What happened on the Ferris Wheel? Did you throw up? I have not been on one in a very long time and I never will go on one again. I’ve developed a fear of heights so any of those tall rides are off limits. Tall bridges scare me now too. My mother doesn’t do well on them either.

I actually spazzed out on the kiddie coaster because of the sharp turns that made it feel as though the cars were going to fall off the track.

When you are an adult and you flipped out on a freaking kiddie coaster you know you’re a wimp. :(

Do not, repeat, NOT! ride the HULK at Universal!

It was my first ride of the day and darn near my last one!

My eyes kept telling me one thing and my inertial computer in my inner ears another!

Yes, I was on the ferris wheel with my dad for the first time, and the slow way it moved and the way the cars rotated with the movement of the wheel gave me terrible motion sickness. So as a general rule I avoid circular motion rides.

When I was a kid, I was at Pontchatrain beach with my mom. We had just ridden the Galaxy roller coaster, which was an older, steel coaster that preceded the Rajun Cajun.

We exited the ride and walked across the street get in the haunted house line, and after a few minutes we heard a racket behind us. We turned around to see that the very next run of the Galaxy and left the lead three cars hanging off the coaster at the highest part just before the first drop started.

Everyone was able to be rescued, and no one was seriously hurt that I know of, but that was the end of the Galaxy at that amusement park. Really glad we were not on that run.
