24. I loved the large roller coasters!

My brother and I would ride and then get right back in line to do it again. We would do that until Mom forced us to leave.
In Vancouver there was one of the huge wooden roller coasters at the Pacific Northwest Exhibition.
Also, the back seat was best. We tried them all and the back seat whips like a tail.
