The story of Jeff Tremaine is sort of similar to that of Cinderella, that haggard little wench come celebrated toast of the town, but not really. Born a poor white military brat, Jeff was hustled from state to state until finally settling in the area of Rockville, Maryland. There he defied his parents on a regular basis and got into all sorts of ne'er-do-well activities such as skateboarding, BMX, reggae music, and art. Perhaps most key to this fairy tale is that in high school Tremaine made the acquaintance of Adam Spiegel, a hyperactive little pipsqueak that puberty had somehow kipped over and left with an extremely high voice for an extremely long time. In 1985, Jeff was booted from the parental nest and landed in St. Louis.

But faster is not always safer and the new locomotive outfitted with the most modern computerised bells and whistles, carrying 39 cars, transforms into a monster coaster in the blink of an eye.
