Last week, my daughter in law, her son (grandson), and my two granddaughters (other son's daughters) went to a regional amusement park called Silverwood. Grandson, who is 9, absolutely adores roller coasters. This wouldn't be that interesting except for the fact this he is autistic. One would think that the sensory stimulation of a roller coaster would be too much, but far from it, he loves them. My two granddaughters, ages 10 and 13, were not so sure. However, (stupid) grandma talked them into it. I also was stupid enough to go on it myself. I'd forgotten how much I really hate the feeling of falling! Adding to the terror of the monster is the fact that the thing goes underground, too, so you not only have the sensation of falling, you feel like you're going to hit something, too! I bought the souvenir picture showing granddaughter 1 scared...granddaughter 2 frightened...and grandma absolutely terrified. I think I'll carry it with me, in case I'm tempted again!

The park I go to is Kings Dominion, and there's this one ride there that goes 305ft up in the air and then drops you at an 85 degree angle! A lot of people have blacked out on it, it goes so fast. IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
