Don’t scream when you read this, it’s been banned.

Gardner has moved his cigar smoking to his garage because the Screamer has marred the view from his back patio.

CARBON CRIMINAL!!!

Most of the complaints have come from residents in a pocket of neatly landscaped homes that are separated from the 30-year-old amusement park by a 12-lane freeway.

I'm laughing so hard my sides hurt!!!

There isn’t any Interstate 80 in Ontario. There is however one in Sacramento AND a Scandia, is that where it is at?

Having lived next to a freeway, I can’t imagine the screams being too much louder than the vehicle noise.

If you live next to a 12-lane freeway and an amusement park, you kind of have to expect noise.

I looked up Connecticuts Motto thinking it may say “Keep Quiet” or maybe “shut up or be taken off the ride”

It doesnt. The atate motto is “Qui Transtulit Sustinet”
Now for those of you who dont speak Latin it means “He Who Transplanted Still Sustains”

Whatever that means.

It sounds almost as dumb in English as it does in Latin.

Any way dont ride the Scandia Screamer if you cant keep quiet ,the folks across the Freeway get upset.
