all for the small cost of only $2 per ride. Tickets and passes can also be purchased for multiple rides if you enjoy punishing yourself.

Sound familiar ? It should - its called the Calgary C-Train.
