...matchups that would have made the best stories didn't eventuate. Mets-Red Sox would have been a replay of the Buckner series of '86; and Yankees-Mets, presumably, the mythic second coming of the famed Subway Series that marked the 1950s--mythic because, these days, people who ride subways don't often get tickets to Series games in New York City.

The ride, in true Disney-esque fashion, revisits the themes expressed in the 1950s magazines--perfect family life made easier through human advances...
...class, you grab on to the hold-on bar in a compartment and do a mini chin up, lifting your legs to get airborne. Note: You need hordes of Chem 10 students spinning through the doors to fuel your flight. Without them, your free, dizzyingly enjoyable circular ride is going nowhere...
