Roller coasters: not so much

[prog]

Wednesday classicaljunkie and I went to Six Flags. It was weird and nobody had any fun. Basically, her approach to amusement parks is to ride the 500-foot coasters over and over until she can't walk anymore. Mine is to go on the baby rides with my eyes squeezed shut while I go FUCKFUCKSHITCOCKNONOAAAAAAAAAAA, and then sit for a while to recover. A basic incompatibility was thus discovered.

But then we went shopping and had coffee and felt better.

I'm with you on the rides thing. I can handle the little "saucer cup" type ride where you swing around, but that is about it. Anything requiring me to turn upside down, or experience "zero g" of the gut is right out.

Other things like ferris wheels or water rides are just fine, and non-roller coaster type things at places like Epcot are good.

my wife, on the other hand, loves rides. She would not want to do big scary coasters, but she would do "normal" ones and other rides with glee.
