Lauren Elizabeth Hersman, age 6 accompanied me as I had my first ever roller coaster experiance. The Shamu ride in the kid's play ground section of Sea World provided me with my 10 seconds of exhilleration, followed by the realization that not having avoided roller coasters for the previous 24 years was a good idea.
Along with the roller coaster I also was brave enough to try the freefall crab. A daring and dangerously scary piece of machinery, which carries you a miraculous 30 feet into the air and then drops you in waves of ten or so feet at an incredible speed.
Then there were the spinning and rising tea cups. Lauren, Meredith and I waited in line for 20 minutes in order to sit in a teacup, rise into the air, and control the rate at which we spun. We got our 20 minutes worth of waiting in spins.... till we figured out that Lauren and I get "tea cup sick".
Disclaimer: some information in this entry has been slightly exagerated for effect.... except of course that I do NOT like roller coasters and was embarased to be screaming more than my 6 year old niece. Shamu my friend, you may have the honor of being the only roller coaster that Anna Elizabeth Meiners rides within her lifetime. How's that for an honor?
