I'm still working to process everything that's happened. And it's late. And I'm getting tired. So a story.
I don't have a big history with rides. I don't go to theme parks much and the rides at fairs aren't the same. As a result, a lot of what I'm experiencing is completely new to me. It's fun but my first time in is more complicated. Certain things I can kinda take and other stuff scares the tar outta me. Like Space Mountain. Excellent build up and the roller-coaster is in a mostly dark room and it kinda builds on itself. Barely seeing myself fly through the tracks I'd already been on was unnerving.
The Mummy ride at Universal was similar. After the first time I rode it, I wasn't sure I liked it. I rode it again today and enjoyed it much more because I had some idea what was going to happen. I knew there'd be yelling, and some fire, and a backwards drop before rotating and twisting. So much twisting. In the dark. But I'm still in a car at that point, very secured, and that helps me relax a bit. I see the Hulk ride and your feet are loose and you go upside down. I don't like the thought of that much.

Florida Trip - 1
My feet hurt. My legs are sore. I'm tired.
This is great.
Our group is the Gentekis family (George, Amy, and their three children - Niko, Jason, and Kara) as well as our pal Moppy (Matt). The kids are all in the ten or under range so they're not great at stuff we consider important like staying together as a group and not wandering off. They're generally good kids but they get excited and tired and occasionally difficult.
When we first arrived at the Magic Kingdom, I grew a little frustrated with the children. I'm the only person in our group that's never, ever made this trip before and the children's excitement was getting irritating. I began to wish we had left them behind.
We went on the Pirates of the Carribean and then headed to Big Thunder, riding that twice. The second time I rode with Kara who's about four. She giggled and squealed and tried to push herself into me to be safe. It was awesome. At that point I no longer was concerned about having the kids along. It was officially nice.
