Plot
Percy really wants to go on a rollercoaster so his friends Thomas, Kana and Nia work together to make it happen.

MY VIEWS

I get that this episode was suppose to be about Percy getting over his fear of rollercoasters, like many kids who are afraid but why have that as a subject matter when you could do that for a human which makes more sense since Percy is a steam locomotive and also why does he have a fear of rollercoasters when he never got on it in the end. Also why would Percy be scared of a hill, a tunnel and Canonball curve when he had been to those places before? And why would Thomas suggest the loop-de-loop at Brendam Docks when there was one at the obstacle course earlier in the episode? It makes no sense!

If you ask me this would've been better if it were about Percy trying to get over his fear of the obstacle course that Thomas made in 'Rules of the Game'. We saw him fearing it so why not have the episode of him conquering his fear of it as well? It would be a much better episode than him getting over his fear of something that he'd never gone on at all in the episode. 

Also the song, another unmemorable piece of, pardon my french here, utter crap to eat up time. Why have songs in some episodes when other episodes of the new show proves that they can work just fine without it? 

This was another terrible episode. I can't believe there was another episode that is equal to 'Dragon Train' and this episode had more story than the former!
