Now me, I can't wait to ride the fun wheel and the screamin!!!
As you approach the line, you have a choice; you can either take the road less traveled (the stationary car), or follow the throngs of people going to the car that moves. Now come on it cant be that bad right? Even if the car moves, its just a Ferris Wheel. Where can the car go?

The very first time the cage dropped, I felt my heart drop too. I almost lost it. I was literally having the start of a panic attack. The poor couple across from us where looking at me like I was crazy, especially after T-Man had just mentioned to them after seeing the Tower of Terror ride as we rose up, how we just went on the Tower of Terror the other day and It was my absolute favorite ride. All I could think of was I was going to die!

great chapter Heather. except I got the heebie geebies myself just reading about the rides.. BOTH of them! yikes. neither one is my cup of tea. I am not so brave as you!
I am imagining the diabolical minds who think of these crazy rides. As George Carlin said "Some grown man was at work one day....." (in this scenario, the next line was "I got one! near the refrigerator!" referring to suggestions on the package as to where to place the fake vomit)
I really think all who design thrill rides are closet sadists!
I, too love the shadow picture. !!!!!!!!!!

DH felt the same as we were swinging in our gondola on that ride... through clenched teeth in a very fake smile as I took his picture, he was saying "We're gonna DIE!" After that, he called it the "Spinning Mickey Head Wheel of Death".
Great update you guys and yes Heather I agree with you about that stupid not so fun wheel. rode it once when DCA first opened and it scared the bejezzus out of me. once was more than enough. We have been there many many times and just last week Lance asked me if I wanted to go on it. No thanks. I love screamin and think they did a great job putting that much coaster in such a small space. Wish they would put in a Rocking Roller coaster back in the old Millionare building.
You guys should hit up Magic Mtn when you get out here in October they have some great coasters.
Magic Mountain is on my bucket list. I would probably have to bring D'Sis along. Lady H has seen the website and some of the coasters there. I personally think she would prefer to send me with D'Sis and keep her feet planted firmly on the ground.
Just go with Nebo this fall. He'll go on all the coasters.
Hello! It's nice to see you back, and I don't mind the gaps so much, because I just can't keep up with all the TRs - and I keep signing up for yet another one - it's an addiction I tell you!
I was thinking the other day, if I went to a job interview and they asked what was the last book I read it would be, "Ummmm, well it's not really a book..."
Heather, your experience on CS was the same as my first time on that ride. I thought I would die, and then when it went upside down, I had my eyes open, and I thought, "Huh, interesting - I'm upside down and I'm still alive!" The second time I didn't pay attention and I was leaning forward looking at something off to the side when they took off and my head got stuck bent forward for the entire ride! I could not put it up no matter how hard I tried. That was NOT fun. So when they tell you to sit back, they are not kidding.
I LOVE the moving cars on Fun Wheel! DH hates them like you did. When we took DDIL, everyone had fun making the car rock and shake (not me of course ) and watching her freak out. I think you either love this one or hate it. I'm glad you got your beer reward!
Here's a couple more music videos to keep you occupied while we wait on the next chapter.
Foreigner
Richard Marx
I'm at work so I can't see the vids.... but I'm still here!
