galveston roller coaster stuck again — why does common sense always take a back seat to thrill rides? I walked past the Pleasure Pier yesterday and saw the same old scene: a train of carts dangling mid-air while tourists waved their phones around like they were documenting a miracle. My grandson, who’s 10, asked me why they don’t just bolt those tracks better. And he’s got a point — we keep throwing up these metal monsters without stopping to think, and then act surprised when they grind to a halt. It’s not rocket science; it’s basic maintenance. Stop the hype, check the bolts, and save the drama for the Ferris wheel.
