Synopsis:
Barry Allen has feared roller coasters since he had a traumatic experience while riding one in high school. Even after all his daredevil stunts performed as the Flash, Barry still fears them. While chaperoning a youth basketball team at a carnival, Barry is forced to ride the roller coaster. He is overcome with fear and paralyzed. Then he notices the track is broken. Barry lets out a scream, then becomes the Flash and repairs the track at super speed before any harm can occur. The experience allows Barry to overcome his fear and is anxious to ride again.
