Nick And Mariah's Wild Ride

The romance between Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey is one big roller coaster ride.

Or at least that's the report from Entertainment Tonight's weekend anchor Kevin Frazier, who was along for the "ride," literally, when Cannon surprised his new bride with an evening at Southern California's Magic Mountain Amusement Park.

In a preview of the story that will air tonight on "Entertainment Tonight, " Frazier told The Early Show viewers that Cannon has a reputation as a roller-coaster aficionado but that it appears Carey shares his passion. They rode six coasters, always sitting in the front car and sometimes repeating the trip a second time, he said.

"This was Nick's surprise for Mariah," Frazier said. "It cost him the mid- to low-six figures to shut the park down for the night and have it all to themselves and Nick's friends. There were lots of signs up, saying: Nick and Mariah, a love story. It was for Nick's real friends, hanging with his buddies."

The 38-year-old singer and the 27-year-old actor were married at Carey's estate in the Bahamas April 30, about six weeks after they met while shooting her music video.

"A lot of people were surprised," Frazier said of the short romance, "but the thing that I noticed is that during the entire night at the amusement park she was very playful. She was jumping on Nick's back and he would carry her around. They were having fun; they were shouting and screaming; they were kissing.

"You know that goo goo, gah-gah love you have when you first meet someone," Frazier asked, indicating that was one way to describe the relationship. "They are very happy. She was just hanging out with Nick. There were no A-list entertainers there."
