Roller Coasting (magazine story)

"They're so fast and so screamy and upside down!"

- Percy on rollercoasters

Roller Coasting is a magazine story illustrated using images from the All Engines Go series.

Plot
The carnival is in town and all the engines are very excited about all the rides, especially the rollercoaster. All the engines except Percy who thinks they're too fast and upside down. Thomas, Nia and Kana decide that if Percy were to learn more about rollercoasters, he wouldn't be so afraid of them. They take Percy to the obstacle course where they have a obstacle similar to a rollercoaster of their own, but Percy isn't convinced. Nia suggests that they start smaller and Thomas concludes that they need to find a big hill.

As they approach a hill, Thomas explains that a rollercoaster hill is just like a regular hill, but faster. Percy says that he always slows down on hills because they're scary, but Thomas suggests that they all do the hill together. So, Thomas jumps in front of Percy and Nia and Kana go behind. The four engines climb the hill and whizz down the other side. Percy finds it both scary and fun.

Next, Kana takes everyone to the darkest tunnel on Sodor and even turns off her light to make it even scarier. Then, they all rush down the twisty Cannonball Curve. By now, Percy is enjoying the thrill. Thomas thinks Percy is nearly ready to tackle the big loop-the-loop. To practise for the big loop, they first take Percy to the docks where Cranky spins Percy around in the air.

Afterwards, Percy is ready to finally tackle the obstacle course's loop. Percy spins off the loop and lands in some hay bales. Percy thinks the whole experience was terrifying and amazing, but the other engines wonder how Percy managed to do it. Percy offers to show them with a chuckle.
