Gardner has moved his cigar smoking to his garage because the Screamer has marred the view from his back patio.

Having lived next to a freeway, I can’t imagine the screams being too much louder than the vehicle noise.

If you live next to a 12-lane freeway and an amusement park, you kind of have to expect noise.

I looked up Connecticuts Motto thinking it may say “Keep Quiet” or maybe “shut up or be taken off the ride”

It doesnt. The atate motto is “Qui Transtulit Sustinet”
Now for those of you who dont speak Latin it means “He Who Transplanted Still Sustains”

Whatever that means.

It sounds almost as dumb in English as it does in Latin.

Any way dont ride the Scandia Screamer if you cant keep quiet ,the folks across the Freeway get upset.

Those who have complained have created a ton more business for the very thing they complained about.

Beautiful! I've lived next to a 6 lane highway. I would have preferred the screaming to the endless roar of trucks at all hours of the night.

Why do you go on a ride like that except to get scared and scream?

***Riders who let out a screech — or just about any other noise — are pulled off and sent to the back of the line. ****

Do they stop the ride in mid drop and pull screamers off? How do they do that! What about multiple screamers who screm at different times?

What’s really scary is that this story is serious; how many babies die before they are old enough to express their needs by screaming because of idiot “parents” who value their own noise or silence more than the simple understanding that other people count, too?

A 12 lane freeway would reasonably be seen (heard?) to mask a lot of noise unless the source of the noise, other people having fun, is already known and coveted.
