Kemah Boardwalk including the Boardwalk Bullet rollercoaster in Kemah, Texas

I will demonstrate to you what happens in the back seat on the Boardwalk Bullet in a series of photos.

As you can see here everyone is happy and having a good time in the front.

In the middle there is a little fear and fun on the riders faces. While in the back there is bliss on the face of Bond as he crests the Boardwalk Bullet's first drop.

About a third of the way down the Boardwalk Bullet's first drop in the back seat what could be described as a "kick" of airtime sharply sends Bond's body flying up into his lap bar and seat belt. In a millisecond his subconscious brain completely freaks out with an "I'm going to die" impulse that against the will of a seasoned coaster enthusiast sends one arm reaching for something to hold onto for dear life.

At this point a "colorful metaphor" escapes his lips as he fights the urge to hold on for his life or to just go with it.

By the way look at the woman's face in the lower left corner...pure bliss. These rapid and intense changes in emotion brought upon by coasters are what make them a cathartic and relaxing experience for most riders.

From the bottom of the first drop it is hard to really put your finger on just exactly what the Boardwalk Bullet does or what sort of a layout that it has.
