[edit] Plot summary

Grissom, Sara and Nick investigate when a roller coaster derails at an amusement park, leaving six people dead. When it turns out there were only five people on the roller coaster, they suspect foul play. Catherine and Warrick investigate the murder of a 13-year old girl.

[edit] Critical analysis

  • The episode contains several references to the 1898 novella by Henry James, entitled The Turn of the Screw.
  • The roller coaster used in the main story is a Galaxi, a mass-produced transportable ride used equally in amusement parks and on carnival circuits. The particular roller coaster is named Screaming Mummy, and operated at Pharaoh's Lost Kingdom from 2000 to 2006.[1][2]
