...fair's fun-and-game area, or Gayway, does not measure up to the taste and imagination of Disneyland, but it has plenty to keep visitors busy. Among the attractions: a German roller coaster that makes sharp right-angle turns; a "Space Wirl" that features cars controlled by riders spinning wildly in several directions; an Italian sports-car race; and an "adults only" section that includes "Backstage U.S.A.," a LeRoy Prinz production in which oglers have the illusion of walking through a show girls' dressing room...
...when most other lettuce producers are weathered in. In that short space of 90 days, the valley's farmers supply the U.S. with 80% of its winter lettuce for an annual take of $22 million. Depending on Eastern supply and demand, prices rise and fall like a roller coaster. Says one grower: "It makes the stock market seem tame by comparison."

He justifies the "I love yous" by capturing the feeling of the roller-coaster slide into passion, that breath-catching dive in which a man and a woman cannot help themselves and do not want to. Indeed. Wink and Gin are so romantically in love that they do not sleep together, a refreshingly archaic innovation for the modern novel...
...presents that she cannot collect unless she goes home with him. On the way home, the sprightly quarry leads the hard-breathing hunter a merry chase through an amusement park; and before he can catch up with her, old age catches up with him. He collapses after a roller-coaster ride, and at home he has to rest. But he soon feels strong enough to offer her a bottle of champagne. In an uproarious seduction scene, the poor old goat discovers that all the time he has been after her virtue, the dear child has been after his wallet...
