Washington – Texas Sen. Ted Cruz likes to talk in his stump speech about how the campaign has been a roller coaster.

For Cruz on Wednesday the analogy became reality.
Cruz and some campaign aides took a ride on the Ravine Flyer II, a hybrid wooden roller coaster located at an amusement park in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Cruz posted video of his ride on Twitter, and then referred to it during his rally in the park in the shadow of the roller coaster.
He says the ride was “awesome” and that seeing Lake Erie was the top of one hill was “breathtaking.”
Cruz says, “My travel aide, I thought he was going to scream like a girl, but he didn’t.”
Cruz jokes that if that had happened, the video would have been on every computer screen in America.
