The thing with this rollercoaster is that it had been Ground Zero to Gabriel Tan's most embarrassing childhood memory.
Years ago, when they first visited this amusement park, there were three of them: Miguel, Gabriel, and their mother, Matilde. They came to celebrate—their mother had built their first small business, and that afternoon she signed a partnership agreement with a major shopping mall. They had quite a big lunch—pizzas and milk shakes and gigantic burgers. For some reason, as soon as Miguel had set foot on the amusement park's grounds, he looked at the elevated tracks of the rollercoaster, and suddenly threw a tantrum: he wanted to ride that thing, that "train in the sky," and he's kicking and screaming on the ground to compel their mother so go directly to the rollercoaster booth.
