The strange, tragic, meta history of Six Flags America's Two-Face roller coaster

Note: I posted this at about_faces last Friday, but between the great response and the fact that at least half of you are MD-area locals who'd actually remember the subject in question, I figured this might be of some interest here. When the Six Flags America opened in the Maryland town of Largo about ten years ago, seventeen-year-old me was the happiest

I was at the park that day, and may even have ridden that coaster then. But I think I left before the accident.

I actually thought of you last night. I was walking around Hamburg, Germany and passed a gay club (not why i thought of you) called "Heroes". The banner on the outside and all of its posters is of the Red Tornado lifting Nightwing up into the air. Nightwing's slightly higher, so his groin is just under Tornado's face, and he's got a look of semi-ecstasy on his face. I didn't go in...

ps: if you ever change your mind about that addendum to one of your stories i once offered you, email me at ydavis@gmail.com ;)

Haha, between that and the Green Lantern gay bar here in DC, I have to wonder how many superhero themed gay bars there are out there.

See, I have to wonder if the artist knew that Reddy's an android. Not that it matters, I suppose, but it does raise certain questions...

I still think about those stories of yours from time to time, but I almost never see the people in question anymore (one a year or every two years at this point? Maybe?), so I see even less reason to know the full stories, mildly curious though I may be. But who knows, I may end up taking you up on it down the line, if I need the story of something. :)
