You Spin Me Right Round

I'm finally ready for Sandusky.

You see, ever since my first coaster ride in 1996, I'd never dared ventured on another until last week when I was at the happiest place on earth - DisneyWorld.

I hopped on the newest ride at Animal Kingdom in search of the Yeti on "Everest," Epcot's "Space Mountain," and the Magic Kingdom's "Splash Mountain". Then I did what every Disney aficionado recommended by heading to MGM's "Tower of Terror" and the Aerosmith "Rock and Rollercoaster", and finally, back to Epcot's "Fast Track"

And for the record, I got on those rides more than twice!

Now, I'm ready to combat the outside twirley-whirleys, I think. For those who had never been to DisneyWorld, the coasters at Space Mountain and Aerosmith are really indoor (read dark). You can't see the scare coming. We'll see how I fare if I ever make it to Arlington, TX or Sandusky, Ohio.

Bob: I had thot Space Mountain was a kiddy ride! My son brought me along (all 5 years of age then) and when the ride started, I knew something was "wrong"! Darn! It was an indoor roller coaster! I was hanging on tight and one hand grasping my son Max lightly (I didn't want to scare him). When we came out I was flusterred (cussing under my breath) and Max was going "Pa, I like, y'know"!

Be careful though. It was this kind of ride that got me to go sky diving.

And congrats on conquering your fears!

Me: LOL. You know, we made sure to stop by and check out our faces after each ride. My next coaster goal is to make sure I look great in those pics. Talk about low self-esteem after scanning for our faces! But, seriously, now you're scaring me. That challenging, huh?
