Carnival barker Richard Hunt and his assistant Lana strap the tourists into The Tether day after day, launching them into the future and bringing them back—but only if they use preapproved safe coordinates of future events.
The colossal, the stupendous, the first ride in the world to bring you back from the future, The Tether. I’m your conductor, Richard Hunt, but you can call me Mister Richie.
