Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is still ahead of its time, both the time it was made and the time it was set, because there's still yet to be a consumer automobile that is land-worthy, sea-worthy, and air-worthy. So is The Jetsons, since we don't have steel-poled extreme high-rise houses.

The future has been a disappointment because when I was a kid, they promised us hoverboards by 2015.

It is now 2018, and I do not have a board that hovers. Not even self-tying laces or dehydrated pizza.

I like my Idea better. Here are some scenerios, along with the roller coasters I'd like to "ride".

Crystal Beach, Ontario 1927 to 1946 (Cyclone)

The Pike, California 1930 to 1968 (Cyclone Racer)

Euclid Beach, Ohio 1929 to 1969 (Thriller) plus three other wooden coasters

Walled Lake, Michigan 1929 to 1968 (Flying Dragon)

Riverview, Illinois 1927 to 1967 (Bobs. plus six other wooden roller coasters)

Pacific Ocean Park 1961 to 1968 (Sea Serpent)

Coney Island, Ohio 1937 to 1964 (Shooting Star & the Wildcat)

I could go on and on! :D

A post that was irrelevant to movies (and TV) has been removed.
The main purpose seemed to have been venting opinions about subjects we don't like to be discussed on this forum.

Please don't repost musings like that.
