Grand Launch for VIPs

I planted my feet right behind the egg-cup coaster cart and checked Koopa and Link one last time! Both riders sat snug under the red rubber band harness, ready for the ride of their lives. Yoshi held up the clothespin clapperboard, giving me a decisive nod from the bookend. Cupping both hands, I shouted a mighty countdown, gripped the rear bumper of the cart, and gave it one massive, heroic shove! The blue bottle-cap wheels rattled across the smooth dark wood, careening straight into the ruler drop with a joyful clatter. Hearing them zip through the loop felt like total theme park triumph!
