The George W. Bush Coaster is one hell of a crazy roller-coster. It starts with the huge 9/11 peak. From there it's straight freefall with some small ups and downs until we hit the Iraq war. That gets the car back onto the chain, and the car clankity clanks back up some. Like all roller coasters it goes back down, and up a little bit. This time to show us Saddam right before the car plunges into the water for a big splash.
