I use to like rollercoasters but I tried a couple last year and it kind of shook me up a bit. I'll try again but I have to see how it works. My Mom suggested that my stomache might have changed after carrying a baby. Maybe that's true.
If it is I suppose I could live without riding rollercoasters.

Busch Gardens has the Roman Rapids. You get in an octogon shaped boat type deal and you go through the tunnel and then get sprayed on a few different turns. It's kind of cool but you do get drenched!

I chose to post this here instead of staring a new thread.
If that was the wrong thing to do I am sorry.
A kid died today when he rode the Rockandroller coaster at Disney World.
The investigation so far says that the ride operated as normal but he died on the way to the hospital. They still closed the rockandroller coaster because it would have been unsafe to keep it open after what happend.
So even thou it will probably turn out that the ride was nto broken there is a bad reaction this person had to it.
This was the 3rd death that there has been at disny in 2 years.
The others were a woman who had records of heart failure, and a little 4 year old.
I don't think fast rides like that and heavy pressure rides are any place for a kid that small anyway.
The woman with heart history was old enough to decide for herself what to do.
I think there should be a minimum age. And if the ride was faulty Disny should close it down but if not I don't know what to think because 12 should be old enough for any of the rides that parks have.

I'm going to Orlando tomorrow and sometime in the course of the next week we will indeed be going to Bush Gardens. I hope it's clean.

I can't be thinking about rollercoasters for a while now. But that's ok. It's worth it.

Roller coasters rock. Here near where I live, we have Six Flags Great Adventure. Which has the current tallest (and fastest) roller coaster in the entire world. Kingda Ka. I forget how high it is, but its top speed is around 110 miles per hour. Ive been a coaster junkie since I was 10.

How many Six Flags Parks are there? There must be hundreds.

I might get some time off in August. If I do I'll take the family to Busch Gardens again.
I just noticed the kid spelled it like a 'rose bush' that's ok though.

Went to Busch Gardens Tampa beginning o' the month. It was African themed so I was like wtf afrik a zat do wit anheiserbush?1 but when I went on the wooden coaster "Gwazi" I delighted and rode it again. We waited in line for 45 minutes for a 45 second river rapids ride and ate at a gormet buffet. All in all, I think it was worth the trip.

Good. That is the only catch to all the famous parks you wait a long time for a shrot ride. But there's no alternative.
