I'm also partial to dark rides such as Space Mountain

My scariest ride was on Space Mountain in Anaheim.  The boys were *just*
tall enough to go on all the rides.  It was getting late, and Kristin had
something else to do (shopping, prolly), so us three guys headed off.  I
didn't remember until we got to the front of the line that it was two per
seat.  Not wanted to strand one boy by himself, I had them sit together,
and I sat behind.  They were in a separate car from me, so there was a
certain amount of physical space, maybe eight feet.  They were at least far
enough away that I couldn't reach them.  It was so loud, I couldn't hear
them.  And it was usually so dark, I couldn't see them.

That was the first RC ride I would describe as "white knuckles".

I've since learned to relax and trust my kids self-abilities just a bit
more.

(...) Yes. I assume you participate in the annual ranking/poll?? I stopped reading rec.roller.coaster due to time constraints rather than lack of interest. Are you in ACE? I've never ridden the cyclone, unf. My favorite woody has to be Giant Dipper (...) (25 years ago, 30-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
