I promised not to voluntarily get on any thrill rides taller than the Chrysler Building in exchange for gravity not violently dropping me at 200 mph with nothing to break my fall but my fool head. So far that deal has worked out pretty well for me.

Last time we took out son to Magic Mountain in Southern California my husband and I agreed it would be our last amusement park with scary roller coasters. I still can do Disneyland roller coasters and thats it for me!
