I've done a Herschell Mad Mouse before but this was to be Bond's first try at one.  He was a little nervous about how rickety the structure is.  As he put it the coaster looks like it was a giant erector set bolted together.



Being a fifty-one year old steel coaster it is beyond ancient.  Look at this kids face.  He looks like he's not so sure the ride is going to hold together and might shake itself apart.  The Mad Mouse is rough and shaky but that is really part of the coasters classic charm.



This coaster is just fun and frightening at the same time.  You can see both of those emotions on the faces of these girls as they speed around one of the turns on the Mad Mouse.



Another little way the Mad Mouse messes with your mind is it has absolutely no restraints.  Most people are used to strapping in, getting locked down on and being secured as much as possible when they ride.  All you have holding you in is gravity and nothing more.
