In 1994, five-year-old Frankie Gobel begged his father to ride
the wooden roller coaster, Rolling Thunder, just once. That one
ride was enough to hook the pair on the exhilaration and excitement
of riding roller coasters. In this memoir, author Charles F. Gobel
describes the pair's fifteen-year adventure of traveling to
amusement parks around the United States to experience the thrill
of the ride.
From their inaugural season, Charles and Frankie traveled by
car, plane, and sleeper train to ride coasters of all sizes and
heart-thumping capabilities. "Flying with Frankie" narrates their
journey as the duo spend more than 300 days in forty different
amusement parks, conquering 150 diverse thrill rides and thousands
of roller coasters.
This travelogue details the adventures and describes the wide
variety of coaster rides they experienced. Just as important as the
rides, however, are the heartfelt memories created through all of
their adventures and the steadfast bond that developed between the
two as they followed the quest to take that one perfect ride.
