Original Toronto Star caption: Luckiest kids in the world yesterday were Joe Meunier, 9, left, and Barry Wilkins, 7, right, who were chosen by Patty Conklin, CNE midway impresario, centre, to preview his breathtaking rides. The roller coaster-fastest one in the world-is the best ride in the world, they agreed. I could go on it 20 times enthused Joe. Star photographer Barry Philp, who went along on the first trip to get pictures, turned green at this point and hastily left the scene. The kids were much hardier.
